Project Proposal

My Project for this year will be a short film that is centered around my local train network, the Tyne and Wear Metro. I have chosen this service as it is something I know very well and should be easily accessible to me and any others used in the making of the film. Most of the film will be based on experiances that I and others who have used the metro over the years have had, in order to make the film more authentic and seem like something that may have actually happened. I have also decided to do this because it is something that i cannot find an alternative to, and is completely unique. I found it hard just to find a video that showed the inside of a carriage, so it really is a new idea.


This is a basic plot I have so far.
It is a rainy day, and a girl gets on to the metro. It is dark and gloomy outside (weather permitting on the day of filming. The girl quickly gets bored and starts to nod off. We then have a 'wibbly' effect on the screen, and we get to see into her dreams, where she recounts events from the metro, such as a fight, a huge argument, a funny event, or even a smelly person sitting next to her. This process repeats with the girl falling asleep and waking up until she hears the tone for her stop and gets off. we then do a long shot from the ground as she walks away from the station.

I know this sounds quite basic and bear and as of this point this is exactly what it is, however I should be coming up with more detail to add soon.
This post has been made in order to track the process of my product, going from idea to reality.
