a group of 4 friends are having the time while at a house party of their life until they’re put into a position that could rip them apart.
I have scouted 2 locations I think would be suitable for our project. The first one is the sand dunes for our final scene of our project as well as the other location being at a friends house which will contain the bulk of the filming, we have got permission from the parents of the person.
We have watched both films and begun to brainstorm our storyline together.
I have scouted locations and we have 2 filming locations agreed upon.
We’ve firmly established the roles within our group and decided that we are writing the screenplay collaboratively.
We have been tasked to watch Project X and one of the Knife’s out films. Our short fil will be in the genre of mystery with film footage within.
I will begin to scout locations that will be suitable for the film for next week in order to report back to the rest of the group.
Working Title: ???
reflection:
Me and George worked well together in order to complete this task within the given timeframe as well as working collaboratively while writing this.
It was also kind of tricky in order to fit all of the details we deemed to be important into such a small timeframe.
We could of worked better if we knew more context of the book and how the opening scene reflects the rest of the world seen throughout the book.
I worked with George to adapt the opening section of George Orwell’s 1948 book “1984”
A screenplay is a written work for a film, television show, or other moving media, that expresses the movement, actions and dialogue of a particular scene or character.
One film i think has a good screenplay is Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained
For our collaborative film project, I’m working with George (cinematographer), Noah (sound designer) and Iona (editor), I will be directing and we will be writing collaboratively.
Robert Weine’s 1922 film The Cabinet of Dr Caligari is a strong German Expressionist film that went on to influence the neo-Noir film genre and spawn many films that take inspiration from this such as Batman Returns and more prominently Mulholland Drive, they both stand out due to their unique stylisation, from the abnormal dimensions of the furniture in Dr Caligari to the abstract architecture of the manor in Batman Returns. These films have been chosen as they were made in contrasting contexts, Caligari being made in a different political and historical context when compared to Batman due to Caligari being made during the Weimar Republic years of 1918-33 whereas Batman Returns was made during 90’s America where the spread of communism had been stopped and everyone was celebrating the win of capitalism, so the differences in genre tropes can be clearly seen. Robert Weine’s film follows a somnambulist who makes deadly predictions that are horrifying. Later, a man and his fiancée go through a terrible ordeal because of one of his predictions. Whereas in Burton’s film, Max, an entrepreneur, and criminal Penguin team up to wreak havoc in Gotham City, Batman decides to stop them. Catwoman’s alter ego, Selina Kyle, seeks revenge on Max for trying to kill her.
