Ideas:

After watching Requiem for a Dream, I really wanted to try my hand at quick transitions and maybe a montage of some sort. I especially like the breakfast scene with Sara in the film, so I thought that maybe I'd quickly try recreate something similar.
I touched a little on this in my mind map, although it's not all that clear;



So, here it is;


That's me doing the voice-over too, ha.
I also got some feedback on YouTube (thanks, Ron):

"Good start there, I can see how it would be on the start of a trailer, but not sure where the story is going."

He's right. I can't really see where the story is going at this stage, but I'm glad I developed the idea. Now it's not rattling around in my head, and I know how much effort it can be to sync the image with a voice-over, and sound effects, which I had to record separately on my video camera.

So, back to the drawing board. I think I want to stay away from drugs and addiction, as making them convincing is pretty difficult. There's nothing as cringey as a group of kids pretending to be high.

  1. Your welcome, hope you come up with more ideas. I still think this can be used or modified. Something different, but in the same way if that makes any sense.

  2. Yes, I strongly advise staying away from drugs, alcohol and guns - always looks really amateurish. You've got a creative mind use it!
