Drama Project

The brief for this project is to create a 5 MINUTE DRAMA FILM which conveys the notion of ‘JOURNEY'.

JOURNEY

1. a travelling from one place to another, usually taking a rather long time; trip

2. a distance, course, or area travelled or suitable for travelling

3. a period of travel

4. Passage or progress from one stage to another

As a group project, you have the opportunity to be far-reaching and ambitious in a way that you might not undertake in an individual project. However, your project must also be realistic and achievable within the time available to create the work. This is a chance to engage and involve others in your work via cast, contributors, and your fellow group members. It is important to clearly communicate throughout the planning, production and post-production of your project, in order to get things done on time, and at the best of your ability, and to avoid misunderstandings, complications, or bad time management.

You will have:

– x3 WEEKS PRE-PRODUCTION (including 2 weeks in the Easter holidays)

– x1 WEEK SHOOT

– x2 WEEKS POST-PRODUCTION 

PROJECT RESEARCH AND PREPARATION

Think carefully about your chosen approach and research works using this theme.

Some points to think about:

- Suggestion of movement - beginning in one place or state, and ending in another

- Suggestion of narrative

- Is your journey physical, emotional, or metaphysical?

- Is your journey through linear time, or jumps back and forth within time?

- Is your journey in the past, present or future?

- Is your journey personal, or that of another person, object, or thing?

- Think about the notion of quest?

- Think about the notion of pilgrimage?
