Hansel and Gretel Outcome

So here is the Hansel and Gretel film, Alex Cruden is currently writing a draft script for me, so until I have a chat with next, I'll have to keep the rest of you guys on pause.

But I can give you a rough idea of what it's about. The main focus of this film is storytelling, I want to show how it's key for the narrative structure. Our narrator/story-teller (TBA) is going to tell us the story of Hansel and Gretel, the idea is that they would be telling us the story as if a parent would be telling a story, so instead of the actors using their voices, the narrator would do their voices for them dubbed on top. As well as this, the narrator would do the small imperfections and quirks you would get when you're being told a story i.e. some bits are forgotten, some bits are exaggerated and so on.

The twist for this Hansel and Gretel is that it will be a modern adaptation, for example, we initially came up with the concept that instead of a house made out of sweets, Hansel and Gretel would go to a drug den (this isn't confirmed, just an idea to get it rolling). As well as this I want to use quite a few experimental camera techniques, as well as a few editing techniques on the go too.

That's all for now, but as always if you guys want to suggest something, leave a post!

Cheers

Jamie
