RATIONALE: We chose this idea because we liked the idea of a film within a film or a photo coming to life kind of idea, I think this will be a good project because there are a lot of skills we can use to make the way this film is edited an filmed cleverly and done well. The skills we plan to use and develop making this film are the shots, panning shots, an the sight continuous format style. The editing is as I said important as well because we have chosen to experiment with different colour palettes and music to set the scene of the particular year we are shooting. The message behind our film is to show images that create memories and memories that create emotion. It is meant to make the audience realise the importance of cherishing moments as any circumstance can change making that person just another memory instead of being part of you.
