Short Film Planning Week 2

I've started working on my short-film pitch.  So far, all I've done is to copy and paste my planning that I've put in to Word and written a synopsis, outlining what the film is about.  The powerpoint presentation won't take that long to do, but I am putting a lot of effort in to designing it and making sure that people get the point of my short-film in addition to understanding why it should be made.

I'm researching further in to locations and I've found some wacky locations to film at, such as funny shaped houses, the smallest house in Britain and other weird locations.  I've completed my list, but I may need to add or take from it as my planning continues.  This weekend I plan to take some photos in the places I plan to go to, for inspiration and to see whether the shots will work.  We have an inset day on Monday, so I'll do it then.  I've chosen the type of music that I want as the bed for the short-film - soundtrack music.  The sample (which I have included in my Powerpoint Presentation) is from the Doctor Who Specials Soundtrack.  I've listened to the entire soundtrack (I'm a big fan of Doctor Who) and chose two which struck me in-particular.

George has agreed to be the boom operator (obviously I can't be the camera man and the boom operator because they're impossible to do simultaneously, both require constant attention - I know, I'm still working solo!) and Jack: I still need to ask him about accompanying me as 'plan b' when George isn't around to accompany me on film shoots. 

Well - time's up for the lesson - says the blinking fire alarm!!
