Research Into Similar Products

When researching short films I found one in particular which inspired me. It was called 'World's We Created'. It has an interesting plot which is very open to interpretation. I would like to bring this into my piece because it gives an element of audience participation. This is because the people watching can interpret it in their own way and they can therefore use their imagination to get involved in the film. This short film really shows emotion through its use of close up shots and therefore makes the audience involved in the characters as they can sense how they are feeling.

I also got inspiration whilst researching from different areas of media such as video games. I found the camera angles used in various games very interesting. In games such as 'The Last of Us', a variety of camera angles and shots make it seem more realistic and really gets the audience immersed in what is happening which I want in my short film. This game in particular tells a story whilst also getting the player involved. I want this element to be in my piece because although it isn’t a video game I still want to tell a story in a similar sense.

Here are some camera shots I hope to integrate into my piece:

Looking at other products from different media outlets really helped me understand the importance of story throughout the production of media. I also got a lot of shot ideas for my piece so this task was very helpful.
