I have an idea of a short film, which just takes place in a study room or common area in building 9 RMIT. The plot is very simple: in a quiet study room, some people are studying or doing their homework, it starts with the camera giving close up from different perspective of a person who is writing his or her essay (extreme close up of his finger, the laptop screen and medium close up of his or her face and body), and then a wide shot indicating the location. Then a girl opens the door and the sound of it attracts his attention. He stops writing and looks at the person coming in and the camera cuts to her after that. The girl comes to him and politely asks if she can sit next to him, he said OK, of course, and continue to write. But then the she starts to make noise: playing music, watching video and laughing loudly. The camera should frequently cut between her behaviors and his reactions. The man tries many ways to remind her not to do that (should be some actions really funny, like showing his headphone to the girl, which suggests using this rather than your speaker please), except saying you are making too much noise directly, but she just ignores it. As a result the man gives up with leaving the room. But interestingly, after seeing he gone, the girl immediately stop making noise, and shows a mean smile of triumph, which means she might deliberately do such behaviors in order to make that man gone because she doesn’t want to sit with him, wants to occupy the table alone or just doesn’t like him (whatever reasons you like).
So it is not complicated at all, but very useful to practice my camera shooting and sound recording skills. The story might not be amazing but has its narrative and logic, at least I think so.
