Directions Unit: A Journey Through...

This week we started our new unit called Directions. Part of this unit has us directing a short film titled 'A Journey Through...'. We had 5 genres to pick from to complete the film's title. These were Anger, Freedom, Sorrow, Loneliness and Love. 
Initially when i looked at the titles i was drawn to Sorrow and Loneliness but i after reading the script i felt that it would be more challenging for me as a director to choose something like Freedom or Love. When i began to brainstorm ideas for Love i quickly realised that this idea could work well for me so i decided to go with it. 



Below is my mind map of the theme Love:


The Oxford dictionary definition of Love:

 'a strong feeling of affection: babies fill their parents with intense feelings of love,  their love for their country'
'a strong feeling of affection and sexual attraction for someone: they were both in love with her, we were slowly falling in love'
'affectionate greetings conveyed to someone on one's behalf: give her my love'
'a formula for ending an affectionate letter: take care, lots of love, Judy'
'a great interest and pleasure in something: his love for football, we share a love of music' 
'a person or thing that one loves: she was the love of his life, their two great loves are tobacco and whisky'
'a friendly form of address: it's all right love'
'used in affectionate requests: don't fret, there's a love'
'a score of zero; nil: love fifteen'

[apparently from the phrase play for love (i.e. the love of the game, not for the money); folk etymology has connected the word with french l'oeuf 'egg', from the resemblance in shape between an egg and a zero]

Now to research in more detail.

Stay safe,

Helen
