Initial thoughts.

Having watched a few short films to gather ideas on the styes of short films, I have decided with my partner (Jack Gould), that a short film gives us the possibility to create a fantasy storyline without thoroughly explaining characters. Short film has the advantage of taking an interesting idea and displaying it to the audience in a way where setting, characters and the storyline don't have to be fully explained like you would do in a feature film. Not being prevented by these barriers allows short film directors and writers the opportunity to be more creative. This can include mixing up the narrative, doing something unpredictable,  or leaving the audience to fill in the gaps. This idea of doing something unpredictable and  leaving the audience still guessing at the end of the film is something that appeals to me, and something we wish to incorporate in our piece.
