Statement of written intentions

My main goal for the production is to successfully produce a short film which combines stop motion animation and live action film. The narrative will be focused around the attempted escape of objects that are normally lifeless.

I want to experiment with lighting to create the atmosphere. The lighting will be dark and the only source of light will be unnatural; either from the mobile phone of side lamp. I hope this will achieve a slightly sinister feel to the situation.

I want to use setting to create a realistic feel to the film. The film will be set in a bedroom which is cluttered and quite dim. The setting will be realistic so the audience fell that nothing out of the ordinary is about to happen.

In order to successfully create the short film I will experiment with stop motion in my production exercise. I will experiment by moving usually non moving objects around, using stop motion to bring them to life and create continuous action. There will be a basic narrative where the objects are taking part in a race. I have chosen this narrative so that I can get an idea of how many shots are needed to create a film with a certain time limit. I will also use the production exercise to experiment with the movement of the objects and how it will be pieced together.

My production would fall into the fairytale genre as the idea of objects moving was inspired by the genre. However it will be quite sinister rather than magical.

I will use stop motion to bring the characters to life in a realistic way, rather than using something like rostrum animation where each frame is drawn by hand. Using stop motion will create a very different feel than 2D animation and make the audience react differently. Using stop motion will allow the audience to connect with the characters and get more involved. The 3D animation will make the film more believable.
