INITIAL COURSE OF ACTION:

INITIAL COURSE OF ACTION:

To start off my film journey I will study the listed short films in detail to pick out bits I liked about each.

The things I will focus on are:

• microelements
• Themes
• Aesthetic feel to the film
• Use of cinematography
• Use of mise-en-scen
• lighting 
• props
• acting

Then:
I plan to then focus on other things which inspire me such as:

• Books
• Historical events
• Other short and feature length films
• Tv shows

Then: 
I need to create my screenplay and do research into how this is formatted. I will create:

• Create multiple drafts of my screenplay 
• Create a location plan 
• create a shot list
• Storyboard my film
• complete a risk assessment 

Finally: 
I need to write up my evaluation of my film and assess whether I have reached the aims I have set up now.


By the end of my project I aim to have:

• A completed and polished short film
• A film which conveys how I have used my research and put together ideas
• An aesthetically challenging or interesting film
• A wide range of cinematographically and editorial skills shown/used
• New found skills in operating a camera and using editorial software
• Improved my directorial skills
