Storyboards for my first and favourite treatment: The Letter: Arranging your own death.

Here is the mood board for my idea the letter, it includes shots from other films, shots I wish to use, colours and textures and the general feeling I want to incorporate into my Mystery/Thriller/Drama piece. Treatment 1: The Letter: Arranging Your Own Death? The establishing shot starts with a post delivery vehicle moving down the road.  An unknown deliver man moves  down the driveway through a first person perspective in day light, mixed into this shot  is doley shot of a male ages 30-40 sitting face down on an the floor in a dimly lit room with a bluish tint. The fast pace of the alternating shots is brought to an abrupt end when the letter is finally slid in from outside, our character jumps up startled by the noise, revealing his face fully.    The next shot we see our character moving hastily down the stair from a quirky angle in daylight. he  sorts through the letters, one of the letters is entitled, ' DO NOT OPEN UNTIL ...

The main central focus for my 90 second film is going to revolve around a letter, the working title is 'The Letter' The piece revolves around the central themes of questing reality, characters mentality, time and general mystery. Although my differing treatments alter the plot of the film slightly, the general idea is that their is character who receives an mysterious letter, the content of the letter questions the characters reality and the audience is left to  decipher  the outcome.  I have drawn influence from various sources, mainly other existing film. Notable influence include aspects from the film Memento ( 2000 ) , the idea that a character cannot recall writing a letter to himself and posing for a photo struck me as particularly interesting. Other influence comes from the film Fight Club (1999) as it deals with distorted reality's and questions the mental stability of the main character throughout, the idea that w...

For this coursework I will produce a short 90 second film for entry into the DepicT film competition, there are no strict guidelines as such as DePict accepts a huge variety of mediums and genres: documentary, horror, animation and many more options are available to select if so desired. From a first glance at the DePict website I notice that many pieces are simple yet elegant, they strive to display artistic vision rather than complex story lines and effects, a simple yet effective statement is present at the climax of many piece. For example I found 'Fag & Egg', a film that stands alone as artistic vision with little intrinsic meaning, and then there is a little gem entitled 'the Laundrette' that has a sweet simple message of love, mixed in off course with masterfully crafted and well thought out camera shots and lighting. The Laundrette http://www.depict.org/2011/the-launderette/?category_request=2011 I believe this brief wi...

Originally designed to be projected on stage behind a local Nottingham Hip-Hop group. The piece is intended to be a collection of abstract visuals, which harbour no identifiable storyline, plot or characters. Basically it was meant to deviate from the conventions of the cliché' rap video, e.g. cars, girls. The Key themes are Mirrors, Death, Time, Energy and Anger. The extra two minutes at the end when the song repeats were designed in case the band performs over schedule. I used a lot of After Effects and filmed most green screen and live footage using the Canon 7D. This work was also assigned by the Nottingham design agency Urban Angle. Enjoy, Rate and please leave a comment.

Well kinda, nothing huge but it's worth a mention here, remember my last project? The political advert I made about foul ingredients found in everyday fast foods?
