My short film:

Plan for short film -

Premise is based upon childhood, the longing for being what once was. Innocence and happiness. Specific relations to my own childhood  through use of setting/location specifically.

- Old photos and videos from that time, which then cuts to how it is now, the past to the present.

- Focus on how things change

- Structured in non-linear way, starts off with the journey of heading to the tree, putting the letter there, walking away. Cuts to being at home, not a huge mention of what the beginning was about - introduction of me I guess... head to my room - (ideas: lie on bed, music, pan of my room or a POV shot of me looking at my room/ ceiling) get off the bed, pull out a letter and read it (The letter is from my younger self - but that isn't revealed easily, doesn't mention it, just questions and ideas on a page) I want it to come across to the audience as if I am grieving someone I know, I'm reading letters they once wrote to me etc. Not until the end when its revealed it was from my younger self - grieving my younger self.

Random ideas - not sticking with all of them -
use of diary or letters to bring context without constant dialogue. Maybe a call or along the lines of it.

I want it to be realistic but mixed with expressionism too - Capture the feel of Cambridge/Cambridgeshire - especially what it felt like when I was younger

I want it to feel relatable and wholesome, and I have inspiration from some of these films and photos down below.
