Potential Film Ideas...

For my film opening, which will be just two minutes, I have concluded two ideas, and believe me, i changed my mind so many times, it was well into the double figures. However the two i have finalised on are the following;

Idea 1: A drama comedy; I hadn't actually thought of a name for the film, i came up with one whilst briefly thinking of the plot called 'Spencer II' This would tell the story of a child and her best friend spencer, a mouse, who had unfortunately died. This is how I imagined the film starting, a little girl burying a mouse in the soil, giving it a funeral service, in a sweet/ funny way that young children would, the shot pans round to over the child which shows a hand made crucifix saying 'spencer mouse, killed by mummy' prior to all of this in my titles, i would have a few moving photo shots of some time they spent together accompanied by music. These moving photos would have child like drawings over them also. I can't really describe this film, however i know what i would want it to be like in my head if i were doing this particular film. I also have an idea of who (my little sister, of 9 years, who was very keen to be in it and very dissapointed whne i told her i wasn't doing this idea anymore) and where I would do this.

Idea 2: Documentary/ Mocumentary - This is the Idea I have decided to stick to if all goes to plan on the filming. The basic plot for the two minuets is following the life cycle of a plastic bag on it's journey or migration to the great paciffic garbage patch, (A micky take on how plastic bags are clearly harmful to the enviroment, yet they still and up in the ocean, and obviously their natural habitat isn't the ocean, and they aren't species at all) where it will join it's other petroleum species, in it's natural habitat. It videos it's long journey capturing the many enimies and encounters that it faces during it's path. I have decided to do this because I like the idea of narration over a film, and whilst doing some audience research discovered that mockumentary's appeal to many. Although, if this doesn't go to plan i will go back to idea 1. Today in Media when I was telling Mr.Cole about my idea and he put a new idea in my head (just when I had it sorted aswell) and said i could follow the life of a man, who has an obsession with plastic bags, and you could walk into his house and he could have plastic bags pinned up on all of the walls, and he could have his favorites, for example 'The somerfields 1991 special'
