For my creative project i have decided to work with Beth Slater, we have decided to do the option of the film sequence with either a genre of romance or horror, which we will finalise later on in the project. We are in the process of watching some sequences of films from both genre which is helping us to decide on our final idea. We are unsure who we can use as our actors/actresses but have been having a think and we will defiantly be able to get hold of someone who will make our project sucessful. Also we have began to think about the location for our filming.
If we go on to do a romantic film we think a good idea would be to go to the Manchester ice rink and film clips from that and then maybe go to a coffee shop after wards, and make the day out look like a realistic date, this would be done at night time as there would be more of an atmosphere and the lighting would have a better effect as everywhere would be lit up and christmassy.
Whereas, if we were going to do a horror we could find somewhere more isolated with a creepy atmosphere. Again the lighting would be quite dark as we would use natural lighting which would support the theme of horror in the sequence.
WWW: I think your idea of producing a Romance film is strong. You have though about some good realistic locations, I also thought your idea in class about using the Manchester Christmas Markets as a location would be excellent!
ReplyDeleteEBI: You now need to decide on which micro-elements you will both be taking charge of and start to develop your narrative.
TIP: Keep your narrative simple! Focus on creating meaning with your micro-elements!
Show me 1: A decision about which micro-elements you will be focusing on and your plan in how you will apply them to your film.
Show me 2: A decision as to whether you are doing a short film or a film sequence.
