Some Surrealist Influence.

I've been talking to Rachel and Charlotte about the idea of surrealism and we're all pretty keen on trying to reproduce something along the lines of the idea of maybe a dream sequence piece, although we want to come up with a 'story', but we'd also like to take a surrealist approach to writing the treatment. Taking bits from short stories and maybe ding a free association game between ourselves. Examples: Taking first sentences from books to develop concepts, or possibly sat listening to music and writing a response of what we imagined to be happening, this would be good in then being able to apply some sound over our piece as we'd know what sort of things we needed to be hearing.
The options it seems we now have are:

- Take a short story and adapt it to be surrealist.
- Put together our own story through word assosiation.
- Take little bits, sentences from short stories and write some our selves.

The problem with free association is that it quite time consuming and we don't want to get bogged down in working on the story/treatment.
