11. Rough Cut

Rough Cut



Things I need to change for the final film:

  • A few more establishing shots of the different locations
  • Generally more long shots (I feel as though the whole film is too close to the camera all the time)
  • The window shot needs to be re-filmed as my finger is in it
  • Wider shots of the two characters as they wake up to distinguish between the different locations
  • Re-film rich looking through his wallet
  • Long shot of the poor man getting ready (to show off the setting more)
  • Re-film the close up of the poor man getting ready so he is more central
  • Fridge scene needs to be more obvious that the juice is empty and how he is annoyed to have to be drinking water
  • Poor man needs to enjoy the water more
  • A Better transition from the poor man drinking to counting the money
  • Need to film the ending at the shop to round it all off

1. Research into existing, professionally made, short films

Watching short films Operator: By the title of this short film, I expect that it may be relatively tense. I think that there will be one main character, who is the operator, and they may be controlling something very important. These expectations were relatively right, it was about a call operator for the fire service, they were directing a very stressful call where a woman and her child were trapped in a burning house, waiting to be rescued. We were focused on the operator the whole time and despite the fact that she sounded like she was staying calm throughout, we could see on her face that she was worried herself. As the short film ends, the phone call cuts off and she moves straight onto a new phone call, without finding out the end of the traumatic experience. I found this idea for a short film to be very creative as it challenged how with generic film, the audience are focused on the location where all the action is whereas here we are the other end of the phone c...

4.The 3 act Structure, Vladimir Propp, Genre

Features of short film Vladimir Propp  Vladimir propp was a literacy critic born in 1895, his idea is that a certain type of character is part of every narrative structure These characters are: Hero/anti-hero-  This is someone that the audience invests their support, no matter weather they're good or bad Villain- They are against the villain, the hero wouldn't be needed unless they have someone to go against them Helper- Assists the hero in their mission False Hero- This is someone who takes credit for the heroes actions and is often not as they seem Dispatcher- Sends the hero off on their quest, for example the princesses father. Donor- Aids the hero by giving something Princess- Is in need of help and is often the prize at the end, generally saved by the hero There are examples of these in almost any film. For example nick fury in avengers, he would be the dispatcher as he gathers the heroes together and sends them off to fight ...

7.'Generating ideas' idea- Planning

Randomly generated ideas One way that you can generate ideas is at random. we did this by having a grid with different characters, locations, situations, objects, and when it occurred, we then chose numbers at random that corresponded to each of these. After doing this, i got: a swarm of bees where everyone is weightless alone on a strange planet with a golden hammer in a few weeks  If i was to create a film about this scenario, it would be a sci-fi film about a space explorer, this explorer may come across a strange planet and goes to check it out, it at the start he thinks it would be a great planet for humans to live on as there is oxygen in the atmosphere and thousands of different plant life. However once venturing down a cave, he discovers the truth about why the ecosystem is so great. There would be a swarm of giant bees living in the cave which pollinate all of the plants, as there is no gravity on the planet, the man must fly away from the bees and there is a...
