Short Film Notes/Ideas etc

Simple yet effective - Sweeney Todd vibe and colour palette?
 - use of the Dias Irae music, orchestral and pop music (instrumental)
Mafia, sociopathic, gothic, with pops of colour where necessary
 - plot could be based on siblings that are brutal and lack emotion that kill and torture for the sake of it. Use of light and contrast to separate destinations like Curfew.
 - personality trait changes slightly as more events happen.
 - use of sound is key, adding quiet and precise music can help create tension etc.
 - "Knives Out", "Parasite", "Sweeney Todd", "Coraline" ~ Film Inspo
 - "Middle of the night - Monsta X" "Black Swan - BTS" "Coming of age ceremony - Park Ji Yoon" ~ aesthetic inspiration.
 - style - hair slicked back, dark, formal and regal, chunky boots, harnesses? dark eyeshadow, neat-freaks. fashion resembles the following images and aesthetics:
 - uses camera angles and shots that La Jetee uses (low/high angles)

 ~ woman - femme fatale, snobby, doesnt like getting dirty, sarcastic, has intense duality
 ~ man - likes to get bloody, goofy, has a pure side which changes very quickly, also has intense duality.
Another concept:
 - a film based on Dissociative Identity Disorder that shows the reality and places them in a positive light (Unlike Split - which makes the DID patient the villain)
 - uses colour change and lighting to show each personality/alter.
 - change in aesthetic.
 - use sounds and imagery to create the effect of dissociation
----> might combine this idea with one of the characters from the first concept.
 - Have the duality of the female be revealed for being her DID alter's taking over (gloss over the cause of the disorder, not too triggering) and clarify how the brother doesn't have the disorder (age)

Evaluation-film

 When creating my film, I wanted to take inspiration from many films I had watched in hopes to create an interesting mafia-style film with murder and revenge. I wanted the film to show the perspectives of people working in a mafia and how they felt killing people and how those people affected them. I decided early on that I wanted colour to represent emotions and make a difference on how the characters are projected as, for example, when killing cold-heartedly the saturation would be close to nothing, but when they experience sadness or anger, the colour would be increased just enough for the viewer to notice. I also wanted the film to muffle out noise at certain times to create a feeling of dissociation and 'zoning-out'. This colour effect I took inspiration from is seen in films like Curfew  where rooms have different coloured lighting to set the atmosphere and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street where colour helps emphasise the dramatics and the overall depressing

short film analysis -1,2,3 & 4

Curfew:  In Curfew, the film has a constant use of colour to help show the contrast between different environments and to set the mood between the characters we follow through the film. The the dirty red used when the man is self-harming in the bathroom and matches the phone he answers which stop him from cutting. The bright, neon blues of the bowling alley create a more exciting and nostalgic atmosphere that could call a person back to their childhood. the dirty browns and almost sepia-toned filter when the man visits a building to retrieve his things it creates a disturbing atmosphere that isn't suitable for a child. The usage of the lights are significant when he takes the child home and some lights are lit, one being pink - this could represent a bond being made between uncle and niece. The red colour is used the most with there being a reference to the self harm the main character does, like the red car lights seen when he takes the bus home to resume what he was doing. The l

Trainspotting Question

"How does the aesthetic quality of Trainspotting depict ideological issues of youth and addiction?" You must refer to two scenes.  In the film Trainspotting , the aesthetic is used carefully to represent the ideological issues of the youth of the time and the additions of 1990's Scotland. We see this in the scene where Renton swims in 'The Worst Toilet in Scotland' where the scene opens with Renton being given suppositories in an abandoned apartment. The lighting is natural and the design of the furniture in the room presents the appearance of a drug dealer of the decade - a mattress with old blankets, alcohol bottles and bare plaster and poorly-painted wall shows his low as a man surviving of dealer income. The camera angles shows the dealer being lower in shots to show his standard of living in this time. Renton is placed at the top showing he is still at a higher point as he still has family and friends to rely on when he gets low. The non-diegetic music play
