Development

Film Development; 

 22.47 seconds; needs development through narrative. Perhaps more diverse shots of makeup application. 
Need's more of a narrative; perhaps a narrative focused on a breakup, or the development of emotions within a breakup.

 Third shot is cut too quick; needs a shot between two and three to aid transitioning of shots. 
Fourth, and dancing shots, are too early. Needs slower paced shots, perhaps with a larger frame to avoid a claustrophobic feel to the film. 

 Multiple shots to be intwined between third and fourth shot. 
Need to aid narrative; additional establishing shots of character, placing record onto turntable? fumbling through a bag?

 Potential title; Haploid.
Jefferson Airplane - Today; played during introduction.
April Come She Will
Scarborough Fair.

 Progress to walking scenes of contemplation; outside shots around park. Influenced by 'The Graduate'. 
Following shot of protagonist walking; single take shot, from side, of walking. Include objects in foreground of shot. 
Filmed through shallow focus. Shot to represent progression of characters emotions.

Aesthetics Of Trainspotting

What are the conventions of Social Realism? Location Non-Professional actors Social issues explored via emotional and dramatic stories Humour and seriousness Regional identities Locations means the story feels more true to life for the audience, allowing people to relate to the film. Real life issues are incorporated into social realism films, such as unemployment, gang violence and drug use. The films also use regional identities, such as accents, to allow the audience to relate. What kind of political ideologies are most associated with this style of film making? Economic status, political agendas, such as communism, violence and drug use. What is hyperrealism? An art which tries to be as true to real life as possible. It features almost no narrative structure and no character development. Reality can also be enhanced until it becomes unreal, such as the toilet scene in transporting where Renton retrieves pills.

Sinister ll Sound Analysis

Image
The scene begins with diegetic Christmas music, however the sound has a haunting tone and an odd progression, which makes the audience uncomfortable. The music is played alongside diegetic movie clips of a family on Christmas morning. The clip features no dialogue, and is instead played wholly against the music. The diegetic music comes from a gramophone, giving the sound an aged, crackling effect.  The sound then increases in volume to emphasise the distressing visuals of the clip. The music remains the same as before, a Christmas sound, however due to the visuals, the music is emphasised and made much more uncomfortable to the audience. Church bell chimes are also dubbed over parts of the music sequence, this emphasises the time of year and creates a link with religion. The juxtaposition between religion and the unsettling visuals again makes the audience uneasy, and emphasises fear within.  Sounds are played against th...

Trainspotting Scene Analysis

Volcano Club Scene (Edinburgh)  Begins 19.25 Ends 24.08 The scene begins with a cut transition from Renton and Sick Boy, who sit motionless on a sofa. The scene cuts sharply to the club sequence, with the introduction of loud diegetic music and an eccentric atmosphere of energetic movement, flashing light and bright colours. This is a major juxtaposition from the previous scene, featuring dull colours and stationary characters.  The scene features a short montage of characters within the club. Sick Boy sits with women, as does Begbie. Behind Begbie is a cocktail board, featured within the mise en scene, with all the cocktails named with sexual innuendo. This links with the sexual desire within the club. Renton stands on his own, and Tommy and Spud sit together. Renton, standing alone, may symbolise how he differs from the rest of the group. It may foreshadow later events, such as theft of the money. The montage clip switches to a long shot of Spud and T...
