Cinematic and Narrative ideas

Cinematic ideas 


We have decided to do a social realism film, about suicide prevention and the issues like bullying within schools. To portray the aspect of suicide prevention we originally were going to use a split screen to two peoples day side by side whiter very similar (going to the same place, in the same place. In the backgrounds of each others POV) and one tried to commit suicide at the end, but the second pop stops them and the shots match up perfectly for the only part in the film.

By using POV shots it can demonstrate how the issues referenced to in the film happen to thousands across the country and world and can really happen to anyone. It also allows us to have the other actor in the background so the two sides of the screen kind of match up but not perfectly. This is to showcase that many people deal with thoughts of suicide but we can never know who they are.

Narrative ideas

 In our film we have a narrative with a conflict between two characters, which we can see when 2 characters are talking about the other behind their back. At the end the conflict is arguably solved when one character prevents the other from committing suicide. This is to show that we took bit more time for people, even if we don't like them, we can stop teen suicide from happening.

We were also thinking of doing a narrative with an enigma, and we'd do this by not showing the characters in each others povs until the very end. this would've been done to show that even if we don't know someone very well or at all we should help them because it's in our human nature

screenplay as of 25/11/2020

Typewriter font- California 1995 1:00AM on a black screen. Fades out to a BLANK SCREEN ONLY SOUND IS CLOCK TICKING "MARCIA" A curly haired man with an athletic build in a scruffy suit with the top buttons undone and a faint stain on his white sirt. Is sat at his incredibly messy desk with piles of papers and empty fast food containers smoking a cigarette surrounded by papers and documents the office is dark and messy. The walls are grey and the overall feel of the room is very drab and depressing, which the fmily photos upon the desk juxtapose. Marcia has heavy bags under his eyes and messy hair sticking up everywhere. He leans back in his chair sighing, he quickly becomes frustrated with the thought of the trial and it's fustrations which we see through his body language and facial expresions being very slouched over and having little expression in his face. He stands and throws the desks contents to the ground in a fit of fustration. He stands breathing heavily looking...

Short film analysis 2 Connect

This short film follows a woman on a bus at night in a busy city. The film uses eyeline matches to establish relationships between the man and the woman as the nature of their exchanged looks gives us a sense of a flirtatious relationship. When the elderly woman is shot for the bus seat by another passenger it shows that in society we always go the extreme. There is a shot of the woman we are following and the man from before' s hands, they obey the rule of thirds at first staying on other sides of the screen and not using the middle third. However they invade the central third but are separated by people getting off the bus, this could be representative of society impacts our relationships and comes between thigs we maybe are destined for. The synchronized movements at the end are also a testament to how society conditions people to be the same and just be part of a machine and crushes any individuality.

Ideas for short film

Originally, we were planning on a horror and thriller hybrid, and it was going to be about someone just going about their day, but it was to be revealed at the end they're a ghost with a shot of a train passing by and when it has left there being an empty space where the person previously was. It was also going to have a social realism aspect of suicide, as it was also going to be revealed that they'd committed suicide by jumping in front of a train. Another possible idea would be a film that focuses on basic problem as a film centred around social realism through a metaphorical way. For example dividing everyone into two catagories and bringing in a 'Romeo and Juliet' element to show that the two groups are not as different as a metaphorical way to deal with social issues that are imbedded into our society.  However we strayed from those idea and have decided to do a film about a psycho stalker who kills the subject of their obsession, it again has an element of s...
