Ideas

After great consideration I have flushed my 2 ideas down the toilet. I have come up with another idea for my short film; it is going to be about an artist who can no longer produce beautiful art unless she is under the influence of alcohol. I would like to combine visual art with poetry but I haven't decided on the type of visual art yet. I want to somehow involve photography because I have some ideas about the girl, played by myself, walking on the beach sober and uninspired. She takes a couple of snap shots but when she looks at them in the camera display, she gets disappointed and discouraged to the point where she gives up. The scene then cuts to her in her apartment, drinking, looking at pictures and maybe putting together a collage, or maybe she goes back out to make sunset pictures and this time she likes them.

The main point that I want to bring across is that she needs to drink to get inspired, yet her drinking is becoming a problem because it is making her depressed, which works in favor for her art but not her health.
I also want to create a solitary feel to the film. There will be scenes with dialogue, between her and her friends and boyfriend, probably to cancel plant mostly. There is also something going on between her and her boyfriend, maybe she has affairs when she drinks, or maybe the guy threatens to leave her because she's always absent. She might also have phone conversations with her family in which she pretends to be perfectly happy and normal. I want to try to display her inner artsy mind. I want to try to show the viewers how she sees and interpret objects and situations. She loves nature and focuses mostly on that, she is also a vegetarian which I may or may not care to display, but basically a hippie tree hugger type. I still working on the character though.

I'm going to use music to enhance the mood I'm looking for in each scene and I need research copyright laws for songs. I'm also planning on shooting mostly on public territory so I don't have to worry about permits.
Come monday I will have a more thought out plan for this movie, but that's it for now.
