Short film planning

short film plan       Genres:  Horror- suspense = instant entertainment, easy to watch. However cannot be to gory or anything as I do not have accesses to SFX however I could do more research into make up effects. Action- would be hard to pull off, could contact local services to get necessary shots. It would be very entertaining and keep audience focus Crime/Mystery- something that keeps audience guessing trying to figure out what's going on, might be hard to do as everything ahs to be very particular, utilises all of mise en secene. Genres I really like: I like comedy films, however for coursework is not a good idea as if i don't make it funny it's an instant fail. I really like the fantasy however for coursework I feel that without a large budget of company support it would fall short of it's intended perpouse.  Short films I'd take inspiration from: Arrival (simple, intriguing/mystery) or The Fly (simple minimalistic, slight thrille

 I asked people that I know what they think of my short film: Here they are: My Nan, Jean: "It sounds very exciting to me! I love the inspiration from fairy tales and the settings idea, being an avid walker myself. I am concerned about how you will manage to get everyone to my house for some of the filming and how long that will take. I can't really think of anyway to improve it as I am not as creative a you." My Mother, Suzanne: "It sounds like you have thought this through very well Holly. I love the ballet inspiration being a fan of ballet myself and love the costume designs also being a sewing enthusiast . I am concerned about how when you get there you wont be prepared with types of shot. I think you should go up their and have a rehearsal first." My boyfriend, Ralph: " I think your short film sounds alright. I'd definitely watch it and I like the inspiration behind it, I am a fan of Tim burton myself. I am concerned about the people not focusing o
