Brief

The film / video production option of FM3 give you the opportunity to:

Develop an extended sequence from an imagined feature or develop a complete short film or between 3 and 5 minutes.

I have chosen to develop a complete short film or between 3 and 5 minutes.

With both of these options you are meant to engage with the issues raised in FM1 in relation to the production of meaning and study of film stylistics and theory.

You can undertake this task as an individual and it is advised that you do so but if you do work in a group then your production role within the group must be clearly defined and you will need to provide evidence of your contribution in terms of that role and you will be assessed on your performance in that role.
