 Every film director has an auteur signature and it is needed to bring a film character and add personal touches that make the film better as a whole as the director has clearly re-used techniques that they enjoy so it gives the film more individuality as each auteur has their own individual style and signature  A prime example of Ridley Scott’s Auteur style in Blade Runner is when Deckard is being shown the Replicant’s by the police chief????? As there are many elements to this scene which are true to Scott’s Auteur style and his motivations to do the film. Visually the scene fits his auteur style as he uses smoke to cover the two characters faces, which establishes the genre as noir but it is also part of Ridley Scott’s style which we also see throughout the film, he uses a lot of smoke in this dystopian Los Angeles to show just how dystopian it all is. The use of Technology in this scene is interesting because again it establishes the genre as science fiction and this is a ...

  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 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 ...

Initially i had the idea to do a horror film which also uses old Hollywood glamour. The idea was a horror movie actress becomes desensitized to gore and murder and becomes fascinated with real crime and murder whilst also spiralling down a drug infested path. She eventually becomes so obsessed with murder and becomes obsessed with the idea of committing a murder she goes on a killing spree, I had the idea to have a graphical match cut of her raising an award and knife. I feel this would be an interesting narrative and could do interesting stuff with cinematography but there isn't substance behind it and a reason for it. Another idea I had was inspired by the OJ Simpson trial and the medias treatment of prosecutor Marcia Clarke. I really enjoy films where Genders are swapped and when men and womens roles are switched because I always feel they really do showcase the misogyny in society. I also feel women are still only viewed for how they look and what they wear despite their many...

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.

Short film analysis – About a girl   This short film depicts the life of a young girl from a deprived area in the north of England, for the majority she depicts a chaotic but not uncommon life for most people of that social standing for the majority of the film however it turns very dark very quickly with the mentioning of the dog bein killed and the baby thrown into the canal. The jump cuts used continually used throughout increased the pace, the use of the handheld tracking shots which are a social realism convention made what she was talking about real. Throughout the song ‘stronger’ by Brittany Spears is used as a motif, originally I believed it was to showcase how this girl wants to escape her situation but this changed at the end of the film. The shock factor of the baby and the dog was effective as it creeps out the audience because it’s so out of place in regards to what is being said by this little girl who’s just recounting her life. The mise-en-scene of the de...
