My Finalised Idea

Recently I have been debating some different plot lines for my media coursework this year for my short film from the fantasy genre. I have gone through a large amount of different plot lines before my final decision ranging from the point of view of a villainous character, a futuristic fantasy and a possible steampunk storyline as well.

Finally I came to my own plot line. I decided that my previous idea was too ambitious with a large cast and therefor decided to cut down on both cast numbers and the length of the short film in general. I occasionally read modern fantasy novels as well as watch films of the same genre. This aided my inspiration as well as some fantasy and historic films such as Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings and Vikings. I also went outside my chosen genre and looked at my inspiration for my previous coursework which took ideas from the television series 'The 100'.

The plot to my short film for my coursework came down to this:

'A teenage girl, Sienna is on the run from her own kind and is captured by a nymph called Melodie who — in turn for her own freedom — must hand in Sienna as an offering to the people of the forest. The Woodland Queen accepts Sienna before returning Melodie to imprisonment, resulting in the two girls escaping.'
