Research and Inspiration

Our group have looked at short stories so we can focus on our understanding of the three acts of any film. When coming up for the narrative for the film i'm glad that we did this research as it was made a much easier and efficient task and i anticipate this years film to be much better than last years.

First of all we looked at a short film called The Black Hole by Phil and Olly.



Here the three act structure is clear - at first the character realizes that there is a black hole in his peice of paper. The second act is him realizing that he can put his hand through the paper. In the 3rd act the character uses his paper to open doors he never could and rob what he would never be able to, at first he is sensible however equilibrium is re-established when he puts his whole body into the safe and is trapped in there showing the lesson of not to be greedy.


I really liked 'Pound' by Evan Bernard as it has such a unique narrative.



It starts with a character walking down the street when he is met by his friend where they engage in an 'impressive handshake' for nearly a minute, once this stops they exchange pleasentries and then proceed with another long handshake. Equilibrium is re-established when the initial character walks off once again.
