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

Directors infulence essay

The most important influence on a film can be described as the Auter, which is usually discussed in relation to the director but could also be anyone who takes creative control of a project. For example, the film Blade runner the auter can be described as Ridley Scott The director or even some of the actors, like the actor who played Batty. He could be described as an auter because his final monologue he wrote himself, therefore making him, arguably, an auter of Blade Runner. The director is the most important part of the film in regards to how its shot and the plot, but not always the finished product. Studios tend to mess with films and the directors vision for finished product is not always brought to light and the studio can mess with films so much post and during production that its far from the directors original vision. Blade Runner and The Lady from Shanghai are two excellent examples of this. Both films the directors were restricted artistically and budget wise. Warner ...

Screenplay- the media vs women

  Marcia has bag 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. He stands and throws the desks contents to the ground. He stands breathing heavily before running a hand through his hair and falling to the ground to clear up the mess. He picks up a few documents before a magazine (!!! This magazine MUST have the picture actually leaked but with everything covered by a black bar) with leaked nude photos of them at the beach. He stands inspecting the magazine running a hand through his hair and a look of sad curiosity while inspecting the magazine cover (if possible will cut to footage of Marcia crying in court or news coverage of when it came out) His look turns to a frustrated anger and he chuck the magazine into the overflowing bin which is overflowing with cigarettes and a bottle of vodka. Rubs his hands together and returns to the task. After sifting throug...

Cinematic and narrative ideas

Cinematic ideas Something very important I would like to incorporate in my film is the use of actual footage from the trial and the media at the time- as I feel it would make people who experienced the OJ trial to reminisce on the trial, the media’s treatment of Marcia Clarke and their own treatment of her. As at the time there were very mixed opinions on the prosecutor. Something else I feel is very important for me to incorporate is having it all set in one location and only having “Marcia” in the film as it is all reflecting their experiences. I intend for the muse en scene to be very dark and grey as I feel they reflect feeing lifeless and trying to not stand out which is arguabley how she felt at the time, with all the media attention bartering her and criticing her for being a woman and trying to not stand out for her gender and be seen as equal in the courtroom Narrative ideas When it comes to the narrative I want to keep the time and date of the film ambiguous in terms of ...
