Short Stories.

Surrealist. This is the topic that our film is based around, we have discussed ways in which we want to put a narrative together. The best way to do it and how we wanted to put it together, is by using all the old techniques that the earliest of surrealists film writers used.

Such as free association.

However, with the time scale we have been given, it seems as though we are going to have take some short stories and put them together as a dream sequence possibly. Or do things such as take the first line of each short story and write a treatment about them/combining them, which was our other option.

surrealism |səˈrēəˌlizəm|

noun

a 20th-century avant-garde movement in art and literature that sought to release thecreative potential of the unconscious mind, for example by the irrational juxtaposition of images.

Below is a link to a website, in which there are lots of short stories put together by lots of different people.

These titles for short stories also kind of represent what I would want to see in our film. A kind of outline of what kinds of things I want to include.
