rough cut of my final film POST 17

-

 


what I still had left to do;
I had a lot more footage but realised I had almost reached the time limit so was going to play around with the ending, of which the footage was not the best anyway, and also with the beginning too. There was also a section where there is no video, I was intending to use that to signify the filming I didn't get done however on time issues reflection I would of removed this.
I did also not get a chance to import the sound I had chosen into my short film and I was hoping to figure out away to change the volume level of the argument at the start so it sounded more like it was coming from outside the room, not still the same volume as standing right in front of the camera.
I also was in the process of working out how to colour correct he footage in the woods so it had more of a blue hint, in fitting with my Tim Burton inspiration.

Short film planning

short film plan       Genres:  Horror- suspense = instant entertainment, easy to watch. However cannot be to gory or anything as I do not have accesses to SFX however I could do more research into make up effects. Action- would be hard to pull off, could contact local services to get necessary shots. It would be very entertaining and keep audience focus Crime/Mystery- something that keeps audience guessing trying to figure out what's going on, might be hard to do as everything ahs to be very particular, utilises all of mise en secene. Genres I really like: I like comedy films, however for coursework is not a good idea as if i don't make it funny it's an instant fail. I really like the fantasy however for coursework I feel that without a large budget of company support it would fall short of it's intended perpouse.  Short films I'd take inspiration from: Arrival (simple, intriguing/mystery) or The Fly (simple minimalistic, slight thrille

Real film- inspiration for short film???

On a recent particularly rainy day me and my dad sat down and watched the 2019 horror/mystery "Midsommar".  My dad thought it was too long and too boring and that it didn't make any sense. However, I thought that it was a very clever film that normalised what was happening. Once it had finished I reflected on how the outrageous and graphic some of the scenes were, I felt as though while watching it everything is done subtly and the "anti" is slowly upped so that in real time I felt less shocked or felt that some how these steps were rational in a way.  I also really enjoyed the juxtaposition of the naturalistic imagery of flowers and fields and cliffs and stone to the violent imagery of blood and suicide and graphic death. (Levi Strauss theory of binary opposites). I loved how they kept the audience guessing and left/revealed little clues and hints along the way so that in the end it all "made sense", I liked how the end left the audience wanting

 Tim  B urton   Timothy Walter Burton is an American filmmaker, animator, and artist. He is best known for his gothic fantasy and horror films such as Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow, Corpse Bride, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Dark Shadows, and Frankenweenie. Tim Burtons style is called Gothic suburbia its a very distinctive style. He combines 19th and 20th century visuals and images to create a  gothic  sort of film that has dark implications hidden in a children's movie, that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. I really feel inspired by his style and work. I want my film to have a gothic feel with darker more morbid undertones.  Here is a great article I found all about Tim Burtons evolution of his unique visual  aesthetics and style article about Tim Burton's style
