PRODUCTION DIARY WEEK 1:- A CHANGE OF HEART


When I first found out that I had to make a short film for my A2 media coursework, the two genres that popped into my mind were horror and science fiction. I believed that I would be creating a short film on one or even incorporating both genres; therefore I did a little research to find suitable examples by previous students (my previous post on film inspirations). However, after putting more thought into it, I decided to gain authorship and produce a film on religion. I felt that this will be the most appropriate direction to go in because as I am a Muslim, misconceptions of the ethics and morals of Islam is a topic I currently identify with. My main reason for choosing this topic is to produce a film on current issues around the world and presently Islamic misconceptions and Islamic extremism rises above many other issues on news networks. I do realise that this is a delicate topic which must be presented with absolute perfection and rid of any naivety and I consider this a challenge. In the upcoming weeks, I will be doing research on different branches concerning this topic, after which I will be producing production notes, scriptwriting and writing and essay on film inspiration analysis.
