Changing my production

Changing music video to short film: After discussing my synopsis in class it became apparent that my idea for a music video would better suit the role of a short film. However the image I had for a music video was clear but I could not fit that idea and image to a song. Due to this I concluded that I should use a short film to present my ideas. Although while another member of the class gave their pitch I could imagine more scenes for their synopsis than I could for mine so we decided to collaborate on one idea as it seemed most logical as we both felt we could develop the idea of an Americans conflicting view with Britain easier in a short film. Due to this the analysis and research has now changed to focus more on a short film rather than a music video. Despite this we did initially feel that we could use a documentary to show this culture clash but we then came to the realisation that Alessandro, who I collaborated with and is also the main character because of his American background, has lived in England for a year and if we were to follow his day to day life it would be more consistent with a normal English persons. Therefore we needed to use scenarios and exaggerate the differences between cultures to show our message, because of this the film would have to be scripted and therefore wouldn’t fit the concept of a documentary which is real life and unscripted so instead we came to the conclusion to use a short film.
