Film Project Week One: Moral Premise

For the film project we were all put in groups of four, some people in this group would be people that we had never worked with before. I thought that this would be really good as it would be an opportunity to hear what other ideas people that I had never heard from had. 

We learnt what a moral premise was and what the format to use was when making one. The story premise is when and incident occurs and the hero must achieve a goal. The moral premise is the attitude that leads to a consequence. Some moral premise ideas that we thought about included, faith conquers pride, foolish generosity leads to poverty and ill temper leads to isolation. Our group liked the idea of the attitude leading to isolation. At first we thought of betrayal leads to isolation, but betrayal is quite vague as an attitude so we changed it into something more specific; disloyalty leads to isolation. 

We had to ensure that our work was relevant to the idea of the power of silence that has been carried through following the photography project. We thought that disloyalty liked to silence quite well because when someone is completing a disloyal act, they are likely to do it behind someones back (most likely the person they are being disloyal to). Also isolation as a consequence is a very lonely and often quite silent state to be in.
