TVPLAY

Although our film wasn't used on the TVPlay channel which was very well explained and understood by us, I still think it is worth talking about considering the effort and time we put in.

It was an interesting process coming up with the idea I originally put forward the idea of juxtaposing images with the use of Vivaldi's Summer as a soundtrack. I took inspiration for this from the film Force Majeure (2014) which uses Vivaldi's Summer, but on a much larger feature film level. Then we had to think what we would use as content, so Plamen came up with the struggle to thread a needle. Then we had to think of an ending so I came up with the idea of having a wound in his leg that he would sow up instead of the clothing or toy that would be shown throughout the film. Plamen took this a stage further and said why not take the leg off, this would obviously require some prop work which he did himself.

I then put together a quick screenplay heres a couple of page:

This was really just to give us some kind of plan before we shot. 

Then after this we had to go out and buy all the things we needed for the shoot including: a needle and thread, a false leg, a pair of large jeans, innumerable items from art shops and a hip flask.

I think this was all for a good cause though because we have not put it up on TVPlay we have already entered the film into the WaterSprite Film Festival and plan to enter it into 2 more.

Overall really pleased with this piece of work even though it doesn't count for anything. Really think the whole thing came together really well with use of music and editing a key component.
