First Meeting for Project

The first meeting between my 'meeting group' of Keeley, Chelsea and I, consisted of us discussing genre for our upcoming genre essay. I wasn't sure what to label my film as, and so we discussed general conventions for different genres to see which genre my film would fit into.
We then came to a conclusion that my film would fit into the genre of fantasy. This wasn't deemed as a solid genre though. But my film contained all of the elements that fantasy films supposedly did, and so I decided that I would label my film as a 'fantasy', and use elements that appear throughout fantasy films as similar elements used in my film sequence.

Film Studies Brief

My film studies project is to produce a short film or a sequence from a film between 3:00 and 5:00 minutes. For my film, I am producing a sequence from a full movie as I find with this I can include lots of stylistics to convey a meaning which may hint at things happening later in the film. Also, I am planning on focusing my sequence around the disruption stage of my film, so that I can write how it fits in with the rest of the film.
Another plus point for doing a film sequence rather than a short film I find, is that I'm not restricted to filming a full narrative that will both entertain audience's and convey meaning in less than 5:00 mintues. Instead, I can do both of these, plus use longer camera shots if appropriate to convey meaning and not worry about overlapping the 5:00 mins restriction time.
So along with my film sequence, I need to produce a synopsis, script, and storyboard etc and anything else appropriate, so those will be in the next stage of my planning.
