It was called 'Post Secrets' by Frank Warren. Using these secrets we were asked to mindmap some ideas and then come up with a synopsis for an idea of a short film.
My Postcard:
"I'm afraid to answer the telephone."
Some of my ideas on my mindmap included:
- A similar kind of movie to Phonebooth - but without answering the phone.
- It can be a horror movie, where she lets the phone go to answer machine and hears a voice that is gradually getting closer to her location.
- Could be a short movie that the girl doesn't want to answer the phone because she doesn't want to go out with the guy calling her.
I then decided on an idea and wrote a synopsis:
"The phone would ring, but it always went to answer machine.
Hannah was a recluse. She lived in a farmhouse miles from any civilisation. But this was not always the way she had been. Hannah was living with a dark and deep secret that only she knew. It had been eating away at her for years. But how had somebody else come to know of this secret?"
After this, we were asked to write our own secret on a postcard. This postcard would then be passed on to somebody else in the class and they would have to write a synopsis for a short film idea.
I received a postcard that featured the following secret:
"After watching an interview with Lady Gaga, I have changed my opinion of her."
I wrote the synopsis:
"Hannah was sitting at home on a Monday morning flicking through the music channels. She didn't have a job and enjoyed not socialising with friends. Whilst flicking through she heard Lady Gaga's Pokerface. Although despising her, thinking she was a stuck-up, pompous brat, she decided to keep watching.
Little did she know, this interview would change not only her opinion, but her whole life."
