Not started / Started / Finished

Comparative Meeting #1

Screenplay – Ideas already started, finishing screenplay in next couple weeks

Cinematography – Locations are almost sorted as most of film is in isolated location

Director – Main character Phoebe is 17 as well as 2 siblings of the family so wouldn’t be too hard to cast. Maybe a single parent as that would be easier to cast – maybe a parent?

Next Meeting: Finish screenplay, have definitive locations and cast characters

Feminist Theory

ACTIVITY 1

ACTIVITY 2

Megan Fox – Transformers

She is the image being objectified by wearing a crop top and short jeans.

Chris Pratt – Guardians of the Galaxy

ACTIVITY 3

Marriage Story by Noah Baumbach – Nicole played by Scarlett Johansson

In Marriage Story, Scarlett Johansson’s character isn’t over sexualised in Marriage Story and seen as an equal to Adam Driver’s Charlie. This is shown as she wears very normal clothing such as shirts and long trousers as seen above. She is also not seen as a victim as she breaks the stereotype of the passive woman and not being gazed at, as she eventually becomes more powerful than the man (in the sense of gaining more custody of their child). Baumbach also gives her a larger role in the film as one of the leads rather than the ‘side female character’ in the film. This is shown through her large part in the film as viewed as she is on par with her ex-husband. Sexist stereotypes are also broken down as although she is still very caring and gentle, she can be as ruthless and aggressive as Charlie. This is evident as she presses for more custody of their son while also caring for Charlie after his breakdown when he is seen as the more fragile one (as seen below).

Even after this, neither person is to blame for the divorce and so this once again gives both male and female lead equal responsibility, adding to a more female-centric approach.

Eisenstein’s Montage Task

Intentions: We intended to make a story about a guy who fails his test which cuts to the ocean as his anger increases.

Cat and I intended to use an intellectual montage with elements of rhythmic when he slams his hand on the desk and metric as the scene is edited to cut every second when he gets his results back

Action: M:\Students\Year 12\Oliver Huelin\Portfolio\Montage

Evaluation: This went quite well as we were able to create the montages that we liked however the footage is slightly shaky and background noise that ruins the verisimilitude.
