13) Evaluation

Demir Kama is based around a love story between two people and comparing it with the beauty of nature, highlighting how both things come naturally. I chose to film in a non-linear sequence to represent memories and experiences of the love story, including encounters with friends along the way. This in a way does not conform to a conventional short film - although the plot is in linear order as it describes the middle and end of a relationship, the memories are puzzled and appears as a dream sequence.

8) Generating ideas - 1 (script/casting)

CASTING : Main character - Olivia Waters Boyfriend of main character - Lewis Cowdry Close friend 1 - William Clarke Close friend 2 - Massimo Wise In the short film, the names of all the individuals included are not stated nor implied to the audience. I chose not to do this because I thought this would be irrelevant information and leads to a bit of mystery throughout the short film, just like a dream sequence should.
