Writing Exercise

During our writing exercise in class, we penned down some ideas that we were going to use for our filming. As this point of time, I’m quite interested in doing a short drama series of POV shots. I want to explore different film making techniques while trying this. Not too sure how and what my final direction would be, but hopefully as I go along and do more research, I’ll be able to form a better idea of where I’m heading.

I will constantly be updating this post about new ideas and hopefully be able to come up with a few scenarios for my project.

 

List of actions

  • Running
  • Drinking
  • Strolling
  • Fiddling with phone
  • Sleepwalking
  • Drumming
  • Getting dressed

 

List of locations

  • School
  • Library
  • Swimming Pool
  • Beach
  • Home

 

List of people

  • Neighbour who is living alone, treats her dog as if it was a human
  • Student getting ready for a day at Uni
  • Girl is late and she runs to her bus stop
  • Dodgy guy sitting at the bus stop, sipping on his coffee

 

EDIT//

After my consultation with Paul, I’ve decided to head in another direction for my experiments. As with my second initiative post, I’m interested in how lighting in a film can affect the quality of the production. For now, I’m planning to do a series of shots for two different scenarios. Basically I’m trying to experiment how different a production would look like if I use natural lighting versus artificial lighting.
