Title Sequence: I need to think about what i would use within my title sequence as it is important in setting the tone for everything else that is going to be included. I need to think about what the title of the film is going to be, the colour and tone of the sequence, the use of sound (whether it is ambient music or artificial music), the use of editing to compose thright atmosphere and mood, setting the scene with an opening shot that will effect the entire film.
Narrative: The idea of a short film is that it is short this means that the narrative must be effective and short, writing from experience will assist in making the narrative flow as it provides a story that is closer to reality. Ensure to re write the narrative over and over to ensure that the narrative is effective and suits it's purpose. Ensure to keep the story line as close to real life as possible this engages the audience more as they are able to take aspects of it and compare it to their life or conventions they may already have about real life. When thinking about narrative it is also important to make a genre for it, this is because all successful films are able to be sorted into a genre, e.g. star wars can be put into sci fi.
Planning: When thinking about how i will plan the video i will need to use various different techniques. First to generate mood boards to generate thoughts about what it is i want to make my video about, also narrative of the video, the location of the video, the lighting, the hardware i will use, what software i will use to edit the video etc.
Jake, please use all of these ideas in your pre-planning stages...also, you need to use more jazzy presentational skills in your blog. See the links down the side of my blog for inspo! :)
