I am ecstatic to say that we have a new member in our group! This new member is Katy, who is the very first friend that I met at Bath Spa University, and I know her to be an awesome and imaginative person, so the fact that she has joined the team fills me with joy!
We eventually settled on a script called 'Treatment' involving a man who forgets to take his medication and goes insane. We knew it would involve a large amount of editing and re-writing, as some parts, such as the references to Schizophrenia, we thought were unsuitable for a short film intended to be a comedy.
We were also unimpressed by the original ending, so there was an extended discussion about the possibility of including a large chorus number for a humorous and unexpected ending. With two musical members of the group - myself and Josh - this seemed like a highly feasible option. As it was a black comedy, the obvious influence was the infamous and controversial ending to 'The Life of Brian' - one of the Monty Python masterpieces. For those of you poor unfortunate people who have never seen it, here is Always Look on the Bright Side of Life:
I already have a huge amount of musical and visual ideas floating around in my head....
I know from previous composing experience that it is best to work with a partner, to bounce ideas off each other, in particular if one is more experienced in a particular area (I know more about piano and classical vocal composition - Josh knows more about electric music and more popular stuff, so a combination of our 'talents' should be a new and interesting musical endeavour!).
I am already getting fired up about this project....
