scene concept.

This being my first year as a media student, I have not yet experimented with much film-making, hence, I am open to exploring many ideas, whether it be exciting or more ordinary. Initially, I was inspired by using the locations which I am surrounded with and setting my scene within those. Living in Carlton, I have access to many locations which can inspire quite different moods and tones to a story.

Carlton gardens

  • warm & sunny
  • lots of green
  • park benches

Provokes these sounds:

  • birds chirping
  • crunching of leaves
  • sounds of traffic in the background

City streets

  • A more quiet street
  • A few cars and trams pass by
  • cold and windy (grey)
  • people walking by

Provokes these sounds:

  • trams/car noises
  • footsteps
  • sound of wind
  • birds flying by
  • soft murmurs of the people

I am not entirely sure of what these locations/sounds may inspire at this point. However I want there to be a sense of drama as I really want to include on of those dramatic chase scenes. Hence having two characters; the runner and the chaser. However there could be a plot twist and turns out the person is only chasing them down because they dropped their wallet or something.

Here is a funny example of what I was also inspired by: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24uTb6jEs_g

Other actions could be:

  • Clutching onto a coat as they shield themselves from the wind
  • Stopping to check the time on their watch
  • Sitting on a park bench and people watching
  • Reading a book in the park
  • Texting on their phone with their earphones in as they walk down the street
  • Bumping into someone accidentally
