6.Montage making - Filming practice


Montage

We have been looking at montages as possible ideas of what we can include in our short films. We watched the training montage from rocky. The use of montages tend to be used to show when large periods of time is passing as we do not have enough time to show absolutely everything that has happened. We also watched the montage in up, which is a montage of basically the whole life of a certain character.

After watching these montages, we attempted to make our own montage. Mine shows one school day of a student, and I ended up editing it to be a little over the top in a comical way, this is because nothing interesting really happened so i had to add the over the top music to engage the audience more, this film is shown bellow. If I was to have a montage in part of my short film that I am creating, I will make sure that there is a focus to what is being shown on screen or it will be a struggle to keep the audiences attention for a full 5 minutes.

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

9.my idea - setting, costume, props and casting

My Idea: I have decided to do a film focusing on the homeless, The reason I have chosen this is because I have already found a location that I would like to film, and am planning on moulding a story around this building that I have found: This building has a lot of character and many interesting features to film, for example, the broken windows, doors, and floorboards, as well as the graffiti all over the walls. I have had a look at another short film about a  homeless man (bellow) and taken some inspiration. I like the way that in this film, you feel sorry for the homeless man, I think I will do a similar thing but take it even further, instead of just feeling sorry for the homeless man, I will add another character who treats him badly, making him the enemy on screen. I like the idea of having binary opposites in my film, so I think that the two characters I am creating are going to be completely as different as possible. As I have already decided, I will hav
