A MILLION THINGS TO DO:





So this week has been a bit like the last - insane! It's only been a week and I feel like deadlines are creeping! I've been working on my pitches HARD OUT this week, we're set to pitch on Tuesday.  I'm so nervous! My number one song is Hold On, written by Sophie. My concept for this is show the evolution of a child and its reliance on its mother until the roles reverse and it is the child's turn to look after the mother. I want to start out with a small child and its mother holding hands, the child facing usual childhood issues like falling over and scraping a knee, and then slowly progress through ages until we reach teenage years where the child will face the usual teenage issues, like the first heartbreak. Each time the mother is there to console her child and make the child feel at ease about the situation going on around it. Once we reach the middle of the film i want to show Sophie performing, or even just a "jam session" - as she puts it. To me this illustrates to the audience that she held on and reached her dreams - or even just her reflecting back on memories. Then we see her mother - not in a good way - old and suffering. Now Sophie is the one consoling her mother and attempting to make her mother feel at ease about the situation going on around her.
I think a problem I might run into is casting issues - obviously progressing through different ages i will need actors of a variety of age groups. I have one sorted already.
Child - Tamsyn (my little sister - haven't actually asked her but yano - she'll do it)
I've done some digital paintings that depict some of the shots I want to use in my film - I'll put them in a separate blog post for you.
