  One of the most challenging parts of the short film convention was the length. In my first pitch the story was so complex that it would about 15 minutes while my main task has to last no more than 5 minutes. In addition, the short films which inspired me like Eric Kissack’s ‘’The Gunfighter’’ (2014) and Charles Williams’ ‘’All These Creatures’’ (2018) lasted around 10 minutes. But what was on my side is that another key convention of short films is that their story can be simple. So I made my pitch less complex so it could last around 5 minutes. Talking about sound, the only non-diegetic sound in the film is the music which sets the mood for the film. A big influence on my music choice for the film was The Beach Boys studio album ‘’Pet Sounds’’ (1966) which is a concept album with songs linked to each other. This album largely focuses on such themes as love and relationship and it was one of the main reasons why I decided to dedicate my short film to relationship between two young pe

(55) Year 13 Second Draft - YouTube This is my second draft of my Year 13 main coursework. There is a lot of improvement if comparing to the first draft but there are still some moments which could be better. For example, I need to solve the sound problem because it's not always heard what characters say. So by the time the final draft is released, I'll make sure that the volume is high enough to hear the protagonists' voices. Another key thing is to get rid of titles that appear at the end of the film. I just thought that it would be appropriate to give credits to everyone who participated in my filmmaking process but the teacher said that after the end of film it has to be only the title ''The End'' and that's all. Which means that if I do this, my coursework will last 4:20 minutes which is less than 5. In order to solve that problem, I will add the additional establishing shots.

  This is the pitch for my short film which I'm doing to make this half of term. Considering that its length should be no more than 5 minutes, not too much happens. The film is a melodrama and includes male protagonist who falls into a girl who was walking nearby and and offers a date in a cafe. On the following day the pair meets in the cafe and have a conversation about their personal life, they are both having a good time. In the last scene the boy and girl are leaving the cafe and both agree that they enjoyed a lot and look forward to meet again. Then the male character returns home and falls on the bed with a smile on his face. The establishing shots were made in London during the half-term but the rest will be shot in Ellesmere College where I study at. The big inspiration on coming up with the idea of the film was the 1966 album ''Pet Sounds'' which was largely linked to topics about love relationship between two teenagers. Talking about the target audience,
