For advise on the narrative for a short film, I decided that it would be a good idea to email a well known YouTube Film Critic by the name of Chris Stuckmann.

 

  

He is widely known amongst the YouTube Platform alongside another YouTuber by the name of Jeremy Jahns. Stuckmann has over 1,000,000 subscribers who watch his content on a daily basis.

 

He states that films these days "Go for  Style over Substance". Which is true as the narrative of a film is almost neglected and all focus is put in visual effects and camerawork. Perfect examples of these sort of films would b from the superhero genre of film. However some films such as Nolan's "Interstellar" have the perfect balance of style and substance.

For our Production we want to focus on the narrative and how we are going to present it in a way that is relatable but also interesting. The five minute duration that we have to stand by is only a very short time therefore we need to come up with a way to show a whole narrative that has an effect on the audience.

For advise, I sent him an email asking him what aspects of a narrative makes a social realist drama so effective on its audience.
