the sound in the film was very clear, there was not much music, the ride up to the Captains house had classical but also a bit ominous to show that nothing good is going to come out of travelling to live with them. when Ofelia would go down to see the faun there would be some very faint tunes. Also Mercedes would sing to the young girl to help her sleep.
there was some good Mise-en-scene in the film, the costumes they used really set the time that they lived in. certain props like the jugs of milk and the different meals you can tell that it was the 1940s. the way the set was very old fashioned, like the brick houses and the old cabins.
i chose this as my iconic shot because it showed how much they really did love each other and they use each other for safety, this summed up the film for me because it really set an opinion on Ofelia and that even though she was going to leave to the afterlife she still had a bond with her mother that cannot be broken.
my most memorable scene was near the end when Ofelia decides to not sacrifice her brother just to become a princess, it was very memorable because it showed how much she would do for her family.
i thought the dim lighting and the dull weather really set the mood of what was happening and it made us all feel the same way Ofelia is feeling in that moment
ill give the film a 9/10- i thought it had a really good storyline and it was very interesting, it kept me wanting to watch it.
The Genre that I will be doing is a thriller/ horror, because i find horror is a lot more interesting than any other genre.
the story i am basing my film off is the short film of ‘the rats’. i chose this sort film because I thought the storyline was very interesting and I thought it was entertaining.
I will be having a narrator telling you about the story in the background, kinds like being in someone’s mind and telling the audience your thoughts.
bonnie and Clyde- gender, Bonnie should be a subservient, feminine and rule obeying woman but she is the complete opposite.
bonnie and Clyde- ethnicity, there is only one black man who follows the orders of his white boss, he is not a normal human, he is considered a worker.
Casablanca- gender, Ilsa is portrayed as a feminine, soft and a subservient woman, as that was the stereotypical ideal woman.
Casablanca- ethnicity, there is only one black man in the film and he is considered a entertainer or a worker not as a human being.
the short film Pasternak had a lot of different audio sounds, the best use of audio was when they were at the very beginning, the lady was walking through the airport and you could hear her heels tap across the hard floor and you could also hear her suitcase rolling against the tiles next to her. in the background you could hear lots of different noises like people talking and even planes taking off. the visual element of this beginning scene was a floor shot, it was really low to the ground and we was following her feet and all we could see was her feet and blurred feet in the background. the next scene that had good audio was when they were on the plane and the woman started talking to the man and you could hear all the other background noises of the plane engine in the back and other people muttering towards each other, the visual had the focus on the first two people and the other people blurred in the background of the plane talking to each other, the last one that caught my eye was the very last scene where he crashes into his parents. the audio was calm and you could hear a light breeze and birds chirping and then you can slowly hear the plane getting louder and louder as the scene goes on before he crashes, the visual is very calm but we can see the plane from far away slowly getting closer so we know what is about to happen to them, but they do not expect it so they are still sat calming reading the newspaper and drinking their tea, not expecting what was going to happen.
