Examples of conventional lifestyle in films

Image
In my short film, Abracadabra, I want the conventional lifestyle to be made clear. I think that will make the main character, Ben, more relatable as he doesn't want to be a part of the conventional lifestyle, and wants to persue his dream of being a magician, so that he will stand out. In the short film, The Black Hole, the (only) character in it, is shown to be a part of a conventional lifestyle. He is working in a typical office, and seems to be unhappy. This makes the existance of the magical black hole have more effect. In Ferris Bueller's Day Off,  Ferris lives in a safe, house, and has a typical family and goes to a typical highschool. Despite having a conventional lifestyle, he is a free spirit. In, Edward Scissorhands, the neighborhood is conventional. This contrasts with the location of where Edward came from.

Production process

These are the five stages of the production process. Development - The first stage in which the ideas for the film are created,  and the screenplay is written. Financing the project has to be sought and obtained.  Pre-production - Arrangements and preparations are made for the shoot, such as getting the cast, and selecting locations.  Production - The raw footage and other elements for the film are recorded during the film shoot.  Post-production - The images, sound, and visual effects of the recorded film are edited and combined into a finished product.  Distribution - The completed film is distributed, marketed, and released.  This is important to know so that I can use this for my short film.

Short film treatment

In media, we have been assigned to create a short film. This is my first idea of what the plot could be for my short film: A teenage boy, Ben is an aspiring magician. It is first made clear that he is not good at it, yet he doesn't give up and even wants it as a career. He is shown attempting a few different tricks, and failling. His parents are disappointed and worried, because of his determination to have a career in something he isn't talented at, and wouldn't be realistic, even if he was talented. They are reading an email from his school, stating that he hasn't been doing his homework. He attempts another trick, and fails. His parents lecture him about not doing well in school, and him wasting his time with trying to do tricks, and threaten to confiscate all his magician things. Then, Ben makes them disapear, with a magic trick.
