Matthew Leigh G324 Advanced Portfolio

My initial idea was to create a sci-fi short film based around a world in which everyone aged backwards, being born from the grave and eventually ending life in the womb. This would be a world for the people deemed not pure enough for heaven, but not impure enough for hell, my own version of limbo. I planned to make use of many extras from all ages, many locations, and extensive use of green screening and animation.
Eventually I realised, especially due to limitations of my health and the fact that I am working alone, that this idea was far too ambitious. It was not focused and concise enough to produce the quality of film I would like to create, and would have caused many problems with development, including:

1.Problems with filming children (need for extensive consent for each minor used)
2.Problems with filming in or recreations of certain environments (graveyards, hospitals and schools)
3.Technical limitations (green screening and animation will have most likely ended up looking cheap and amateurish due to not having access to high quality devices)
4. Problems recruiting enough extras and organising shoots in which everyone is available.

After considering these problems, I decided it would be best to scrap this idea, and chose something better suited to the resources I have available, and the limitations that my current health situation provides me with.
