heterocera <3

so i'm making a film.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
i'm actually really scared of how it's all coming together so quickly. there's only one person left to cast, incidentals are easy to get, i'm talking to graeme about getting a camera, and the props are all here. and it's all ready.
i don't know why i'm afraid. it might have something to do with the sheer speed in which this has all come to be, i mean on monday night it was only a story that i wrote randomly. now it's a student short. it's going to be written, directed, filmed, edited by me. i think that's what's so scary. not that i have to do everything, but the fact that because i'm doing everything that means i'm the only one who can be critisised. there's no blame that can put on anyone else. this has to be amazing, and i have to make it that.

i can see it being very stylised: extreme close ups; reverse filming; little or no music; artsy; quick, snappy shots and then long, sweeping camera movements for opposing ideas.
like a cross between donnie darko and requiem for a dream.

i can't really explain what it's about, it's really disjointed, like there's no real plot. just digressions and a narration. it's rather short so i can't tell you exactly what happens without giving the ending away too fast, and making it sound shite. there are 5 characters, (though 1 is just itself and cannot be played) the mind, the body, the eyes, the voice and heterocera.

the idea for the ending is that throughout the entire film, there's background noise, but it's really muffled, like you're underwater, and then at the end it slowly fades in to a roar and then cuts to silence. it probably sounds really pretentious or crap or obvious, but i think it'll come out ok.

grace is going to be the body, i'm going to be the mind, someone irish is going to be the voice, and the eyes have been uncast. heterocera is hard, somehow i need to get a moth on my ceiling!

the film is going to be anywhere between 10-20 minutes long, i don't know. i want to put it on youtube, but it may have to go up in 2 parts. argh. don't really want to do that. maybe i could email someone and see if i could have a lovely extension for this one thing? :)
hmm.
