Synopsis Commentary

Our film was initially about skin colour and the divisions between difference races in society.  We changed the plot from being about the colour of people’s skin to the colour of gloves. The gloves will represent skin colour and we have chosen to represent it through different colours of gloves as it would emphasise and expose the ridiculousness of people not being able to be together due to the colour of their skin. We chose to have gloves symbolising race in order to make the film more experimental and take advantage of the fact that we are making a short film so we have the opportunity to explore quirkier cinematic themes. Additionally, after researching many short films we realised that our original idea for the short film was more appropriate for a mainstream feature film that could explore the serious themes in greater depth with a bigger budget. Using gloves as a symbol of race it can be representative of other things such as religion it was also to be able to show our themes subtly and not just show it through the colour of their skin. We decided to include our initial synopsis in order to show our development in planning and how our ideas have changed through the research process.
