Further Plot Developments

To improve upon the original idea, we wanted the ending to be more striking, more shocking and therefore have decided to create an element of shock for the audience in the final scene of the film. Towards the end of the short film it will transition to another character who has the playback headset on, the character expresses how he was really enjoying the film so far and would love to meet the cast. A point of view perspective will lead the audience to the location of the final scene where the playback ended and reveals a film set. The actors within the playback will appear revealing that the whole film has been a film within a film and that playback is a way of watching films and experiencing what the actors are acting. To create this film set appearance, we will use two cameras in the process of filming and have light fixtures and boom men all around the last scene before introducing the cast of the short film. The genre of the film is a science fiction thriller as it contains elements of science fiction, for example the virtual reality playback is futuristic and is typical of the  science fiction genre. It also has elements of suspense and mystery which are themes seen in thrillers.
