Struggling to come up with any ideas that I felt passionate
about and hoping to find some inspiration from real life, I began taking notes
of the people and lives around me.

People playing bowls -
Repetitive circulation of people
moving to shoot encourages conversation.
Mother & Son walking – Disagreement over family matter
Boy and girlfriend training dog together
Using these characters etc for inspiration, I began trying
to plan an actual story.
Old man and young girl in a laundromat together. Old man
gets annoyed at young people always being on their phones etc. She helps him realise
that it can be used to connect with friends he hasn’t seen in a long time and
he reminds her to look up and not down 24/7.
Two girls trying to get ready
for a night out. Blaise has been ready for half an hour and is waiting on
Emily, who’s adamant she’s not going anywhere until she’s finished her coursework.
Blaise persuades Emily to down a variety of shots to help ‘motivate’ her and
the night begins from there.
‘I was sitting in a café
yesterday and this man comes over and asks if he can sit next to me. I said to
him ‘it’s your chair as much as it is mine’ and anyway, we get to talking and
he asks me how old I am, so I tell him, I say ‘I just turned 70’. He says he’s
90, ‘you’re still a boy’ he says, ‘I bet you still act like one too.’
- Overheard from a man on a bus.
Conversations of age and life.
Contrast between young and old ideology.
Each generation has something
to teach and something to learn.
The secret life of the elderly?
Old couple planning a house
party?
