Once I had actors in mind alongside a pretty basic storyline, the next step had been to explore other aspects such as the location.

POST 3 - Initial Research: Genre

GENRE Genre Theory - Daniel Chandler: "Conventional definitions of genres tend to be based on the notion that they constitute particular conventions of content (such as themes or settings) and/or form (including structure and style) which are shared by the texts which are regarded as belonging to them." The two videos had been initial research into genre. Both videos gave an understanding of the different genres within film and it gives examples from movies which makes it easier to understand. Basic film genres - Drama Comedy Horror Action/ adventure Animation World Sci-fi Musical War/ historical Crime Documentary Family All genres have sub genres (genre within a genre). They combine or share of elements or characteristics of multiple genres. Sub-genres seen inevitable that films are ever changing and evolving - and they are likely to not stay the same.

POST 6 - New Film

THE NEON DEMON (2016) DIRECTOR: NICHOLAS WINDING REFN I chose to watch this film over the summer as I have enjoyed many movies directed by Nicholas Winding Refn, including 'Drive' and 'Only God Forgives'. I have heard of this movie before and remember the trailer that came out in 2016, I felt that after studying aspects of cinematography that this would be a film that manages to capture aesthetically pleasing frames, with the use of vibrant colours, notoriously used by Winding Refn.

This includes a lengthy summarisation of the word 'Rigmarole' - the name of my film, and some smaller aspects of the main characters life in the beginning of the short film. Overall this monologue, unedited and not dragged out is three minutes long. Before writing my final script, the first step had been to research original stories and also look back at the short films studied, specifically arrival with its monologue/ narration over the shots of her sitting in a cafe. This screen shot shows how I have looked at multiple short film scripts, shown on google images. MAIN CHARACTER MONOLOGUE – I would say I had a pretty normal childhood, two parents, a bed to sleep every night, movies to watch, videogames to play. I started noticing that I didn’t care about anybody else, I noticed this when my dog had died, and I witnessed somebody drown, and
