Depict Evaluation

What was the task?

Our task was to create a 90 second short that could be entered into the Depict competition. We were put into groups of 4 and we had to create an idea, story board the idea, fill out other pre production documents and create a film. We had to make sure our film was suitable for people to watch and followed all the rules on the Depict website which we checked before starting.

What was your idea?

My group all started brainstorming ideas straightaway by story boarding and discussing amongst ourselves. We all agreed that we wanted our film to have a deeper meaning and be more focused around a real world problem. We decided the most relatable thing would be to focus on the idea of being lost and not really knowing yourself fully which everyone in the group agreed on as it had had an impact on all our own lives in some way. We decided that we didn't want it to be the main focus of the film though as we didn't want it to be too depressing. We thought the idea of having someone 'lose their reflection' would work well and so decided to expand it further and have someone literally 'turn invisible'.
