Brain Storm idea 1

The first concept for a short film we had was to do a short film parody of a feature length film. Our first idea was to do a parody of James Bond movie as it is classic and has very obvious themes and conventions so the audience will understand what we are attempting to do. We then thought of a Harry Potter movie this is also a familiar movie to people, it is also targeted at an audience of our age, which will also make it easier as that is the main audience we will be able to distribute to. We knew that these parodies would be too difficult to do as lots of extras will be needed, which will be almost impossible to get or organised. Sets would have to be made and we will be trying to squeeze a feature length film into a short film, which will be almost impossible especially with the budget that we have, we also don’t have the recourse required to this and it would take too long. We then thought we could do a short film parody of a more simple film "8 mile" it might have also dealt with social issues as well, such as people in the lower class struggling to reach their dreams, but faced the problem of people actually understanding the concept because not everyone has seen this movie. So we decided not to use the idea of a parody, instead we said we will keep the idea simple.
