Representation


     

    Our film represents mental illnesses and the effects it has on people.  We are portraying a person experiencing the effects of a harsh psychosis. The entire hallucination seems dream-like and too perfect for reality, like it is from hallucinogen. We will be focusing on the element of confusion with how the world around the main character and how Faelon is ill. I feel the only edits we may really need to be making the side characters seem too happy and bright.

Movie Analysis: Coraline       In the “Passage to them Other World” scene, you can see a variety of angles used. For example , the tilted angle when she chases the little mouse to the tiny door connecting to the Other World , it provides a n odd essence to the scene. You can see all the different angles of the mouse, upside down, sides, and right side up. In an odd way, it also foreshadows the backwards place he brings Coraline. As the scene continues you can a POV shot while she crawls through the tunnel in the small door. It gives an almost magical effect, and it gives you the feeling as if you are crawling through it yourself. The shot is quickly followed to w hen she sees the Other Mother for the first time, there is a close on her face, but mainly on her button eyes .

Movie Opener Brainstorm and Research

 Movie Opening 1: RISE      This movie opening about a kid seemingly practicing for a soccer match and proceeds to stare down the seemingly opponent. Natural lighting is use throughout the film. Various close ups are used to show the importance of the objects and movements. One key close up seems to be of the main character and his opponent. This seems to be a classic "who will win?" scene.     The most influential part of this film that had on my group project was the lighting. I like the natural lighting coming from the sun outside. I plan on having most of my film outdoors for the bright and joyful light that the sun provides. Movie Opening 2: Dear Lover     In this short film, it is about a girl who ran away from home because her lover's family had such a good relationship with her, and she knew they would never accept her lover. A somber tone is felt throughout the whole film. In the end, she and her lover are sitting by the lake, contemplati...
