Film Ideas (Developed)
Opening Scene - Protagonist applying make-up in the mirror; shots influenced by Warhol's Screen Test, incorporating deep lighting with high contrast. Over the shoulder shot, filming profile in the mirror. Music to be played in the background, potentially diegetic to create a realism within the scene. Extreme close-up shot of the protagonist applying eye make-up; focus on the prominent, dark eye liner, which contrasts to the pale skin and deep, shadowing light. I intend to create an experimental film through the use of cinematography; this means i do not require a narrative, however i shall incorporate a minor storyline to immerse the audience. This could be a short narrative about the protagonist discovering herself, created through a series of visuals which influence her character. On the other hand, i could reveal the protagonist to the audience through a series of visuals. I intend to shoot the film entirely in black and white, both for aesthetic effect and influence period
