Genre: I believe the genre I have
opted to use is action. My reason for this is because I feel I am most confident with the genre. Having said that, I also watch a lot of
comedy/horror films, therefore I am suited to these genres. With this, I also
feel that the type of conv0entions and codes are relatively easy to follow.
These span from the characters, the props and the locations.
Film title: The Strangest
Short Logline: After facing numerous struggles at home, a
teenager runs away from home and takes himself to a forest. After visiting the
forest, he encounters one of the strangest looking men he has ever seen, the interrogator.
Key characters: Micky (Mitchell
Dempsey) Darren (Luke Taylor) The Interrogator (Josh Pool).
In the short film, Micky runs away from home after facing a series of troubles with his family. Once he leaves his dad, Darren, attempts to find his son and return him home safely. However, everything he sets out to do fails. Micky leads into the woods as he attempts to get as far away as possible from his home. Once he delves further into the woods, he sees every person’s biggest fear, the interrogator. Once he comes across the interrogator, he is subject to a chase from the interrogator. Once the interrogator catches Micky, he kills him and leaves him flat on the floor in the woodland. It is at this point his father finds him after trailing through the forest.

The location of this short movie will
be in a variety of places. These places will vary from a woodland to a messy
bedroom, as to where Micky escapes to and from.
For the costumes, Micky prefers to
wear tracksuit. Darren is in a wheelchair and the interrogator is masked, with
long hair and scruffy looking facial hair, this is to make him loom as scary and
intimidating as possible for the short film.
Script
(Darren comes to check on Micky, and
wake him up for school. He then finds out he has gone missing)
Darren: What… what’s going on? Where
is my son, where is he?
Darren: What am I going to do about
my son?
(Skips to Micky running into
woodland, and mumbling inaudible words to himself)
Micky: Christ, I’m so happy I
finally got out of that house. I can finally live my own life without my
parents shouting at me all the time.
Micky: God knows how I’m going to
cope out here in all fairness, anything is better than being stuck inside that
house.
(Darren goes searching and looms in
the woods for his child)
Darren: Son, son. What are you doing in here? Where have you been all this time... what have you been doing?!
Micky: I'm sorry I'm sorry, i didn't mean for this to happen. i got lost on the way to school, I didn't mean to run away.
Darren: No, I'm not having any of it, no chance. You're grounded for a week. No, in fact i take that back, you're grounded for a month until you learn to not do this again. No xbox, no mates, nothing, until you learn your lesson.
Micky: No, no. That's unfair please don't, it was a mistake.
i plan to shoot my film across varies weeks, on Mondays and Tuesdays. with this i hope to shoot in a woodland area for the son to run into (as he runs away from home).
With this, i plan to shoot in a woodland and in a suitable room for a bed on Mondays and Tuesdays. for Monday's, i would be shooting from the times 10-13:15, whereas on Tuesdays, i would be shooting from 15:30-17:30. For the room where a bed is required, i believe i will shoot in the VPA building, or in a room in a different building on site.
