Early stage planning: Film Ideas


We had previously intended to target a teenage audience, ranging from the age of 15 and above, therefore whilst planning the film it was important to consider the theme and many other aspects of out potential film, so that it is appropriate for our audience.
The purpose of the film had not yet been decided it was a decision between a film to raise an issue or a film simply for entertainment purposes or even perhaps combining the two purposes.


The brainstorming for the film ideas had begun. With such a broad range of themes to aim at we found it difficult to spark up original ideas, we were suffering from writers block. However we had finally settles down up came up with a few ideas:

Idea 1: Creating a fake documentary style film, following the daily lives of the rioters as they explain there own version of events.

Thee concept of this idea was a good one, however filming a documentary will limit the amount of different camera techniques to use, furthermore there will be a lot of dialogue taking place, which could also be an issue.



Idea 2: A film which showed the everyday life of two different people from contrasting backgrounds, showing how life can be so difficult for some people where as for others life is a walk in the park.




Idea 3: This idea combined the idea of following the everyday life of two contrasting families or people, however this idea would consist of a life cycle, showing a baby growing into a child, teenager then adult.

The cast would be a clear issue for this idea in particular, it will be difficult to find or assemble all these different characters.


Idea 4: The previous ideas that we had thought of tackled serious issues and themes within society, which were aimed at raising an issue, therefore we now decided to think of a much more light hearted film, which aimed to entertain.

We came up with the idea or teenager love/lust as we all have experienced this during s period in our life making it easier to relate.
The idea for the film is a boy who loses his wallet and soon realises that it has gone missing and goes into a state of panic, not known to him an attractive girl stumbles across the wallet. She is now determined to return this wallet to its owner and goes on the search. The boy re-traces his steps desperately aiming to find his wallet, both boy and girl suddenly cross paths, the wallet is returned as they both awkwardly stare at each other with lust. However that is the end of it they both begin walking in opposite directions.

This is just the outline of the film, there is still a lot to do in terms of developing the scripts.
