We looked at PostSecrets, These are a series of real- life postcard which the public send in their deepest secrets, anonymously on a homemade postcard to share to the world. The concept was founded by Frank Warren, and between 2005- 2007 he had received over 2,500 original pieces.
I was given a series of 4 postcards and I had to selected 2 postcards and develop a film synopsis from the post card imagery and words. The idea of the task was to see how we can create a simple short film idea from just one source.
My first choice was:
Mary- jane, 16 is overweight for her age. Her mother, Christine is small, frail and boarder-lining anorexic. Mary Jane has dreams of going to fashion school and has a passion to make clothes for plus size woman, however knows the industry is infatuated with her mother's 'healthy' slim-line figure. Mary Jane is trapped in world of self-hate and a society of social oppression. She often makes clothes for her mum, and even after her death to anorexia - Mary always hopes her mother will finally discover she always wrote her messages in the seams.
My second choice was:
Film Synopsis
Danny, 42 has been diagnosed with cancer. He is sitting in the hospital waiting for his family to visit. They visit everyday at 6pm, its 5:59 at no sign of them. He them begins to wonder- where could they be. Its Christmas day, they would want to send it with their dad- in hospital, right? It's been years since he was able to show love to his wife- she still loves him- right?
