1. How many primary characters will you utilise? One.

2. Where is your film set? Suburbia and the CBD.

3. What is the overall tone of your piece? Do you use any particular style of film, eg. noir, western . . . It varies considerably throughout. Overall I'd say it'll be 'off-beat'.

4. Do any of your characters die? If so, how? No.

5. Will you use special effects? I estimate about a quarter of my film will be timelapse footage, i.e. One still camera on a tripod taking photos at a regular interval, mushed together to create some super speedy footage. Sort of like the clouds passing by on the weather channel.

6. Will you be filming at night, during the day or both? Both.

7. Do you relate to the story you're telling? Somewhat. It's my anti-utopian outlook on society - similar to "Brave New World", "1984", "A Clockwork Orange", etc.

8. Do you have a voice-over at any point? I'm unsure.

9. How long is your film's timespan? Many repetitive days. A bit like that movie with Bill Murray..."Groundhog Day"?

9. How long is your film's timespan? I'm thinking 4-8 hours

10. What is the most random shot/object you use in your film? The bullying scene, not because of the effect, probably due to the acting.
