First Brief

Our first brief of the module is to create a 2 minute long character study in groups.
The character must have a clear emotional need and we must convey this a the main focus.
The film must be an exploratory exercise for our group's main piece which will be a 5-10 minute film centred around the same emotion.

The 2 minute piece must contain no synch dialogue.

For this project I will be part of a group that I have worked with before although for the first time I will be taking up the directorial role.

The other roles will be:

Producer - Paul Phillips
Cinematographer - Lucy Parkinson
Art Director - Tony Thrussell
Editor - Daniel Wild
Sound Design - Joe Walker

As this is my first time directing my main focus is going to be on creating a functional and coherent film and hopefully with the help of my group add our own unique style to the piece.

In my role as director initially I will be helping to develop ideas and then be part of the writing process with the rest of the group. I will then try and help everyone in their specific roles on a creative level (such as location scouting and casting). Before filming I will have collaborated with everyone to have a plan each aspect of the film and the shoot itself and then on the shooting days I will work with actors, control the set and hopefully tell a story using my own vision and the creative input and help of the crew.
