Idea's

IDEA 1
For my first Idea I thought of having someone who commits suicide and then they go back in time and live out that same day but it would have a open narrative so the audience does not know what choice the person makes the second time around. We could put in drug use, self-harm and certain subjects; this will engage the type of audience, being teenagers.


NARRATIVE – sound over creates the persons real feelings to what the shots look like, and can describe the sort of life the protagonist has.

GENRE – Social realism

MISSE-EN-SCENE – set in 2007 the short film portrays a teenager who struggles with life. The majority of the film is set at home but it cuts in to school and other sets within the film. There should be very a dark colour scene however in certain scenes the colour could be changed to show a different mood!

AUDIENCE – Teenagers – 16 – 21 year olds



IDEA 2
Someone is walking in the woods and they come across someone who has been attacked, then we see various flashback of what has happened to the person, the protagonist now has to try and find the attacker as they are still in the woods, but does she get attacked trying to catch the culprit? You will never know!


NARRATIVE – The thoughts of the attacker and the victim are recorded over the clips, showing their feelings throughout without any other sounds apart from the surroundings and backing music.

GENRE – Social Realism, Crime

MISSE-EN-SCENE – Set around the year 2000, this short film portrays the inner feelings of a psychopath and a victim; the scenes are very dark and mysterious, mainly set in the woods where the crime is committed.





IDEA 3
Our final idea is based on the film Groundhog Day where someone relives the same day over and over. The protagonist wakes up everyday 5 minutes earlier and having a cigarette, and then we see him walk out of the front door and walk to the bus station.
Then we see the main character spot a girl that is at the bus station everyday.
He lives out the day and the first day he has a great day getting the girls number and helping the homeless person.
The next day he relives the day and doesn’t act as he did before and this continues for the next 2 days.
On the 4th day the protagonist is that busy giving the homeless guy a lecture that he steps out into the road and gets hit by a car!
The end of the film has a wide shot of the bed with no one in it and it says Tuesday with a question mark, instead of Monday.


NARRATIVE – in our short film the narrative is closed as the protagonist ends up being hit by a car/bus and consequently it ends by carrying onto the next day instead of reliving it.
As well as being a closed narrative, the storyline has a single strand narrative as we follow one character in the story and his daily life.
Here’s a list of the other narratives we will use

• Anti-Realist
• Closure
• Motivations
• Alternative Narrative

GENRE – Social Realism/ Fantasy

MISSE EN SCENE – For our short film we have decided to have for the protagonist a smartly dressed man, the colours will be fairly dark colours. As a contrast the girl will be wearing fairly bright colours so that she stands out.

AUDIENCE – This short film has a wide audience range, because of the genre and the storyline I suggest that the audience will be around mid teens (15-17) to mid aged people (30+)
