Storyboard - Part Two

Storyboard and Synopsis - Part One

The film begins with the character of Rhys waking up from an attack that has left him unconscious. Coming round he finds himself bound to a chair also his sister Kathy and best friend/work colleague Lucy Morgan are tied by nooses to the ceiling of the warehouse. He notices that both women are on a trap door and are unable to move and rescue themselves. As his vision returns to complete focus the panic and questioning begins. Before Rhys has a chance to enquire anymore Lucy is given a message via earpiece from their captor.

Lucy is informed by Lance (The villain) that Rhys has two minutes in which to decide which one of them gets to live and which one of them dies. The tone of language and style he uses reinforces that this “game” as Lance calls it is personal between the two men. Panic and fear overcome Lucy as she forgets all previous training and warnings and pleads for life as well as communicating her terror. In contrast to Lucy’s behaviour, Kathy is calm and collected and even manages to use sarcasm, representing that she may already know Rhys’ decision or that she is indifferent and unable to feel the emotions that others in the room are portraying.

Rhys attempts to maintain control over the situation and instructs the two women in the best way he can. He tells Kathy to try and move, as he tries to remain calm. The movement of Kathy causes the rope to pull tighter around Lucy’s neck and she ends up screaming in pain. Ordering Kathy to stop is reminiscent of the power that Rhys uses in his everyday career; he suddenly looses the calm composure he has been using as the reality of the situation sets in. Whispering to Kathy he apologises for what can either be interpreted as the decision he is about to make or for a mistake he could have made in their past.  At this point the apology triggers something in Kathy and she tells him of how she believes Rhys see’s her. The dejected tone and language she uses show that she has had a troubled childhood and a stressed relationship with Rhys.  The realisation of what is about to happen hits Lucy and she angrily informs Rhys that this wasn’t how it was supposed to go, conveying that a situation like this may have been planned for.

Lucy then tries to persuade Rhys to change his mind by making him promise to take of Lucy’s two young children Ben and Amy. This information only seems to make Rhys’ choice harder and he struggles to choose between his heart and his head. He vows that he should have been able to save them both but his choice is cemented when he turns to Kathy and declares that promise shouldn’t made if you can’t keep them, conveying the immaturity that consists in their relationship. Lucy becomes aware that this is Rhys final decision and is furious that they’ve gone against all their codes and practices and chosen an innocent life. Kathy explains to Lucy that her brother is too caring and that it’s his biggest fault. Kathy and Rhys for the first time convey true emotions as they say goodbye. As Rhys’ decision is made the trapdoor swings open and Rhys closes his eyes unable to watch his sister’s death.



Title Concept

 

Titles are an important aspect of film. The title of a film not only makes it memorable but is used in order to give subtle information about the narrative and genre to its audience.  They are needed in order to produce an accurate representation of the films content. A successful title needs to be relevant to its genre and narrative. A title is the first piece of information an audience receives about a film, and in the case of a short film it would be used in order to convey and support the content and moral message to the viewer.

The title “two” is important in representing the film to its audience. The title is ambiguous and can be related to the narrative in a variety of interpretations. This is a vital trait as it conveys the form of knowledge and relationships with the message and content that the film that the audience has.  It was also the chosen title because of the fact it is generalised and doesn’t give important details about the narrative away, but does represent some of the crucial aspects of the genre. The fact that “two” is written without the standard capital at the beginning can connote the fact that, the content of the film subverts normal social conventions and can be deemed unsettling because of these factors; linking it back into the convention of horror.  The social drama genre is another connection to the title, due to the lack of capital letter at the beginning it breaks social traditions which is an important element of the aforementioned genre and within the short films itself.

The choice of the word “two” was important due to the fact it relates successfully to the plot of the film. There are two choices to make in the narrative, two characters that face death as well as two important factors about making decisions, do you make the choice that goes with your heart or your head. The word “two” depicts essential information to the audience but does not create too much detail until after watching the film. The title of the film conveys to the audience that there are always decisions. Due to the fact it is a one word phrase makes it easier to remember and therefore helps to make the film successful. 

Rough Costume Idea - Kathy

The choice of costume is an important factor of mise-en-scene and representing the character of Kathy to the audience. It also represents and supports the genre of the piece. The colour blue is representational of being trust worthy and dependable but the fact that the tone is darker it conveys a contrast of these traits. Navy/dark blue is symbolic of being uncaring and showing a lack of emotion, this trait is an important part of Kathy’s character and the use of the dress helps to support it. By using a dress it is a visual representation of her femininity. The length as well as the cut and style of this piece convey her natural personality as it flows fluently and allows her shape to be seen. The use of a dress allows a variety of audiences and social classes to interact with her.  A masculine stereotype may perceive her in a typical feminine character and women can be inspired by her. The fact that the dresses is produced of high value material, conveys to the audience the wealth and background that Kathy comes from, linking together the expensive and often labelled clothing that her brother Rhys wears. The style of the dress also conveys to the audience that though appearance is important to Kathy, it is not the most important aspect of her personality. It also helps to detail her individuality. The two layers of fabric used upon the dress are there and can convey the different traits that make up Kathy. The emotions she doesn’t allow herself to show, and therefore are buried inside and the cold exterior she possess. The dark tone and the fact it is a dress can link to the danger and convention of fear that the horror genre produces.

The shoes are the last piece of the costume and as Kathy is standing for the majority of the film are crucial. The most important aspect that they represent is her individuality and the difference between her and Rhys. The colours of these boots are brown in order to continue the contrast between the colours that her clothes symbolise and her personality. The colour brown represents stability and nature and both of these factors don’t concern Kathy. Brown is also used to represent wholesomeness, which is a trait that Kathy doesn’t have; she is upfront and bold with everything. By continuing the theme of contrast it allows for Kathy’s rebellion against society to be confirmed within the audiences mind. By wearing boots instead of simple high heels it conveys her individuality but also her femininity as traditionally high heels would be worn by young women. The heel and style of the shoe shows that comfort is more important to Kathy than being aesthetically pleasing and that unlike Rhys and Lucy appearance is not as important to her. It also represents that Kathy’s role and job within society doesn’t require large amounts of desk work. The buckles and the combination of two materials again represent her personality of being bold and confident but that she challenges normality and is a blend of cultures and stereotypes.  By wearing boots is also portrays Kathy’s youth and exuberance.

The necklace though a small item is crucial in conveying the personality of Kathy to the audience. The first most crucial factor is the colour. Red conveys a variety of emotions and personality traits and this constructs Kathy’s background and personality. One of the most important representations of the colour red is that it symbolises danger, foreshadowing the risk of the location she is in but also enforcing that this is a common problem for her.  Red is also symbolic of passion, and this can connote the eccentricities that Kathy has as a character but also shows that she feels emotions strongly and is effected deeply by them. This helps to give Kathy more layers and interest and helps the audience to contact with her on a variety of levels.  The shape of the design is also vital. A red heart symbolises one with love and emotion something that Kathy doesn’t outwardly display, it also representative of her femininity. The red heart can also be a representation of death, and the blood that will be metaphorically by hers. The style and value of the necklace is different compared to the status and money that the rest of her outfit suggests. The necklace is common, flawed and on a simple chain. This change of theme can convey to the audience that this necklace was a gift or a token given to her by someone else. This apparent love or connection between another human suggests that Kathy isn’t always as reckless and cold and is capable of forming relationships and that she may have one to lose. The relationship theme is reinforced by other aspects of her personality and her costume.

The costume is an important part of representing Kathy as a character. Each item of clothing reinforces her charateristics, the moral as well as the genre of the film. By reinforcing traits and iconic themes of the film in the costumes, it allows for less important dialogue to be removed. Even though these are not the actual costumes pieces for Kathy's characte,r the themes and conventions used will be used in the actual pieces in order to create a vibrant and interesting character for the audience.

Rough Costume Idea - Rhys

The shirt is an important feature of a successful costume. The chest is one of the pieces that draws the audience’s attention to it and is important in representing the characters traits and position within society. The colour of the shirt is crucial when conveying a message to an audience.  The colour white is suggestive of cleanliness which like the character of Lucy is an aspect of Rhys’ personality, also of his career. A white short suggests that they work in a formal setting as it is a piece of stereotypical attire for someone with a high powered role, something the audience can relate too. The fact it plays strongly on this stereotype also conveys to the audience that Rhys has a role within society in which he needs to blend in and does not convey anything personal or interesting in his appearance. This item of clothing has no individual touches or features highlighting the fact that Rhys compartmentalises his personal life and his professional role.

Like the shirt, the trousers and jacket that Rhys wears are important in representing his personality to the audience. Subtle references are often what focus an idea in their minds and can be recalled at a later date. The colour is an important feature symbolising Rhys’ personality. The colour grey is often suggested to be cold and conservative. This feature is crucial to the persona that Rhys uses at work. Unlike both Kathy and Lucy, Rhys makes no attempt to convey his own tastes in his clothing and style of work. It reinforces the notion that he deals with personal situations and work in two very different methods. Grey is also deemed a neutral colour and rarely produces large amounts of emotion, a physical and visual representation of the detached method that Rhys has chosen to adopt. The style of the suit is also crucial. The tight fit of the jacket and the trousers represent Rhys’ youth and despite the fact he has a serious tone and job that he is still very much a young adult. This aspect of his personality allows him to connect with audience who are around the same age bracket and would be able to sympathise with him more.

 Rhys’ tie is also a significant feature of his costume. The position at work that he holds is suggested throughout the narrative and by his costume, would require him to dress formally. A tie is often a stereotypical piece of attire for a professional gentleman. The colour of the tie is also important, as it represents a variety of factors about his personality and background. The deep purple tone is suggesting the mysterious and protected nature of Rhys work. In the film there is no actual mention by name of his role, but the secrecy suggested that is vitally important that it is never discovered. Mystery is also a crucial convention of the horror genre. The colour purple is also an important feature as it represents the wealthy background that Rhys and Kathy come from. Both Rhys and Kathy have expensive clothing and their mannerisms are also representing the background they have come from. It highlights that Rhys now has a lot of power and influence in his life. The style of the tie much like the suit is symbolizing the youth of Rhys as a character and helping the audience to connect with him on a deeper level. The fact that his youth is being exploited showed by his reactions during the narrative, details that it’s an important feature of the game that Lance is playing.

The final item of Rhys’ costume is his shoes.  Like all of the other items of his costume they offer a visual representation of his status and behaviour. The tone of the shoes is a deep black, conveying to the audience his serious and sophisticated style, not only of his outfit but of Rhys overall personality. When this is combined with his other pieces it represents the official line of his work. Shoes like this are stereotypically worn by men in high-powered professions.  The colour black also adds to the interpretation of Rhys being mysterious. Coupled with his career and the fact that there is not a lot a known about him it conveys the nature of his job. The style of the shoe is also important. The heel on the back not only offers extra height, but corrects the line of the foot making it aesthetically pleasing; connoting that Rhys cares about his appearance. The laces on the shoe also reinforce the importance of the strap on Lucy’s. Both of them have to be prepared for possible action such as walking or running. The label on the product also conveys Rhys’ money and status as much like Kathy’s outfit it is expensive and would reinforce that they are of the upper class.

Each of these factors is important in representing Rhys’ character to the audience. It not only reinforces his character but features such as the genre and moral message of the piece. An example of this is the social dram genre that is conveyed by the stereotypical items of his costume, allowing the themes and messages to be followed and understood fully. Although this is not the exact costume that the character of Rhys will wear it conveys the importance of representation that will be carried through into the actual pieces.

Support Characters Profile

One of the supporting characters is named Katherine Miller. Katherine, who is known as Kathy, represents her individuality as well as her lack of conformation in society by shortening her name. By choosing her name as Kathy, it highlights the difference in personality between her and her brother, Rhys; the main character. Kathy is the younger sister of Rhys, and is in her early twenties or late teens, reinforcing the protectiveness that Rhys has over his younger sibling. Kathy contrasts Rhys in almost every aspect of their personality. She is over confident and highly social, making her loud and unique. She enjoys being the centre of attention and doesn’t behave or dress subtlety. By wearing bright colours such as red and purple but often with muted tones, it symbolises the danger and the risks she takes in her life. This references help to reinforce her character to the audience without including a back story or by dialogue. This helps to add depth to the character and makes them easier to sympathise with and to understand, it also represents the temperamental personality she has. Purple conveys her position and social status within society, as both her and her brother are classified as upper class. This is represented by both Rhys’ and Kathy’s clothing. 


Kathy is also very intelligent and this offers her the chance to be as reckless and immature as she is, by not holding down a respectable job or position within society. By detailing this information to the audience by her costume and her behaviour it does not remove attention away from the moral content of the film. This behaviour also helps to convey her lack of emotional ties and her lack of care when considering others. A trait that she believes she shares with her brother. Kathy places importance over her appearance and looks well cared for as well as pleasing, helping her to manipulate people for her own personal gain. Unlike her brother, Kathy has no romantic ties, conveyed to the audience by her lack of wedding ring and her personality that would make this sort of relationship difficult, shown throughout the film to the audience.  


The other victim within the narrative is called Lucy Morgan. Lucy is the colleague of Rhys Moriarty. Lucy is a very average character compared to Kathy the other causality in this situation. Lucy is aged around the early 30’s. This age gives her youth and room for development but also signifies that she has experience and intelligence in her profession. Her appearance relates the importance her career. She is a professional, wearing stereotypical clothes for the unknown career she shares with Rhys. The colours of her costume are greys and dark blues, representing the serious tone and the importance of rising through the ranks of her job. Her personality and youth is conveyed by the accessories that she wears, representing to the audience that no matter how important her career is, she is an individual and has her own personal tastes. Her appearance, such as hairstyle and make up convey her importance and her personality. She is strong willed character, who gives the impression of being emotionally hardened, due to the competitive nature of her work.  She is socially adept and deals with interactions and problems easily. When put in the location of the warehouse, she reacts differently from normal, giving her recognisable human characteristics making her easier to relate too and understand for the audience. Lucy wears a ring around her neck, signifying an important relationship in her life, but as it is hidden by her clothing, shows that work is most vital to her but that she has the ability to love and show compassion.  


Both of these characters help to relate to the social drama that the film is classified in. The two characters of Kathy and Lucy help to broaden the section of society and social groups that the genre can be deemed to use. They offer opinions and stereotypes of humanities existence. They also help to convey aspects of the horror genre as they are both victims of the perpetrator. The characters here are used to convey important genre aspects to the audience as well as to convey the theme of the short film.

Rough Costume Idea - Lucy

Costume is an important factor for representing a character to the audience. The clothing and appearance of a character helps to convey their personality, lifestyle and even their social status. By conveying these factors non- verbally, it gives the audience the ability to become involved with the narrative. It also adds more depth to the characters, making the plot more intriguing and it aids the consumption of the moral message. Costume and appearances also help an audience to relate to characters within a production.

The character of Lucy is a high profile business women and her clothing needs to represent this as well as her personality to the short films audience, without detracting from the theme of the overall narrative. Below are some of the first ideas of the style and colours of the clothing that the character of Lucy should wear. The features found in this articles of clothing are importnat to her character, and will be used and conisdered when producing the actual costume for this character.

This coat portrays a selection of important factors about the character of Lucy. The colour of the coat (Black) conveys the formal tone of her profession and of her personality. The colour allows her to blend into a variety of situations but also represents the authority that she posses. The dark colour also shows how often this coat could be worn, as it would be suitable to wear with a variety of outfits which can convey the importance appearance has for her. The length of the coat is also traditional for heroes and saviours. Long coats are synonymous for representing authoritative characters in a variety of media products. The length of the coat also protects her femininity from being largely apparent, representing how hard she works for an industry that could be deemed predominantly male. The cut and style of the coat are also highly relevant for conveying Lucy’s character. The long black coat is a traditional and stereotypical symbol for power, as are the majority of Lucy’s costume items.This can suggest to the audience the Horror genre of the film, because of the dark tone is possesses.  The cut of her coat offers a small glimpse to the personality that she represses in order to conform to her job description. The detail at the bottom of this coat represents the flare of individuality that Lucy has in her work, conveying to the audience that she is more rounded as a character and has outside interests of her work.

The necklace is simple design and therefore could be worn with a variety of items. The design and colours within the necklace mean that it would suit the professional and formal tone of Lucy’s outfit. The necklace conveys the femininity that is not often shown by Lucy. The design is simple but offers another example of the individuality that Lucy keeps throughout her outfit, showing a small rebellion in a career that needs conformation. The colour hue on the pearl features adds to the clear simplicity that her outfit is designed for. The connotations associated with “Pearls” represent her importance and ranking she has within society and her job. The fact that this design could appear expensive and may not match the rest of her plain outfit, could represent a gift, that conveys that she has relationships in her life. The fact she is capable of emotion, connotes this to that the audience allowing relation to be easier.

Once again a blouse of this design creates the simplicity and the formal features that make up the outfit of Lucy. The colour of this item is vital in conveying information about Lucy to the audience. White often symbolises purity and innocence but another important factor is that it conveys perfection, which is something Lucy holds crucial in her life as well as in her appearance. White is also representational of cleanliness, which is a feature that Lucy could pride herself on in order to achieve her position at work. The white blouse is a common and often stereotypical item of clothing worn by those who work in offices and high powered jobs; by keeping this feature in the costume, it allows the audience to relate to her as a character and offers them the chance to understand her behaviour and actions.  There are also aspects of this item of clothing that convey the individuality that is subtly used in the entire outfit.  The ruffle details on the sleeves and the central seam are the flare of personality that is found throughout her costume. The polka dot details on the blouse are also there to convey a sense of individualism, in what could normally be deemed a bland or uninteresting ensemble worn by many. It helps to create Lucy as an individual character as well as making her easier to remember from the audiences perspective.  

The skirt that helps to create Lucy’s character is a part of attempting to show the normality and the business position she holds. Black skirts and trousers are stereotypical components of professional’s outfits, making it easier for the audience to relate and understand her. The choice of colour in this item of clothing is also important. Black as a colour is representational of elegance and sophistication which are important concepts for a character, which has power and control, such as Lucy. Black is also recognised as a colour that changes the perception of people’s body style. This effect could be seen as important because of Lucy’s femininity but also reinforces other visual interpretations; that she cares about her appearance and the importance it holds.  Another important feature linked to the colour of this costume, is that black can also be interpreted as a colour of rebellion, which a theme running throughout Lucy’s outfit and her personality. This subtle use of colour reference allows the audience to connect with the character on a variety of levels as well as over a period of viewings. By using a skirt it reinforces her feminine nature, as it allows her shape and natural curves to be seen. The skirt also reinforces that this isn’t the most important feature due to its length. The skirt also allows for both genders to connect with the character, as men could see her as a portrayal of a female stereotype and women can see her as an inspiration and admire her. The cut and style of the skirt, is also important to show conformity in the position that Lucy holds, as the style is one that can be worn by many and has no extravagancies.

The shoes are the final piece of costume that helps to give a visual representation of Lucy’s character.  The most important piece of information represented by this feature is her personality and rebellion against the conformist society she faces. The colour of these shoes is purple and therefore represents mystery and royalty. Mystery is a key aspect of the horror genre of this short film and by linking it into the costume, is strengths the importance and knowledge to the audience. Mystery is also an important factor of Lucy’s personality, as specific details are never given; her job and her reasons for being in the location of the film.  The royalty aspect of this colour again conveys subtly to the audience that she is an important character, with high status and large amounts of power.  The height of the heel and the style of the shoes are there to convey her femininity once again. The height of the shoe shows her confidence and ability to walk in them, which can convey that, she does it often. The style of the shoe also conveys that comfort is also important as they can be deemed practical when looking at the type of heel and the strap used. This can also convey that she spends a lot of time, sat or still, due to the height of the shoe. This connotes to the fact that she has authority and importance and has control over others and does not need to partake in activities herself. The material that the shoes are constructed from is also an unusual choice so it represents her individuality, which is referenced to throughout her outfit.

These factors found throughout the costume, are important in conveying Lucy as a character and allowing the audience to connect with her and the narrative.  Each of them is important in representing the genre, an example being the Social Drama that is conveyed by the normality of her costume, making it easy to relate to everyone, but also to important issues that societies can face. By representing personality traits and the moral of the film in the costume it reinforces it in the audience’s minds and also means that important screen time is not wasted by unnecessary dialogue. Even though these are not the actual pieces of the costume, the character of Lucy will wear, the features will be attempted to be replicated, in order to make Lucy as strong and interesting character.

Main Character Profile

The protagonist within my short film is named Rhys Miller. He is a dominant male character and takes the main focus of the film and its narrative. He is a professional and is often deemed inexpressive; his serious nature when dealing with business and his family are crucial to representing this. Even though he is perceived as inexpressive or emotionless, he cares deeply for his family and friends around him; mainly for his younger sister. By hiding his emotions he perceives it at saving his family from the danger his job brings, when in fact it just makes them cold towards him. This character flaw helps to make the audience sympathise and connect with him, making this an important feature. It makes him appear more human, as this is a common trait shown throughout characterisation and in reality. The only expressive features about him are his eyes, making him easier to relate to by adding more human characteristics.

The professional tone of Rhys’ personality is also conveyed and supported by his costume. His clothing is plain and doesn’t contain specific details. The unremarkable nature of his costume, allows him to blend into the background, which is important for his profession but also is a symbol of his actions. His clothes are well fitting, and his appearance is well cared for conveying his importance as well as his status and wealth, these are vital factors in representing his character to the audience.  The colours and tones used within his costume are also important. Dark blues, greys and blacks are used to support his professional stance, but also to reinforce his masculinity. His posture is also important in creating a strong character. He is straight backed and his posture connotes the power and authority he posses. His actions are relevant and considerate, detailing the amount of care and grace he puts into life, helping to support his intelligence and the depth of his personality. His posture is also relevant to conveying how guarded he is, the lines he creates are straight and harsh, but small movements such as the emotive eyes, convey his ability to be sociable. Age is also a crucial feature, the youth of the character, age being between late 20’s- early 30’s shows what should be his innocence but how it is lost, by the cold, harsh life that the character of Rhys posses, helping the audience relate to him.

Due to the fact that this is a short film, development of character is not shown on screen because of the time constraint. It also doesn’t hinder the moral message being conveyed to the audience, by distracting them, Keeping specific details such as his job title and marital status from the audience it doesn’t over load them with information, and keeps the main focus of the audience clear. By representing these facts through visual imagery, such as the wearing of a wedding ring, it conveys there is more about the characters than is shown on screen, allowing more belief in them from the audience, helping the moral messages of the film to come across stronger.

My Short Film - First Idea

The basis of the theme for my short film is about choices. The first concept for my plot is about one character by the name of Rhys. Rhys, works in a high profile job, that is never specified, but has a large amount of security and secrecy that accompany it. Rhys, receives a message informing him to go to warehouse, where he finds his sister Kathy and his business associate Lucy standing on a trap door, both with nooses around their necks. His staff and police are already on scene and inform him that a decision has to be made about who can survive; removing one body, tips the counter weight for the trap door, hanging the other victim. Time is ticking away as he struggles between the decision that will benefit the world (saving Lucy) or the decision that will save his heart (Kathy). Rhys eventually decides to over rule his heart and save Lucy. The end of the narrative, is watching both Kathy's and Rhys' reaction as they both know when the time runs out that she will die. The final moments of the plot are revealed by focusing on the Rhys' face as his sister is killed and the anguish he faces at not choosing to save her.

The extreme decisions that Rhys has to face are exaggerated beyond anything that would occur naturally, but this plot has an important moral message, about the right decisions not always being those which are easiest to make. This narrative, also conveys to the audience the strength of love and bonds between characters. Both Rhys and Kathy are very different in personality and lifestyle choices, but they still care about each other and respect them, an important message to convey to the audience. Moral messages are also an important convention of the short film genre and therefore are crucial within my work.  

Short Film - Idea's

The main focus and thought for my products are those based around morals and important issues that humanity can face. One of these is the concept of choice. Choices are made constantly throughout life and can be difficult and highly important as well as simple and unconsciously done. Consequences and outcomes are not often considered or portrayed, which could become an interesting concept for a short film. Using this as an idea would mean that the short film would relevant for a wide audience and could feature in a variety of genres and styles. Due to the fact that decisions are made all of them time, its importance is timeless and relevant to almost everyone.

Another Idea I have at the moment is of innocence and childhood, in the theme of nursery rhymes and lullabies. These methods of delivering warnings and comforting children are commonly found and make up the basis of the interest in music, reading and comfort of many people's lives. These concepts could easily be manipulated or changed to become threatening or callous in nature and could be interesting to see the uses they could have in changing the perception of the world children have.

Brief - Short Film

The brief that I am considering undertaking is that of the short film and the other two products needed to accompany this; the two I have decided upon are the Radio Trailer and the Poster. The reason behind my decision is that, this brief offers a large range of creative freedom, due to the fact that short films are able to push boundaries and are able to convey strong ideas and moral beliefs to the audience, in a format not often seen in professional films. The short film brief also offers a wide range of choices and decisions to be made at various levels because the genre is not set.

The other two tasks which I am deciding upon is the radio trailer for the film and the poster. The radio trailer allows for various different features and skills to be used as it requires more precision in content and choices in order for it to represent and convey the film successfully. The film poster allows me to use other programmes and skills in order to construct a high quality product, as well as conveying how important colour, typography and imagery are in constructing the film to an audience. The main reason for my consideration of this brief, is the fact that it encourages the use of imagery and imagination of those involved in the production of the short film and the audience that watch it
