The document discusses ideas for a short film, including having a simple storyline in the style of Wes Anderson films, showing two families coming together to create balance at the end. It considers using job leaflets and filming from a teddy's perspective to more efficiently show a day in its life. While building layers could add meaning, it may overcomplicate the simple idea. Working with children means some situations may be out of the filmmakers' control due to weather or tiredness.

2.  Good idea with Wes Anderson style
 Simple story line to follow
 Easy to make look sweet& heart-warming
 Room for connections & small complexities
 2 families coming together is a good way to
create equilibrium at the end

3.  Idea of just having job leaflets laid on the table
and Eloise sitting and talking on the phone. -
cuts the amount of filming and the time of the
short film.
 To incorporate the ‘day in the life of a teddy’ part
more by using James’ suggestion of having a
camera on the teddy, filming from its
perspective.
 Build layers within the story to create
meaning

4.  Might overcomplicate our simple idea if we
build on our it too much
 Including the whole job centre scene may
distract from the original point of the story
 Working with children means we can’t be
completely in control of what’s situations
 We have to work around the weather when
filming outdoor scenes

5.  Using aspects of James’ idea to use teddy’s
perspective in the film
 Use idea of leaflets to establish issues quicker
 I am going to use techniques to entertain Jack
so that he enjoys being in the film and feels
comfortable, like he’s playing a game
 I am going to work around Layla’s schedule so
that she isn't tired and crying when filming
