Pre-Production... The Start

After receiving a script entitled Shoes and reading it, our group decided that we didn't like it. However, as we had to base our film on it we decided to keep the concept of desire.

In the script a girl wants a pair of shoes and ends up stealing so that she can get them. To begin with we explored the darker side of desire, of which the most extreme was a pedophile lusting over children. Luckily we stopped ourselves, and brainstormed more light hearted ideas! This resulted in a concept about a film crew who don't have a camera, so the camera man has to go off to get one, bringing back cameras that aren't fit for the job, such as a web-cam and a Polaroid. Me and Luke then both wrote our own scripts, which came back strikingly similar in terms of plot line, except mine included an introduction of the characters.

We merged our scripts together, including the opening as we felt that it would build suspense which would create a juxtaposition from the rest of the light hearted film.
