As this being my last semester in school, I definitely wanted to do something fun for my capstone. I've been back and forth about if I wanted a short film or a graphic novel. I finally decided that I'm going to do a short film about this young guy who acts like he's a spy/detective. The film is going to be a comedy/spoof kind of deal. This main character always acts like this spy/detective on the weekends and his friend is always in the middle of it. The main character's name is Jimmy and somehow always takes situations to the max. In this film, he gets news that one of his friends has been missing. He believes that his friend is in great danger, but his best friend, Joe, tells him its probably not that serious. It starts from there and Jimmy's spy/detective mode turns on for the weekend. I'm still in the early stages of the film, but I have a good feeling that I can make it work.
Some things I'm going to research is other detective/spy movies and see what I can use for my movie. What norms are used in most of these movies and what are realistic for me to use? This will be an important question for me pushing forward. Pretty much a lot of movie watching and reading articles on this topic. I've seen some consistent actions in these movies, I'll put a little twist on my film to make a change.
This will be an interesting semester for me. I have a lot of things to plan out and people to help me out with this film. I know that I have a few people that can help me out already, so the only thing I need to do is keep creating the story. Let the fun begin........................
