Week 2

An integral part of the project and film is the development of an interview process that creates not only a comfortable environment for the person being interviewed but their answers should be influenced by my presence.

A rough interview proposal:

The standard story progression starts with the catch at the introduction/begging to entice the viewer and give the story a direction. It then continues to introduce characters as the plot is introduced through them and their narrative. Positive or engaging outcomes are presented over minor negative situations until we reach the climatic stage, this part is quickly met with the largest problem the main character has to face, for example in a romantic story this stage is where the skeletons in the protagonist’s closet are found out by his/her love interest, he/she is then faced with the task of winning the love interest’s affections back. After this goal is achieved the story comes to a conclusion.

In my story the character starts off searching the rooms of his mind, not soon revealing to the viewers that he is dying.

I will interview four or five people but use only three for the story. Each person will be asked on three topics.

“What was your most proud achievement in life?”

“What do you regret the most?”

“What are you not proud of?”

“Discuss a significant point of realisation in your life”

“Who or what is god to you?”

“If you were to die tomorrow what would you be most proud of, least proud of, what would you have missed out on?”

Then based on their responses the dialogs most relevant will be chosen and presented in the order most relevant to the progression of the story.
