About a week or so before our halfterm it became apparent that our original idea of a gangster mafioso Tarantino like conversation was going no were. So i sat George and Tom down and managed to convince them to allow me to come up with a new simple narrative (little to no violence was required i swear) taking inspiration from 'Wristcutters A Love Story', i wanted to create a simple but shocking introduction on the theme of suicide (cheerful i know), the scene from which i based our film around can be found here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXt_dlmUnNE after showing tom and George this intro they became as interested in the new narrative as i was (or they just wanted to shut me up, still not completely sure on which). We sat down as a group and many arguments, sushi and Marilyn Manson videos later we came up with our introduction.
We choose our actor and only character Luke who we picked due to his(and don't tell him this) rather average appearance in which he looks like he could be an anybody, therefore making his suicidal nature even more unexpected, alongside this it makes it far easier for the audience to relate to him, rather than some strange demented wild haired, skinny, winkle-picker wielding monstrosity(you can guess which of the two i preferred, alas the others were right and so i backed down)
Luke will be walking down a dark path, cutting to the suicidal scenes taking place in his mind, going back and fourth, Luke would eventually emerge from the path swathed in light (oh yes i forgot to mention everything will be in black and white fading to white at the end) the reasoning behind this is that his violent thoughts allow him the escapism required to get through the mundane of everyday life, and what ever dark events have caused his mindset (however to find out what events you will just have to watch our finished film)
We are yet to decide on the soundtrack, i would like to use something similar to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39kuAiz6ENA# which was used as the main song for the film 'Max Payne' here is a link to the film on IMDB http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0467197/
However i beilive that George is currently working on our soundtrack using garageband, but just to be safe i will spend a few hours sifting through 'Freeplay Music' a website which provides free uncopyrighted music, heres a link to the songs i am searching through now, i am searching for a cinematic industrial metal song at the moment but with little success http://www.freeplaymusic.com/search/category_search.php?t=s&i=86.
congratulations to anyone who managed to read all of that without going off to commit your very own suicide out of boredom(however if you feel it is necessary please film it as it could be very helpful for our film)
As you can most likely guess from reading this blog it was I, the mighty Jake who wrote this.
