finding things to use in my short film


I found these masks on amazon as using makeup only to make someone look like a troll as I want them to, would be a hard task especially with my lack of knowledge of makeup. These masks are perfect for me as they are exactly how I pictured the characters in the story to be.
 

With these masks I was thinking of ideas for the rest of the costume. As the masks have hoods over the back of the heads, I was thinking that a hooded jumper or maybe a long wig to cover it would be the best. because the troll is living under a bridge, his clothes would be dirty and maybe even ripped which I could do myself. On the other hand, I could also have the main troll wear something along the lines of a worn piece of cloth to amplify the fact that he's a troll living under a bridge with nothing. The brothers costume would be more sophisticated as it would help to show the story that his brother had made it in the city and is now a successful person. I think I would either make him wear a suit or some sort of long coat. to show that he has made enough money to buy it.

starting to look at ideas for my short film

To start to develop ideas of what sort of story and type of genre of film to make my short film in the style of, I looked at some random pictures and wrote a few of the first words that came into my head.  This helped me in starting to develop some ideas of the types of stories that I could base my short film on as I began to write some very short scenes based on the photos that I used. As you can see these are very rough ideas that don't have a lot of context but it helped me to start to think of ideas that I could possibly do for my coursework. I also used an ideas generating pack to come up with a story using some weird categories that don't necessarily fit together. this helped to stretch my imagination.
