Coursework Evaluation

Image
Representation: Mise-en-scene - I created a short film which demonstrates an extreme result of being covetous which includes other sins based around the seven deadly sins from the bible. Others include “sloth” and “greed”. I attempted to portray this to the audience with the different uses of the micro elements of film form. The most prominent being character expression and costume. With costume I went with a smart shirt and tie however I wanted the costume to imply laziness and lack of care, so I had the shirt untucked, tie undone and wrinkled the shirt. This gives the “sloth” sin impression as the character looks lazy and unprofessional. This is emphasised with the setting of the introduction. An empty classroom at 4 o’clock, giving the impression the character is in detention.

Coursework Test Footage:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AU-xbJw6xqA Simple test of making things appear. Added an opacity fade as it's almost being generated rather than just appearing. There is supposed to be a high pitched sound effect that plays as the mug phases into existence however after exporting from premiere, it doesn't play. Apparently it's a problem to do with H.264 files. If this problem is to occur during the final version of the film, I am going to have find a solution. I attempted two different angles, one with a transition effect. The first being a still camera sat in one place, the second being a fast pan.

Montage Sequence

In class we watched the Rocky Training Sequence and the Up opening scene which are montages that take place over an elongated period of time in the film, but displayed in a couple of minutes, with some cases being a couple seconds. We attempted to create something similar with a character doing something over a period of time, but condensed into a small montage using the inspiration from these examples. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=632hVDL_N6w  <-- Rocky Montage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2bk_9T482g  <-- Up Opening Scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lmbLwvgtHE  <-- The montage we created in class.
