Depict

In our first official assignment, we've been given the task of creating a short film for the 2015 depict competition! 

My initial idea was a comedy which allowed me to go out in the public and ask them awkward questions! I would've travelled to norwich and asked people of all ages in the city centre. The questions that I would've asked would've consisted of 'how often do you have sex?' Or 'do you watch porn?'

Laura's initial idea was a western take on a modern tone, the sepia look and drastic extreme close ups gave it this very modernized take on a Western. For example car's would have been like horses etc. Almost similar to how Baz Lurman made Romeo and Juliet.

We combined all of our initial ideas into one coming up with this modernised action, western, comedy which is set in a cafe and it is about two people wanting to purchase the last coffee but it's shot in the way like its a western. For example there will be extreme close ups especially of the eyes. And instead of guns we thought of the idea of having wallets to give it a naturalistic feeling. We also thought about having little elements of comedy into it to make it feel light hearted and to make it feel like an action film we'd use oversaturation and quick edits to make this mundane situation look like something larger then life.
