After discussion with all the relevant tutors, I have established and got underway with the most important part of my year - my two main projects.
My client project will be a short fictional film directed by myself, with the client being a hybrid of Deborah Tuck (my tutor for this module) and a short film competition I endeavour to enter the film in. The rules of the competition will essentially form my 'client brief,' with additional input/requirements coming from Deborah.
My main priorty is working on my script, as I hope to direct something I have written myself, however, this is not essential, but merely a personal preference. I am working on polishing up a script now, and with feedback from Jools (a multimedia tutor with script-writing experience) and Deborah, I will determine whether it is more prudent to use my own script, or one from a third party.
Once this decision is made, I will be able to move forward to choosing a competition and tailoring my script of choice to its requirements
For my research project, I will be doing a study of chronology in film story-telling, and how it affects all areas of audeince reception, e.g. perception of character.
I am immensely excited about this as it will overlap in a higely beneficial fashion with my ongoing reading about the art of writing and directing, but also because it should set me up to make some interesting, entertaining and thought provoking artefacts in term 2.
One early idea is to make a short film containing a set of scenes, that the viewer chooses to watch in any order they wish using a DVD selection menu, and then get feedback from test viewings to see if viewers found this to be a more engaging, enjoyable or interesting viewing experience than traditional linear films.
