First Look

I learned of my task to create a video involving a characters movements through a doorway, crossing a room, sitting down in a chair and then talking in dialogue to another character. This sequence could be part of a trailer or any other type of film providing that the film contained these shots.

My first thought was to make a trailer however the drawbacks could be having to put more thought into the naming of titles and alot more editing to do with sound. However the advantages in terms of learning for the upcoming bigger project creating a real designed and planned trailer etc, this exercise is integral and beneficial to that development.

I believe I will create a video that evolves around one main character , undecided as to who exactly will play that part as casting characters and similar things such as props and music arent things that you can snap and suddenly decide. I will decide these things over time ready for my next double lesson.

However my initial thoughts are having one character that is unlucky, loves the social side of life however isnt quite developing into the man he wants. He wants to be the man, the young good looking gentleman who is demand. Its not quite happening for him though and several things will be represented as working towards his unlucky and downbeat character.

Such as :
A mum still wanting his child
Some poor thoughts off his friends behind his back
Girls not really being interested in him
Struggling to keep up with the work load

All of this will lead to the trailer of 'Poor Old Chap' which implies certain maturity and a general sense of negativity and bad luck.
