in class further thoughts on idea

1. The reasons why the people are killed may be unclear. Also it may not be clear that friend 3 and the main character's girlfriend are having an affair. It will also be unclear whether this is a dream or reality but I want this to be unclear.
2. I need to further develop how I will show each characters personality and individuality. I also need to further develop the scenery to create this irony. I need to further develop the other characters' reactions to the murders.
3. I think I could push the conflict between the main character and friend 3 further. I also should push further on the reasons for the characters getting killed. I should push the idea that the main characters girlfriend and his best friend have secrets together.
4. The overall style of my piece will be randomness, irony, and a feeling that everything is out of place. It will be a silent narrative style film with low lighting and outdoor lighting. I plan on experimenting as much as possible with camera angles. I also plan on experimentally combining suspense and disturbing comedy.
5. I wish to translate a dreamesque quality to the viewer and hopefully make them experience an ironic mixture of emotions. I want the viewer to experience the emotions the characters are feeling. I also want the viewer to wonder if this is reality or a dream.
6. I will achieve this look by using random locations and placing props in the locations that do not belong. Also, the costumes will create a juxtaposition to their surroundings and their actions.
7. My idea is interesting because it shows four friends struggling to be the alpha male and they have no limits to what they will do to achieve this. They appear to not fit in with their environment and their actions contradict how they look. It is also interesting because it is unclear if this takes place in a dream or reality. It also will create a lot of irony by using things that seem out of place such as happy music playing when someone is getting killed, or placing a card table in the middle of an open field.
8. My movie should be made because it seems fresh and unique and it will take the viewer to a strange place in their minds. I believe I can create an awkward story that makes the viewer question every element of the video.
9. I am having problems thinking of a "fancy" place to use for the first scene. I will probably end up making my own set to solve this problem.
10. I am not too sure who will be my crew yet, probably friends in Arkansas.
11. I did not have enough variety in shots, not enough close ups. Also my last video was only in one location, which also made it lack variety. I was not clear enough in instructing my actors and crew. I did not shoot as much footage as I should have.
