Film Planning

Looking at results from surveys I have found 12 common dream themes that people have:

• Flying
• Falling
• Being Chased
• Water
• Public Nudity
• Searching for Something
• Being Trapped
• Back at School
• Getting Lost
• Car Problems
• Travel
• Death

From my survey results, film research and watching a documentary on sleep and dreams (Dreams: Cinema of subconscious) showing through out a variety of beautifully made dream shorts, I decided on some film ideas:

• Reversed Smoking
• Being Followed or Following Something
• Being in the Woods
• Traveling
• Doppelgangers
• Flying/Falling Stopmotion
• An Array of Different People Walking Through a Room With Someone Without Them Realising
• Transitional parts between the footage

After more planning and working out what is possible for me to do aswell as all my work I cut down on all the more time consuming and difficult ideas. I got rid of the flying/falling stopmotion as this would take me the longest and would leave me with no time for my other work. I also didn't want to have any traveling footage as I've already worked with the theme of travel in film. I have combined being followed or following something with being in the woods, giving a narrative to a possibly dream area. I needed something for them to follow and looking back at my previous project where i left trails of string on journeys i went the opersite way by following a trail of string.
