Progress has definitely been made now in terms of what we want to achieve with this film. We wanted to make the film a little more surrealist so we added in various ideas when planning to try and get something that would fit in with the message we are trying to convey with the film as well as confusing and jarring the audience and making the film just feel more Surrealist.
The overall plan is to combine these ideas of exploration of memory with a sort of reflections of a dying man. Our protagonist is looking back at perhaps the negative memories of his life and the spectator is meant to feel perhaps horrified or shocked by this but in our current draft, we see the protagonist trying to cling on to these negative memories and we could perhaps talk about how even these horrific memories of childhood are precious to us as human beings and they shape who we are as people. Without them, we are left hollow shells of ourselves (as will hopefully be presented in the film). To match these themes and ideas, we have come up with a working title, inspired by a line from the lesser-known Oscar Wilde poem Desespoir, which is Thoughts that Burn. We think this title would perhaps draw in an audience interested in surrealism but also perhaps sum up our film in a few words, the regret and despair of loss of memory and perhaps a desire to reconnect with lost thoughts. So, overall, the film is going quite well with the planning, with a good, solid basic idea set up and we hope we can build on this with a good screenplay and storyboard/shot list.
