Major Project: Idea

In this blog I will demonstrate the process of how I've come up with my current idea for my major project and why I have chosen to do it.

My original idea was to do a 15 minute long sketch show which would consist of 3 sketches and a few mini ones in between. However when I went back home for the summer I stumbled upon a book that I bought several years ago by Andy Riley called "Great Lies to Tell Small Kids". The book is full of humorous illustrations with captions of (as the book says) lies to tell small kids. I then remembered that I had the option to create fifteen one minute episodes and the one minute episodes would be perfect to adapt these lies into film. So I decided to change my idea from a sketch show to a 15 episode series.

I decided that if I were to create this series I'd rather work with adults than children so I changed the title of the series from Great Lies to Tell Small Kids to Great Lies for Gullible idiots. My second port of call was to come up with a story for each episode, obviously the stories for each episode would be based around each page of the book but I still needed to form a story around these pages. So I decided to have a maximum of two main characters The Compulsive liar and The Gullible Idiot. The compulsive liar character will tell a lie and the gullible character will believe it, the gullible character will see the lie unfold in real life. I then decided to shorten the name of the title to just "Gullible" to keep it simple and to the point.

That's about all I've got so far I keep updating when I have more ideas or any changes are made
