Production Diary 1 (Post 5)

 Idea

Why do I want to make the short film, what purpose will it serve?

• I want my short film to present a political message, the myth of choice for the working classes in capitalism and the fim will present this message through dialogue and allegory.
• The reason I want to do this is for the purpose of educating the audience and attempting to disprove the freedom of choice that the working class has under capitalist systems.

Location

There are 4 primary locations within my short film, the bedrooms, the park and the estate

• The bedrooms will have to look distinctly different to further represent the class divide, this will be done through the mise-en-scene.
• The park will be one of the parks in the estate behind the Co-operative Food in Mulbarton, this is a relatively medium sized park and so should be spaced out enough to film in without being interrupted but also adding realistic and diegetic background noise.
• The estate will be the estate behind the Co-operative Food in Mulbarton

Inspirations from previous films

• I plan to make my film quite dialogue heavy, this is taken primarily from Skinny Jeans as the dialogue drives that narrative, similarly to how it drives this one and sets up the main main message of the film.         
• I'll have the opposite focus on aesthetic when compared to the student short film "Anniversary", which used to flashy editing to increase the focus on aesthetic effect, whereas my short film focuses more on narrative and the message and so the editing will be more naturalistic to keep the focus on dialogue and not aesthetic.
