LUCID DREAMS BENJAMIN LESLIE JOHN PARKES ROBERT SIMON THOMAS WOOD

Brief Synopsis ,[object Object],[object Object]

Forms and conventions of media products In our piece, we challenged many moving image conventions: ,[object Object]

Linear narrative: Unlike a lot of films, we didn’t keep to a linear or strict narrative, as we felt it would be more interesting to let the audience interpret in what order the film would actually have been in. This tests Todorov’s theory of narrative. We also introduced a doppelganger, of X being very happy in his imagination, whilst in real life, everything that he’s done to find the girl he loves is being rewound and undone, with him eventually getting hit by a car.

Drugs: We addressed drugs in our film, which is often considered to be a taboo and rather controversial topic, though we did it in a way that demotes them by killing the main character because of an overdose. Nice. ,[object Object]

Representation of social groups ,[object Object]

The fact that he takes drugs to take away the pain of being in love shows our generation/social groups (16-24) unwillingness to face facts that sometimes things don’t always work out for the best.

It also highlights and addresses the youths fascination with the wrong kinds of drugs, and how when used in the wrong way, they can lead to serious and often fatal consequences. ,[object Object]

To be distributed, we’d imagine it would fit well with Film4 or Channel4, as they always keep a keen eye for short films and also, the matters addressed are features that would fit better on C4 rather than the BBC or itv.

Audience-wise, it’d somewhat be aimed at 15-24year olds, as the main characters are of that age and therefore, there’s a sense of identification between the audience and the characters. Content-wise, there is nothing graphic nor suspecting that would make it unsuitable for children. ,[object Object]

We learned how to use the Sony DCR-VX2100, an overall more technologically advanced and professional camera, compared to last year where we only used a basic Handycam. The trail effect on the camera proved particularly useful to show intoxication, and for general point-of-view shots. ,[object Object]
