One shot film

After many difficulties, it looks like my group film will not go underway, but I'll be spending the next few days working on my own separate version. At the moment I have several ideas which need to be further formulated to be usable and have only just decided to go it alone, finally.

My ideas include the typical response to hearing about a "meeting", such as business or board meeting to discuss some situation. I thought a good camera effect would be to zoom in for a dramatic moment, to focus the audience's attention on the main aspect...

But on the other hand, I feel that this is too cliche and 'undercooked'. I then started looking at ideas that involved alternate meanings for "meetings" and I'll have to see where that takes me. Using a one-action film, however, the scene would be limited to expressing one feeling... or so I think right now. With a bit more experimentation with lighting, I might be able to convey more than that, but not go too over the top like some of the older movies seen in the last narratives lecture (13/11/2008) ... I was thinking some colour replacement techniques.

As for roles, since I'm doing this solo, I will need to recruit some volunteers to be actors for me by this weekend. If not, then I'll have to try and do everyone with one or two people. This could be quite a challenge. If I fail, however, Daryl's offered to give me a copy of the footage they took.
