Today we brainstormed to find a title for our film. We thought about what we are going to present in our film and the ideas and meanings we are going to include. We didn't end up with a title but amongst other things we considered how a large part of our film could be presenting the difference between wilderness and civilisation. An obvious way of doing this is by contrasting the character who puts on his suit and the character who camps in the forest, possibly using the theory of binary opposites, which we can write about in the exam; for example wilderness, insanity, and the animalistic against social order, sanity and humanity.
In relation to this we considered the novel Heart of Darkness and the film that it influenced, Apocalypse Now. We thought about relating the camping character to Marlow, the protagonist of Heart of Darkness. We wondered: what draws him into the wilderness? What are his attitudes to it? Does he succeed in finding what he is looking for? Also by referencing these texts our film will have an element of pastiche, and will be more postmodern as a result.
