THIS & thaatttt.

Project Rationals.
okay so this is going to be LONGGGGG ass post.
But i just realised i have to write them for my uni course.

Moving Image.

For my moving image project i was given the script 'Poor Adhesion Site'
(https://now.ntu.ac.uk/d2l/lms/content/viewer/main_frame.d2l?ou=63212&tId=275403)
When i original first read through the script i was actually pretty confused as i was trying to figure what it was actually about, it jus didn't make much sense too me. However after about 30 minutes of thinking i realised i didn't really have to understand it all that much & try to make a rational film, soon realising that i could pretty much make anything out of the script.
After thinking & jotting down ideas for the film me & Harvey who i was working with agreed on trying to make the film quite dark & awkward. Listening to what other people were filming they seemed they were just following the script in a simple way all creating the same sort of film. I wanted to create something different, something dark, simple, awkward & with a twist.

Our idea was that instead of just having the main character (max) simply being filmed talking to his counsellor, we wold only film max himself in around 4/5 different shots trying to concentrate completely on the character...& some of the shots being from the perspective of what would be his character. Then at the end we would take a side long shot & slowly zoom out to reveal the whole room which then reveals the whole time max had been talking to somebody in his head & just an open space.

I Think Personally i took alot of influences from Roman Gavras, his way of creating a sort of dark social commetary and using quite powerful yet simple shots in his videos was something i admired. Also i think i took in fluence form alot of british films such as 44 inch chest, Sexy beast, Love Hounour & obey, these films all have a dark undertone, with alot of pshycological cut scenes from inside a characters head or bizarrre scenes of the character giving a cometary like the beginnign part of this clip from love, honour & obey.

We rushed our film quite a lot as we left it far too late! but we had huge problems with getting a location....i wasn't all to happy with our final location but it was better than nothing at all! & it could work with some editing visually.

Heres some UN-EDITIED screenshots from the film, i want to create a certain sort of visual style when i actually do edit it, i cant quite describe it but i may just photoshop these screen shots to show you another time.
