Drama Planning

In this weeks session we agreed on a treatment put forward by Baily. 

The synopsis is that 3 people move into a university flat together however the main character, who is a bit of an introvert, struggles to form relationships with the other two who quickly become good friends without him. This results in his mounting anxiety as his social awkwardness around the other two flatmates gets worse. The film will also be set in the 90s to give it an extra creative flair and aesthetic look. This will also veer it away from hopefully not looking too much like a generic student film.


As it's Baily's idea he will be writing and directing it. The rest of the crew is as follows:

Producing - Joel Young
Cinematographer - Amy Smith
Editor - Tom Wilson
Sound Recorder - James Swallow
Sound Design & Editing - Peter Simison (me)

I had an idea that we could use Lynch style audio editing to reveal what's going on inside the main character's head. For example, we had an idea that he would be sat inside his room while there is a party going on downstairs. At first you here the muffled sounds of the party through the wall and then the sound of what's going on in his head will sweep in. It will be a claustrophobic, white noise style sound that will reflect the crippling anxiety going on inside his head.
