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.)

What is meant by the term, 'setting'? The term setting outlines the surroundings of the actors that are being filmed. For example, in opening scene of PRIDE (2014), the setting is on the streets of London, UK. Despite this, there are two types of setting, and these are 'constructed' and 'natural.' The 'constructed' setting is usually known as a 'set,' which is the most common type of setting used in cinema. For example, in the opening scene of ET, the setting used is a 'constructed set.' These constructed sets were the only option for directors before the French New Wave (1960's) when only constructed sets were able to be used in film. What settings do you want to use in your video? The settings I want to use are a cafe and a train station platform. The settings are in a close proximity, as the train station is connected to the cafe. This would allow the film to have a sense of fluidity and this would attract the audience as the
