locations recce 2

A second location that I am using for my film is Elizabeth's house because it is convenient and works well for the outdoor scene because her road is quiet. Secondly it is very bright, so I can use natural, morning light to film

OVER

'Over' is a short film, directed by Jörn Threlfall. The film is told through a series of static shots, enabling Threlfall to create a very different approach to the telling of his story. This enables the audience to be involved in the unravelling of the story. This technique largely relies on interest in order to keep his audience interested. Threlfall explains this by saying, "I make the viewer be the detective." He goes on to explain that he, "Didn't want to tell it in a conventional way.

Chelsea Lupkin accurately notices that the film, "Aggressively confronts standards of masculinity in sports culture and how one young man attempts to construct his own sense of masculinity under unyielding gender confused conditions." This is definitely true of Rowland's film and the fact that he taps into the issue of suppressed expression in sport explicitly, is what makes the film so interesting. Sport is one of the most difficult areas to express oneself due to the perceived idea of masculinity that is so closely linked to it. These contrasting stills help to depict the contrasting feelings that he is battling with. Rowland's inspirations tell us a lot about his vision when creating the film. He said, "Growing up my idols were the likes of Eddie Izzard and David Bowie. I have...
