Wonderful Racket (Self-Directed Project)

Film Overview
Based on real events this film follows five friends living in Melbourne in the late Seventies. Influenced by the mod-punk scene in London and the punk scene in New York, they have a longing for something outside the 'small' world they live in. Until they find the thriving underground punk-rock scene in their own town. Influenced by the styles and music of The Jam and The Velvet Underground they discover emerging artists like The Boys Next Door and The Models as they delve further into the depths of new local venues like the Crystal Ballroom and the Tiger Lounge where they find a thriving scene full of booze, long hair, black & tartan and amazing local bands that rival those influences they thrive for thousands of miles away.

Project
This year I will be creating the trailer for this film (2-4 minutes). This will include all pre-production in first semester, i.e; research, character design, script-writing, finding locations, shot lists, etc. In second semester it will be shooting and editing!

    Ambitious project but you seem to be on top of it already so go for it...
