A Short Film

Today was a work day. That's quite self explanatory, isn't it?

We came together and brainstormed for all of the three periods and we were trying to figure out how to go about starting this project. We narrowed it down and gave the film a couple of parameters: First of all, the film will be within 3-5 minutes long. Secondly, it will either be a horror or a dramedy (we're leaning towards the latter). Lastly, we decided that it was going to revolve around a man and one of his childhood memories. Our research included discussing Louis C.K. and his cynical (but brutally honest) approach to the world and watching a couple of his stand-up clips.

It took us a little while to solidify an idea because we were all going off on different tangents and considering different possibilities. However, I believe one of our problems today was that we were trying to collaborate and create this film into a much longer thing than we had time for. Luke stepped in near the end and clarified that to us.

I'm serving as the director/cinematographer/video editor in this project and my vision for this film is to create something that is straight to the point and direct while at the same time being of high quality. While there's nothing quite on par with the short film Porcelain Unicorn, it gives me hope that it's very possible to make a fantastic 3 minute film.
