I am part of a four person group working along side my good friends and fellow media students Chloe, Karlene, and Adele to plan and produce a short film. We have been discussing ideas for our short film project and have come to an agreement on producing a film based on the idea of fate telling. With the most probable form of a five part film where each clear cut chapter concerns four different fates given by the fortune telling machine. However we are still discussing what the fate tickets will read and how we are going to make them happen.
We are currently producing the fate machine and are in discussions over the shot script, costumes and props. We have made the decision that we will each be responsible for all the areas of a section of the film. I have taken control over the final chase sequence. Karlene has taken a lead role over the first two fate readings, Chloe the third and Adele will be producing the fight with reality.
We have also been considering target audiences but have yet to come to any decisions on an audience that are film should be directed at. We will however need to come to an agreement so that we can make use of appropriate actors and designs that will address the certain target audience. We shall continue our discussions for this and all areas that need to be considered before we produce our film.
Thematically we have several options open to us but as a group we are yet to decide on a format, theme or a particular genre for our project. The intended topic of fate and fortunes being realised requires us to research the background beliefs, views and opinions surrounding the issue. I am a believer in science and so have no realised views of fate being part of our lives but I am aware of others views and am open to those of my group with respect to their ideas for our short film.
We are currently at an early stage of planning and my group have many topics to discuss before all areas of the film have been addressed and we are ready for its production.
