For my Film Studies coursework I will be making a short film called "Procrastination" that follows the conventions of the comedy genre. I will be writing, directing and editing the piece all by myself, starring Chris Coates & Zoe Lewis. My main inspiration for the work is that of film maker Doug Walker, who does satirical but slow paced comedy films via his own website. The reason why I am using him as inspiration, is because he is well known for making ameteur films, but uses well done cinematography and editing to make his films appear more professional than they actually are.
(To Bodly Flee, 2012, Dir. Doug Walker)
What I am aiming to acheive with this short film is simply to make a well made comedy that at the very least will make people chuckle, seeing as it's a short film it's hard to get a balance between story and jokes, and I am focusing more on story just because that is easier. So I'm not expecting anyone to laugh out loud at this, just not be bored watching.
