This task features some notes that were made whilst me and my group were discussing the initial ideas for our short film and its general contests, how it will be shot and how we will light it.

SOPHIA LEONTI
I believe that the film should feature a dark
twist on hide and seek. The film will feature a
child running trough the forest being chased
by something “dark” and “evil’.”
I believe that we should also make the
camera go in and out of focus. This would be
used to make it appear as if the character is
disorientated. This would make the film feel
more realistic

ELLIE STREETS
I believe that we should make a thriller for our
short. This would allow us to use some aspects
of horror whilst still making the film different
and interesting. Next I also think that we should
address mental illness in the film. This does not
have to be obvious but we should reference it
in some way. The film also needs to contain a
plot twist to throw of the audience about the
motives of the characters in the film. Low key
lighting would also be perfect for the film to
make the shadows stand out more and make
the characters seem more in intriguing.

MANTAS BRUZAS
I believe that we should add some flickering
effects in to the film to show the reference to
mental illness but not make it too obvious. I think
that wee should shoot in the woods as it would
allow for us to set different moods using lighting
and the atmosphere in the woods. Some of the
film should also be shot in POV using Go-Pro’s this
would make it appear more realistic and a more
interesting to watch. The film should also feature
some stabilised shots that show the cheaters form
another perspective. Lastly I believe that we
should use some aspects of natural lighting in the
film to create a warmer feeling in some scenes.
