1. My idea was to invoke the idea of day-dreaming. It was inspired by films such as 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty', 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' and 'Birdman' which all feature scenes where characters cut into day dreaming without any indication until after the day dream is over. While the Film 2 assignment was to draw from an actual experience, I thought it would be more interesting to elaborate something that everyone does day to day on a regular basis. Although we didn't go for this idea in the end, I really see potential and have written a script for it so that I can make it at a later date.
2. The next idea our group came up with involved death and mourning. The set up was that we saw a character clearly mourning over the death of someone however thw twist was that it was a mundane entity such as a plant or a fish. Out of the three, I liked this one the least for two reasons. The first is that it was hard to flesh out enough to fit the running time the film had to be. The second reason is because it was too similar to a previous film I had made for a former module with the idea of a mundane thing's death.

3. Our third idea, and ultimately the one we picked, focused on a student who had invited his friend on a date with the intention on confessing his love to her. The main inspiration we use for this is from the film 'Whiplash' where Andrew breaks up with his girlfriend in order to pursue is drumming career. We picked this scene to draw from because of the way that it was shot as it kept the focus solely on the two people involved through the use of close ups for reactions and long shots just to have both in shot. I loved the idea already as it felt the most relatable out of the three choices and therefore would be easier to write and have the audience relate to.
