Initial Ideas

Our initial idea was to create a film trailer for a film about a man suffering with OCD. We wanted to be able to see the process of his mental illness, the ups and down, and see him flourish in life to fulfil his potential as a pose to his illness holding him back. To do this, a new friend would be introduced in the form of a neighbour who would help bring this out by aiding him in realising his skills in writing. Our genre would be a drama/comedy with aspects of social realism, reflecting films such as 'Silver Linings Playbook'.

 In order to come up with a story line, we all made a rough storyboard of each of our ideas in order to compare and collaborate in our creative visions of what our trailer would be like. We gave ourselves some rough guidelines, such as having a montage of the character's obsessive routine, as well as them having an impressive skill or hobby in order to also create a positive representation of OCD.

It was pointed out that this was made apparent though the use of camerawork and framing, as well as the more naturalistic and subtle use of colour correction and layering of diegetic audio with appropriate emotive music and voiceover. We also received feedba...
