Coursework - idea pitch feedback










I appreciate the feedback and agree that my intent to use resources creatively we will effective. I further intend to use editing in order to evoke moods or the different stages of  grief. I have been given the idea to utilise colour in order to emphasise these moods; I did not have this idea previously. I also believe that dialogue can cheapen a short film yet my feedback has lead me to believe that dialogue is necessary in moderation in order to outline the narrative to the audience. I will make it as obvious as possible that the protagonists' moods and physical behaviour is changing through the five stages of grief. I will achieve this mostly through character expression and movement, alongside special effects editing and cinematography (e.g. low angle shots to emphasise vulnerability). Furthermore, in my feedback It was suggested I also use sound to further emphasise the stage of grief present; I will use different pitches and various sound effects to compliment the emotion being depicted. I am intending for the grief facing the person to be the result of the death of a relative. I was asked if the relative will be shown and I will depict the character through 'illusion' style shots where the character is never fully physical; e.g. a shadow or a reflection in water. I was asked how I will show all of the different stages within 5 minutes; I will do this by accurately diving the five stages into roughly 1 minute, so each stage gets equal focus to clearly illustrate its impact on an individual and how it ultimately passes. I was recommended to search a case study in order to deepen my understanding of grief as I have not necessarily experienced it first hand, since this suggestion I have began looking into how grief effects affected a woman who's husband suddenly died of cancer, and the grief she experienced.

Film made from image stimulus evaluation

Image
For this film-making task we were made to create a film that represents an image that we were given. My image was a large tree, and I subsequently wanted to explore the connotations that surround this such as nature, growth and natural beauty. For this piece I wanted to create a juxtaposition between the urban world and the natural world, hence the reasoning for my inclusion of repeated high angle shots showing increasing piles of waste surrounding a tree. These same high angle shots show the domination of consumerism and it's impact on our surrounding world. The beginning of my film captivates the beauty of nature and how this beauty can resonate when it isn't being corrupted. As the film progresses harsh shots skateboard wheels are used to emphasise man's intervention of the natural world, the wheel is a man-made creation. Through editing I have increased the volume of these shots to comment on the harshness of man's influence on nature. Furthermore as the sequences ...

Love Actually scene evaluation

Love Actually Evaluation Micro elements: Mise-en-scene: Regarding mise-en-scene I attempted to lay out a clear understanding of the collective aspects. To begin with, I wanted to establish a suitable setting to match the theme of the scripted movie “love actually” the scene in which I was tasked with recreating is set within 10 downing street and because of this I felt like I required a business-like professional set; Hence, a school being a perfect setting.   Following this, lighting played an integral aspect in the functioning of a well-formed scene, I wished for every shot to be bright yet not glaring, like the actual scene; therefore, artificial lighting was used throughout the whole cut excluding one outside scene.   The element of costume was addressed by using our schools’ uniform, suits and formal clothing. This was a suitable choice as it directly matched the costume shown in the actual scene. Character expression and movement was the hardest aspect of ad...
