The Idea showcases the struggle of when a writer experiences “writers block.” Several social groups are represented in this short film, both explicitly and implicitly. Students are explicitly represented using costume and the setting of a classroom through mise-en-scene.  Each student is wearing a suit similarly in The Fly (2014) where the representation is made clear using costume with the black leather jacket long associated with gang culture and the setting of outside the bank. However, writers are implicitly represented as creative, the use of props outlines this, as Jacob picks up books related to film and some DVD cases. Continually, Tight Jeans (2008), the short film develops on conventions of representation through similar mise-en-scene construction alongside a lot of dialogue. The Idea challenges conventions of representation through the lack of dialogue, with non-diegetic sound added for the headphones and just a murmur of ambient sound as the class worked.  Over ; whil

THE ROUGH CUT After filming the rough cut, I have decided not to continue with this idea. This is because the idea was far too complicated and did not allow me to explore my creative side. As well as this, new actors will be used, as the ones used in the rough cut did not want to fully co-operate.

Directing Styles The directing style I'm wanting to adapt is the Terrence Malick, as his work comes with a heavy voiceover or narration, sometimes by multiple characters. Using his style, I could have a voiceover of Lisa and then Matt to show the development in their relationship as the short film progresses. As well as this, I've taken Malick's theme of man's struggle with nature, and adapted it to fit my narrative, which is man vs. relationships. Continually, I am very inspired by the Kuleshov effect, by Alfred Hitchcock. This is because this directing style is relatively simple and extremely effective. For example, Lisa will look at Matt and her emotions could be shown by an extreme close up shot. Alternatively, the Kuleshov effect could be used with Lisa's phone, or the sugar sachet - the purpose of this would be to demonstrate the high tension and emotion in the scene (much like the slow zoom in Arrival.)
