Short Stories

The Blind Girl

http://academictips.org/blogs/moral-tale-the-story-of-a-blind-girl/

When I read this story it made me think of how many of us take things for granted. This story gave me an idea to make a film with a message and maybe make the audience realise that they are lucky to even be watching the film.


The Third Option by LeRoy Bohrer

This caught my attention from the first paragraph. When you realise that a woman has just shot two people you immediately want to know why she did it. This story is very descriptive and as a result you are able to close your eyes and imagine what is happening.

The twist to the story is how it ends, she takes her own life as she cant bare to turn her self in or run from the law.



The Nightstalker by Ray Cowie

This story is very similar to what i am trying to show in film. This story is a mixture of thriller and comedy. From the begginning right to the end you are made to believe that someone has creeped in to a couples bedroom, after lots of screaming and crying it turned out to be a "
bruised and bewildered moth".

When I read this I thought it was a person and I was worried for the people, this is the effect I want to create with my film and get the audience engaged to a point where they feel scared or somehow responsible for someone.

  1. The following is what needs to be done to improve your blog:
    1. Story ideas should be linked rather than copied in full onto the blog, and need analysis of what it is you like about them.
    2. Favourite directors section needs some personal insight. A small paragraph on why you like a director and his films is worth much more than a copy and pasted biography.
    3. Need analysis of one more short film.
    4. Layout could be clearer with sections labeled and maybe colour coded.
    Find me if any of this is unclear or you'd like any extra help.
