Changing Idea

While contemplating my project, I have decided that a change would be best, as working by myself will mean I'd have a lot of work to do, and my idea is generally over-ambitious and logistically would be very difficult to complete. I have decided to join up with two other people, Dylan and Ruben, together we will film a post-modern, contemporary short film.

I will be in charge of editing. The general message behind the film will be how society is becoming consumed with technology and its influence on our generation. 

I felt like the change would be best for numerous reasons:

1) Working in a group will allow us to spread the work load, so we can put more effort into smaller parts of the film, making it better overall.

2) The idea we have thought of together is a stronger idea than my previous one. It follows more conventions of a short film and is very contemporary.

Synopsis

-> Our short film will be entirely in greyscale.

-> It starts cutting between ECUs of different eyes.

-> The cutting stops on the main character and zooms out until his whole body is in frame.

-> We will then follow the narrative of three characters as they are completely absorbed by technology and it controls their lives.

-> The film will end with a powerful twist where it will cut to colour and the characters will have their family around them, before cutting back to greyscale and the family disappearing again.

I'll be uploading the storyboard very soon, so I hope that will make the plot much clearer.
