statement of intentions draft 1

Statement of Written Intentions draft

• Goals for the production (200-300 words)
• Choice of genre/formal category linked to:
• Your initial purpose in relation to the proposed film/animation (400-600 words)
• Connections with the work of other film-makers/animators (200-300 words)

I am planning to make a animation/film a.k.a a hybrid, films like Run Lola Run, kill bill, looney tunes back in action and who framed roger rabbit are examples of this. The story is a boy(played by me) has a dream in which he is swimming in the sea on an island far away. The scene on the island will be the animation scene. He then wakes up and decides to go to this island. As soon as he slams his door shut it turns back to animation. He gets on the bus and goes to the airport, at the airport he pays a man to put him into a bag and smuggle him to hawaii. When he gets there he goes to a beach and it is the same scene as his dream sequence, the end. The music will be the classical music used in the end of oceans eleven because I think it fits the story and it made the ending for oceans eleven very good. My inspiration to this film was a short animation by a ------- animation that I watched which showed an office man breaking out of his life by jumping out of his office onto a plane of which he has a model of in his desk and flying to a far off place in this yellow plane. The idea of a man escaping his life and completely abandoning himself from everything is what inspired me for my story. The idea of having it on an island is based on a poem I read called island man which uses metaphors to show the difference from this mans lifestyle in the city in London to his roots on an island. They use metaphors like the pillow waves which I am going to incorporate into my film, when he lifts up his covers to go to sleep it returns as the sea.
