Idea 1+2

1. Idea no.1
A working title:
‘Melody is an escape’
Length of the Film:
Relatively short about 4-7 minutes
Short logline/tagline :
4 friends use music to escape from the mundane mental confines of education.
4 friends rebel against the mundane academia through music.
Characters:
Each member of the ‘band’ – guitarist, drummer, bass, singer etc. They are both shown to feel in
a similar depressed way over school but then when they play music together its positive and a
way to forget about it.
Ben L, Harvey G, Luke L, Jacob G

2. Inspiration
I have taken inspiration, especially aesthetically from the
drumming movie Whiplash which has excellent
cinematography, I also like the appearance of some of the
live performance videos from Audiotree.
I especially like the photographic works of Gregory
Crewsden, I like his wide domestic shots and how they
create a tone.

3. Idea no. 2

‘Finally’, ‘Have some fun once in a while’, ‘Breathe’
