Pre Production

GENRE My film will not follow typical genre conventions, and the closest that it will come to a traditional genre is an art house thriller of sorts. My main influences are Gaspar Noe’s “Enter the Void” (more stylistically) and “Seul Contre Tous” (with presentation and narration) the Safdie Brothers’ “Good Time” (in terms of narrative and pacing). Although I am hugely influenced by these filmmakers, I will not let that get in the way of originality, and I will try to create an original piece that brings something new to the table without trying too hard to emulate these directors. This collage represents the aesthetic that I will try to attain in my work NARRATIVE Working title renaissance club Logline The neon filled revenge tale of Tommy, an empty and emotionless man whose brother was murdered brutally. The only piece of evidence of the murder is a videotape of it, which he watches over and over again. In his dreams he believes he sees truth, which he uses to investigate ...

Media Campaigns

In the modern day, media campaigns often utilise various different platforms alongside each other to create a strong bond between the product and the demographic. This can be very effective as you can target the set demographic through all angles of their lifestyle (for example by using social media alongside TV and print advertising all at the same time people will get the impression that they are seeing the product literally everywhere, furthering the bond with the audience). Campaigns also usually try to create cohesion between each channel of advertising by linking the various platforms and offering something new and different on each of them to engage the audience. I have chosen to cover Marvel’s Avengers Infinity War’s marketing campaign. The estimated budget for the film was $321 million, it was directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, and stars Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Don Cheadle, Tom Holland, and Chadwick Boseman am...

Mise-En-Scene Analysis - The Godfather/Rear Window

THE GODFATHER The film begins with extreme close up on a man’s face. The entire room around him is dark and the lighting is emphasized on the top of his head, making the rest of his face dark and turning him into a shadowy figure. His eyes are not visible, instead, his eyes are completely blacked out, and appear as two dark circles, creating a sense of secrecy as the situation seems mysterious. This shot continues for close to 3 minutes as he talks, slowly zooming out to slowly reveal a well lit desk with the unfocused silhouette of Vito Corleone’s back. As the scene cuts to show the protagonist, the light bleeding through the blinds behind him shows how isolated and professional the environment is. The costumes also demonstrate this, as all characters in the room are dressed in well maintained suits, along with the color grading, which gives the entire film an overall yellow and orange tone. This particular tint is associated with the past, as well as the time period (40s/50s) ...
