We used Canva to write down all our ideas onto a an A3 format which is clear and simple to use. We will keep looking back to the mind map whilst creating our own piece, this will make sure we are always keeping on the correct tracks, for example reminding ourselves what a thriller should contain.
We then created a more in depth mind map which is much more specific. We have summarised the plot, named all the locations and probs that will be involved, the characteristics of our characters and also the type of genre we are exploring. We found mind mapping all our ideas out very helpful as it prevents us from forgetting any ideas we had.
When creating this idea we came up with the title of our Short Film, Happy Life. We chose to name our film Happy Life as it is very ironic as the main character is severely depressed and going through a lot emotionally and with his best friend.
When it comes to props, we are going to use a MacBook so we can film the two main characters on FaceTime with one another, the computer is significant in our Short Film as it shows what the friendship is like between the two characters an dhow they communicate to one another.
OUR UPDATED VERSION
We have completely changed our final Short Film idea. We have now chosen to do a supernatural based film. Our current plot, follows a young teenage girl who wakes up seeing her family portrait in the background everyday. She then notices people are disappearing one by one from the image.
However, we have included a supernatural element into this, we have used inspiration from many films such as 'Back To The Future'.
We are planning to include many enigmas codes. Engimas Codes to entice the audience in and help move the the narrative on. For examples; a black silhouette of a man who is watching her sleep, this man could be her father. Another element, is when a the teenage girl is reading a book then a man comes up close behind her and whispers "Hello, Alice" making her jump up not looking behind and locking her door, shots of her panting and scared for her life, this will create suspense and ambiguity.

Excellent. Your short film development went through many stages and your Production Team worked very hard experimenting with ideas, refining the narrative and planning how to create menace and enigma.
