I have decided that I want to do something mysterious and dark, fantasy genre.The idea is to have a woman writing a story, which is a sort of nightmare for the girl involved as she thinks that someone is following her, and she can't recall her memories- which she tries to read in the book. The book is the link from the "present" writing, into the story. I have looked at several films and pieces of poetry for inspiration.I have looked at some of Edgar Allan Poe's works, which I am particularly fond of, such as ligeia, which has helped me to formulate ideas for my concept. I decided that it would be hard to do a version of this as it would require a company of actors and complicated set. I have a limited budget, actors and camera equipment. It was good however for me to read some ideas that were in the genre that I enjoy. I wanted to look at some films that had used a book in their scenes; and which had a darker or fantasy element. I have researched information on Pan's Labyrinth and I looked up the screenplay for Labyrinth which I particularly liked.These various forms of media have helped me in the first stages, as I have struggled to decide on a concept that would be manageable and able to be understood.
- Found an appropriate park with spindly trees, willows and steps which I want in the film, also to film the book part at my house.
- Asked Jess to act in it, told her the concept.
- Found a necklace, book and dried rose of mine to use.
- Talked about times that we could film, the type of clothing she was to wear.
