1. Research into existing, professionally made, short films

Watching short films Operator: By the title of this short film, I expect that it may be relatively tense. I think that there will be one main character, who is the operator, and they may be controlling something very important. These expectations were relatively right, it was about a call operator for the fire service, they were directing a very stressful call where a woman and her child were trapped in a burning house, waiting to be rescued. We were focused on the operator the whole time and despite the fact that she sounded like she was staying calm throughout, we could see on her face that she was worried herself. As the short film ends, the phone call cuts off and she moves straight onto a new phone call, without finding out the end of the traumatic experience. I found this idea for a short film to be very creative as it challenged how with generic film, the audience are focused on the location where all the action is whereas here we are the other end of the phone c...

However once venturing down a cave, he discovers the truth about why the ecosystem is so great.

Ideas for the film Narrative Plot Synopsis: The beginning of my film will show the morning routines of my two characters (a rich man and a homeless man) It will cut between the two characters doing different things e.g. getting dressed, and having a drink. With each different part of there routine, I will have something which set's the two different characters morals apart. When the characters go for a drink, the rich man will have run out of juice, which makes him clearly angry that he has to drink tap water, but then the homeless person will happily drink out of a dirty water bottle. These two scenes happening one after another will show to the audience that the rich man does not appreciate how lucky he is to have his standard of life. One other key point in the story is that we see the homeless man count his money, and although there is not a lot there, he is very happy about it and leaves with the money to go to the shops. As the rich man leaves, we see that he leaves ...
