Initial idea

Initial idea

My initial idea is that my short film is going to be a war/thriller film that is set in world war 2, where a 101st airborne trooper has been left behind by accident by his squad that had to leave suddenly during the night. When he wakes up he notices that his squad is not there and sets off to find them, but as he is walking around trying to find them he encounters a platoon of German troops that have been sent into the woods to find the airborne troops that were spotted in the woods. The airborne trooper then as to take refuge and defend himself from the advancing troops in an attempt to make his way back to his squad.
I am planning to shoot my film in a wooded area that has some buildings in which my main actor can take refuge in, and where the main action sequence will evolve around.

I am setting it during the second world war because the second world was is very well known and there is a lot of different possibilities for plots that i could do.
I decided to have Germans and Americans as they are two of the main forces in WW2, for my American character he is going to be 101st Airborne because they are a well known and were supposedly one of the best military division that were fighting in WW2.
For my plot I am going to try and develop it on an emotional level that will connect with the audience as I think it will make my product more effective.
