AN IDEA FOR OUR FILM

For this idea we combined 2 pieces of research being "Lovefield" and "The Empty House" and came up with this idea.

The story follows a seemingly depressed 18 year old male leaving a friends house saying, "see ya mate", the friend replies "happy birthday see you soon". The camera follows him on various parts of the journey home, with P.O.V shots of someone following him behind, the objective for this is to build as much tension as possible and to create the illusion that the protagonist is in danger.

As he arrives home he see's his front door ajar and his belongings strewn across the floor. "oh shit", he immediately thinks his house has been burgled, he cautiously enters his home and hears a noise coming from the living room, he grabs a bat and approaches the room. By now the suspense will be at its peak, he slowly turns the door handle and swings the door open. "SURPRISE", a look of relief crosses his face as he realises he has been thrown a party.

The film Lovefield shares comparison to ours in the sense that the illusion of one thing is contradicted near the end. The empty house story gave us an idea for the setting and tone we want to create. The style we have in mind for the film is a realistic documentary style, perhaps taking the shape of the Dogme 95 style.
