An insight into my idea...

After changing my mind a fair few times, I want to try and stick to my idea about showing someone growing up through the school system (Video Pitch 1). 

I was recently watching the television and the "Grandma's cake tin Mr Kipling' advert came on and I realised that it shared a lot of the techniques i wish to use in my short film. There is a lot of colours and all the shots are very low down, and slightly blurry. This mirrors exactly what I want to portray in my film. It shows innocence and naivity beautifully. 

 

One of my favourite things is when the face of the adults is slightly blurred, it shows that when you're a child, things like peoples faces arent important and you dont register them the same as you would when you're older.
I also like how the shots like sweep and blurr, showing only the colour and certain objects.
