Preparing for the real world and showcasing all your talent. I am currently working with another member of my class, Nadine. I will be conducting a short drama and she will be doing a documentary. I shall begin by saying this is frustrating when you have an idea but when it comes to bringing it altogether you are lost for words. Firstly, I like watching all types of movies regardless of the Genre, every film has its own spark, some may be amazing and some may be extremely boring but everyone has their own taste. The current genres I am into are horror, thriller, comedy and romance. Most films we watch now a days are very predictable, but its a form of escapism to distract the audience. I have chosen to select themes such as war, love and guilt to build by final project proposal.
To start with the preparation of the proposal will begin through group meetings and this is with my peer, Nadine. We will aim to brainstorm ideas and watch drama that may have influenced my idea in order to bring out a strong piece across to the audience. the natural flow of ideas and brainstorming is an advantage towards my final idea because it will help develop trust between group members and build a positive relationship. Below I will include my first draft of my short film which is based on war, love and guilt. I chose to combine themes together in order to build an emotion through the characters in my drama.
SYNOPSIS
A tale of two best friends who come to terms with the issue of love, faithfulness and mature hood with a woman caught in-between them.

GENRE
Short drama
DURATION
Maximum 10 minutes. We intend to keep the
extract short and simple because it will have a storyline which will
be fast due to the shots progressing the idea of what happened before and what
is happening now in the drama. We will also be using archive footage to show
Tom at war.
AUDIENCE
The target audience for this project will be young adults because it will contain strong language. The plot of the story will reflect a young man who has left for war, and his best friend comes back to see him but finds out he is dead. Meanwhile, he finds himself comforting his best friend’s wife and begins to develop deep feelings for her. This will also target anyone who has been through similar situation where they have loved someone.

EQUIPMENTS
We will be using a JVC 750 camera to shoot the drama. This will be done via single camera work, we will aim to capture the harsh moments at the start where Tom is captured by prisoners in Afghanistan and taken to a village in a dark room. We will also record the sound with a boo microphone.

Most of the locations we intend to film at are local. If we need to spend money on props or other objects and travel we will fund them ourselves.
