My Initial Thoughts..

My Initial thoughts of the project were great! We get to do a short film, and basically shoot whatever we want within the chosen theme. It lets us as individuals express our personalities and have a bit of freedom with the work instead of being set and stuck on one topic. It also lets us work on the job role we feel most comfortable in,what we are strongest at, and let us build experience in that role.

The theme we got given was 'Dislocation'. When I found this out, I was a bit confused by the topic, and what we could actually film that was in the theme of dislocation. After some research, I have came more to terms of what the project is about. We can go down the route of both fiction and documentary which is a good option, but after recently filming a documentary, I would prefer to go down the fiction road.

Dislocation goes down many paths. We watched a Wes Anderson short; 'Hotel Chevaliar' in class which expressed the theme of dislocation. The two central characters were obviously in some sort of a relationship but aren't together any more. She comes back for one night and says things like 'What ever happens, I don't want to loose you as a friend' but yet wants to have sexual relations with him. This shows the theme of dislocation.
