Upon analysing the 3 required short

films I sought to create an
amalgamation of everything I had
learned through these analyses. To
achieve this I aimed to contrast and
compare 2 of the short films I
analysed; Infidel and The Black Hole.
To complete these tasks I
comparatively mentioned the mis en
scene of the films, their ideological
values, representation and their target
audience. I also juxtaposed several of

During this week I also focused my attention onto the starting

point of the creation of my short film. My media teacher
advised me to base my product off of a singular quote, moral
parable or existing script to give a
backbone for my film. Taking this on
board, I researched several scripts
and selected one I believed would
most inspire me for a narrative of my
own short film. Social Good by
Bobby Hudson was the script I settled
with. This was due to it being set in
the genre which I wished my short
film to be in; Science fiction and the
several themes and ideologies it has
contained within its script. I thought
the complex narrative of a corrupt government being forced to
food process the first borns of every family on their 18 th
birthdays to combat overpopulation was an excellent influence
on my product. For this reason I decided to base my final
product solely on this script but heavily adapt it to make it
unique and different from the events within its literature.
