Generating ideas for final film

Generating ideas

After beginning to have an idea around what I want to do for my short film I began to complete an idea list.

For my film around dementia I need to look at where I will be recording, my characters, props and trial footage.
Potential Locations:


- Florist - Ragged Robin Florist
- A Home - Potentially mine - however need to adapt to link to the characters I will be using e.g photographs, modern/vintage style
- A Care Home - Windmill House - volunteer here
- Restaurant - Pasta Gusto - work there
- Wymondham - memory sequences, walks around Wymondham potentially the Abbey.

When going to the florist I fell in love with the bold colours of the flowers, the logos and signs in the florist. The people working were friendly and approachable which made me love the place more.

From volunteering at a dementia care home in Wymondham I was able to talk to the manager and find dates for recording.



From working in Pasta Gusto I was able to find times again to record footage. The restaurant fits my ideal setting of recording a meal with an intimate atmosphere.

From the photo bellow of the outside of my house I felt this will be perfect for my recording of the flowers being delivered, the only issue may be parking as I live on a one way street and there is no parking outside my house.


Character Ideas
 
I definitely want to use Nan and Grandad for my film. My grandad has been a camera man on many films, even star wars so his ideas I will greatly take on. However they both live in London, so I may struggle getting them here.


However if I can use them I will dress them in their normal clothes, but have a number of changes to show changes of time.I will keep make up normal and natural too.

Props

I will use their walking sticks as props. I will also use the flowers and the notes attached to the flowers as props too.

Draft Script

Draft Script For my film I intend on using a poem over the top of acting on screen. The poem I want to use is about Alzheimer's. I will also be adding in voice clips from  my characters. The lady will be reading the poem and the man will be reading the notes attached to the flowers and the one at the florist.  The Poem - It's A long Goodbye She’s leaving me, little by little, I wish she wouldn’t go. I will be there as long as she needs me. How do I let her know? I’d like to hold on to the memories. I’d also like to share But she’s further away, getting further away. And yet she’s always there. It’s a long good-bye, and yet I believe that she can sense us. So much time between now and then, when its time against us. There are times she almost seems like herself. Sometimes it’s just a phase. A part of the person I once knew, And sometimes just a trace. It’s a long good-bye and I still don’t know just what to say. There’s so much ...
