Welcome to my blog for my A-Level film project. This year Knock-Off Productions, which I am one third of, is creating a short film called ‘Gnome Life’, which needs to be no longer than five minutes. ‘Gnome Life’ tells the story of a real life gnome living in a world which doesn’t understand him, and we show him trying to find his way in life questioning himself along the way.At first, we wanted to create a drama-thriller including a love interest. However, this was before our survey results, and after analysing these we swiftly changed our mind. We understand the importance of our audience, and we would not want to create something that people wouldn’t find interesting, and did not reflect our personalities and points of view.
‘Gnome Life’ is a comedy, however still holds a strong message about society and outcasts within it. We created a similar film last year, however we intend to take it a step further this year, making it more funny and delivering a stronger message. Including a fictional character, like a gnome, means that he can represent all outcasts in society and can be someone who some of our audience can relate to stronger than others, however I feel most people have felt like an outcast at some point in their life.
I hope my blog gives you a good insight into the concept of our film and shows you the layers which we intend to create for our audience.
