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. The story was so sad and desperate it needed a different way of telling... It's like shards and fragments, it was quite an intense way of making sure the viewer stayed with it. In the cinema I see viewers leaning forward, as if they want to go closer but can't." The film starts with a slow zoom into the road, where the story takes place. The zoom signifies an acceptance for the viewer, into the story, allowing them to be part of what is to come. Howeve...

'Slap' is a BAFTA nominated short film, directed by Nick Rowland. It is about a teen boxer (Joe Cole), who is forced to hide his secret passion for cross-dressing.

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.

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...

Activity 1: Evaluating publishing your work

When publishing my work from researching the professional short films, to coming up with my idea, to planning, through to the making of my short film, I primarily used this digital platform (Blogger). When researching the suggested short films, using a digital platform allowed me to post my initial ideas on the films, and then return to the area, having watched them again, in order to edit or add ti what I had initially taken from watching the films. This was useful as I was able to add to, and develop my ideas about the films on different occasions. In terms of planning my own film, I mostly planned my work on paper before transferring it onto the area for it to be published. This allowed me to collect my ideas, before placing them into an order and format that made the most sense to me. This reproduction of my work from paper to the digital copy, enabled me to find creative clarity in my ideas during the planning process. Other advantages of using this digital space was that everythi...
