It's time to make up my mind on what the project's gonna be. I've been thinking of a few possibilities such as a mockumentary or a parody or something along those lines, but after learning some more about this project and having seen some examples of what other people in the past have done, I think I should divide up my time with more editing and less filming. To facilitate filming I've ultimately decided to do a charming little adventure movie featuring my two dogs kinda like Homeward Bound or 101 Dalmatians.
That's them. They appear to be adequately cute, at least to me, and they always love running around so I feel like I won’t have much trouble taking some good videos of them to put together after I’ve come up with a storyline and everything. For now, I’ve been thinking about some dog movies that I've seen before. There's no one genre for movies that center on dogs, but they tend to be adventure or drama.
Typically from what I've seen, dramas with dogs focus on the animals meeting and their living with their bipedal companions, as in Old Yeller, Marley & Me, and Hachi, where families take in and learn to live with the beloved pet. They can end in tearjerking deaths of the pet in question, as in the aformentioned examples, or happily end in the family staying with the dog, as in Air Bud, Beethoven, and believe it or not, All Dogs Go To Heaven.
However, I'd rather not work on a drama. The other type of dog movies is adventure, usually having the dog and its family being separated, leading the dog to go on an adventure to return home. This is the sort of format I was thinking of doing, something along those lines without being depressing but raather comedic or endearing or something. Some examples of adventure movies with dogs are Homeward Bound, Bolt, and 101 Dalmatians, all of which follow that sort of format with their plot.
