Ideas

Highly influenced by our research on dystopian films, we wanted our short film to explore the sad side of having a capitalistic government and how being controlled and treated like slaves along with capital punishments can have a massive effect on the public around, suggesting uprisings can develop. This story is based very much of the dystopia and theme of it but it can also leave that relatable sense to it as well.

For example for one of our scene we wanted the final part to have a big impact on the viewers the idea was to have a flower shown at the end featured at first before the final punishment happens that the flower this character has is reflected back to towards the end almost leaving the end scene a cliffhanger to be honest.

It shows the public coming to the realization that they had been brainwashed and that they need to make a stand and that even though they thought they were safe and free they in actual fact not even close to that. The story itself almost relates to the nazi's in a way where the hair is being shaven off along with their pride all stripped way from them wanting to leave an almost Auschwits feel.

And so we created our scene strips to help us keep on track of our story we didn't necessarily believe we would stick to our scene strip but the whole basis of being controlled and dehumanized was crucial and that we tried to capture that the best we could.
