LO1 - Task 1 - Treatment: Planning for Film Idea

24/03/14 -Objective for end of session - Planning with Griffin.

For this project I was originally working with Griffin, but later ended up working individually on our own separate film short-film projects.

When Griff and I were planning for this unit, we both wanted to work on a short film instead or a music video, so this decision was easy. We thought about what short film we could make and we came up with a futuristic satire of police action dramas, looking at films like Hot Fuzz (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Fuzz) and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiss_Kiss_Bang_Bang) for inspiration.

After we presented our initial idea, here is the feedback received from other pupils in the class.

Once me and Griff decided to work individually, I chose to still work on a short film, but didn't wish to develop the original idea and instead work on something else. My teacher recommended a few ideas, one of which was a  mockumentary. I looked mostly at the mockumentary T.V. series "2012" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty_Twelve) for inspiration, as well as actual Channel 4 documentaries and looked out for recurring tropes and other documentaries features that I could parody.

My idea for  a short film was a mockumentary about someone who suffered from a disorder called Over-Active Pun Syndrome.
