Tutorial and new ideas




During the meeting with Sarah, she showed us this short animated film called Father and Daughter, I really liked how we saw the life transition throughout her bike ride, and how at times she was joined by others, or rode her bike differently as she aged. The way the film managed to create this believable world where it seemed people lived on bikes, just by these small techniques is definitely something worth considering for our film. I think it would be a good idea to experiment with how the actor rides the bike to show their life development. 

Other things mentioned where perhaps if different paths appear throughout the character's life, I also like this idea as it shows the character isn't just following a path but actively choosing which course to take, as we want the film to be about the characters decisions that cause this loss of excitement in life we need to show that they are choosing this path, not just following it.

I also quite like the idea of starting off the bike and getting on, as this symbolises the character being born, and also by getting off the bike this symbolises the end, creating the bike to be more of a metaphor for life and death, and the journey people take.
