Just browsing google, found a few stories about journeys. I don't know what sort of route we are taking with this film, so I'm trying to gather sources of different styles, hopefully one will suit us all. This one is a drug addicts story.

The Australian drug geezer was very moving! A journey worth noting! Good Source Batman!

Some pictures from a woman's travel. Lead me to an idea, say a girl or guy trying to impress someone, says that they have traveled the world, and they have to prove it when they haven't really done it. So they get a stills camera, and fake a load of photographs of them in different places to try and prove that they haven't lied...

This idea is good mate. Only worry for me would be in regards to the locations. We would possibly have limited shots to really produce this. Unless we based it in one location, say a beach or seaside resort and that was where the women stated she had gone to.
Good Idea though.

Browsing youtube, I found a short 6 minute student film about a Journey, thought this might be relevant to us :)

Guys I wanted to comment on the last idea. The short film produced Murray Pictures.
Let me just say that when I was watching it i got the idea of Journey straight away, which was obvious through the use of Transport and moving from one place to another. I liked some of the camera work and the music in some parts was effective with the visual but i have to admit I just thought it was a guy going to the beach, i had no idea of the actual path this production was intending until he goes to jump.
Being honest, about 3 mins in to this i started to think about an idea, of someone going to commit suicide and then during the last 10 seconds i was thinking "Dont you dare kill yourself cause that's my idea" ha but he went to jump.
So, basically what im trying to say is this is obvious inspiration for my treatment, but I feel that the message of Sadness was not put across well, some of the camera shots were far too long and the actual fact that i did not (until last 10 seconds) realize he was sad and going to kill himself I think we could produce a very strong piece of work by using this idea. Improving the music, camera shots, camera timing etc I think this could be a very powerful piece.
I also like the idea of going to the beach, because for me the sea itself is very calming and it's a nice location to shoot. We would have to travel to the nearest beach which god knows where it is but i like it. Seriously though another weakness of that film was that the lad was never going to kill himself jumping into the water from that height jeeeez ha. So this would need to be more dramatic.
