Matthew Leigh G324 Advanced Portfolio

Taking everything into account, the final idea for my film is to have a light comedy about a young man struggling to wake up and get up. It's focus will be on physical comedy and illustrative music, with time lapsed sequences of the sun cut between the narrative segments to show the passing of time as the main character blunders his way through the waking process.

I will film and edit the short before creating the music, to make sure it fits the narrative perfectly, and accentuates the humour. I will use natural lighting and perhaps edit the film to have slightly more colour depth. Combined with the use of held shots and the music element, hopefully this will give the film an artistic feel, instead of pure physical slapstick. My aim is to create a healthy balance of precision film-making and light humour.
