Initial Ideas
Original Idea
A short film based on the idea of creatures called ‘Devas’ (fairies) that live amongst real people but move so fast that they cannot be seen. The theme of the short film is that these ‘Devas’ cause mischief and are responsible for small unexplained events.
In the film time is slowed down to reveal the ‘Devas’.
The basic plot outline :
The story revolves around a young couple and how the ‘Devas’ play pranks to annoy and scare the couple.
Opening:
Back Story to the ‘Devas’ being expelled from Heaven by God and that generally they live away from humans but every so often the most mischievous can't resist entering our homes and playing tricks on us.
Middle:
The couple begin to suspect they have a ghost or some sort of unknown being living in their house which again the ‘Devas’ play on to scare the couple.
End:
The outside ‘Devas’ arrive to capture the mischievous pair and return them to their rightful place.
Characters
The idea is to keep characters to a minimum there will be the couple who will be played by real actors and the ‘Devas’ who will either be CGI (computer generated Imagery) or actors on a green screen. A much more detailed profile of actors and plot will come after test shots and script development.
Backup Ideas
The reason for the backup idea was in the outcome that the fairy sequences in the short film would be too time consuming to create and would not be possible in the time allocated.
Slackliners
A short ducumentary looking into a new activity of attaching a slackline to two trees and then performing tricks on them.
James and Ben’
A short film about two brothers having a conversation/ argument as one of them is a heroin addict.
The premise is that Ben is in fact dead and James is talking to himself this becomes evident to James when he is taken back to the scene of his own death in the house from an overdose. The film ends where t it begins and the whole film begins again almost as if Ben is in some sort of Jericho.
