Creative Diary

My Plan

 I will be doing a 4-5 minute short film focused on developing a single character. The film will follow me or a stand in for me (haven't decided yet) on my journey to school. It will be largely focused on cinematography, lighting and editing (to create interesting visual techniques). I will not be putting a lot of focus on performance or mis en scene (with the exception of the colour yellow to signify attention). The focus is divided in this way to centre the project on mimicking my experience with ADD. The sound will also play an important role. I intend to create a contrast between what I see vs what everyone else sees, to emphasise this I will use upbeat music in a pair with the ADD focused scenes.

 To develop the short I will need some help. I plan to recruit some friends to help me shoot, as well as sourcing a camera and some yellow props. I plan to use this to create a rough draft of what I want to actually put out, giving me an idea of any changes I'll need to make. The main feature I'm hoping to create would be a sort of dream sequence, or a daydream sequence as I see it (somewhat similar to the dream sequence from The Big Lebowski).
