Recently my group has been discussing different ideas for a potential short film but it has proven to be harder than we thought. We have already decided previously that we wanted to do a short film that includes aspects of indie type films and post modernism. We struggled to find the right balance of both elements while also focusing on making a story that will be interesting through the length of the film. We had to make sure the idea was entertaining but still had a deeper underlying message that drives the themes of the film. After a good bit of thinking, one of my partners Ryan came up with a great idea that we think would be worth looking more into.
The basis of this short film idea was the idea that people should strive to be "the main character" of their own lives. This theme would be the main underlying message throughout the film and be what the audience would walk away with. While the whole story isn't fully developed, the main idea would be that there are two characters who throughout the film would fight with each other to gain the main character status.
While it is a good start, the idea is sure to change drastically as we discuss more over the coming days and weeks. The core idea is a very interesting concept that I feel would make the film unique and stand out against others. Its a perfect opportunity to play around and experiment with alternative narratives and create a piece that is both entertaining, yet innovative.
