-“Good idea – if it comes out right”

-“Where will it take place?”  

 It will take place in a variety of places. First of all it will take place in the airport where the main character will arrive, then it will move to the taxi scene where the main character will get in to a fight with the taxi driver, then the taxi driver will drop off the main character to ‘Liverpool street station’ so that we can film our fast paced scene in order to empathise the isolation in which he feels as a person who is not from the country.  Then the main character will get on a bus which will take him to Stratford, in which the main character will end up at the Olympic park however he will find that he is too late.

-“What stereotypes will you be picking up on?”

We will be exploring the common day to day stereotypes that take place in today’s modern day and society which will be ‘Indian’ and ‘African’ stereotypes which will be a main factor in our comedy scene.

-“Maybe you could have an Indian guy that meets an African woman”

Thank you for inputting this idea and we feel that this could work within our short film. This idea would fit in perfectly and it would help to mix the different themes and stereotypes a lot easier than we had previously planned.

-“Don’t understand how you are going to mix the different themes”

The different themes will blend together in a scene that will show the main character being interested in an African woman.

-“Are all the different themes going to be merged together?”

Yes, they will be blended together throughout the short film in various parts and scenes as I have discussed above.

-“I find it confusing”

At first, it does sound confusing however, like great comedy shows that have been the nation’s favourite such as ‘Mr Bean’ are confusing at first.  Nonetheless it works because of the nature of the program as we plan on using non diegetic sound to try replicate the effect that ‘Mr Bean’ had on its audience.

-“Won’t it be difficult to do as a short video?”

Well, it sounds very difficult however to us we beg to differ. In out ours as a group, we see it as a very simple procedure, the only difficult task would be getting the actors which will take part in out short film. We’ve given it some thought and for the time being, we have decided to ask some other students from the ‘performing arts’  section of college but if nobody offers to help us out, then we will be using some of our friends in order to help us out with the short film.

-“Too many things to do within 4-5 minutes”

Well, at first it does sound like a lot of work to do to put in to a 5 minute short film however after careful planning we don’t see how it wouldn’t fit in to the concept as we planned it to just about fit within the 5 minute time limit.

-“Could be a funny short film”

We agree as we are going for the comedy aspect, this makes a great impact on our decision on keeping the story line or not because now we know that this idea could work as a short film we will keep looking for more ways to improve our short film.
