Technical/aesthetic approach to drama short film

In the read through workshop we read through an unfinished script for our film to gather general ideas and questions from our peers. As a group we had a very minimal script consisting of some of the main pieces of dialogue in our short drama, these were to be edited and adjusted later as well. From listening to advice it gave us a lot of opportunities to change around the story to help with pacing and the time frame we had, the theme of stalking was still our main idea however after the read through some characters and areas of the plot changed. This then allowed us to start brainstorming our technical/aesthetic approach to our short drama due to the new ideas we had developed, as I was originally doing camera as well as another member of the crew we wrote down ideas on shots and styles we like and would apply to the film. For me I took inspiration from things such as This is England (TV series) and Luther (TV series) which are unite gritty british shows that have a very unique style throughout that really emphasises and compliments the narrative, so this is why I mainly focussed on those two references to see how I could apply it to our film.
