New Pitch for Katie Massey, Trinity Poole and Tommy Kha. We propose instead of doing stop motion which was suggested was too difficult to do instead a scene at night with a theme of running away. This will still be incorporating photography because of the lighting needed for this movie and the concept which was inspired by a photographic series. We will be doing this in Arlington on a farm to create a feel of isolation and also have free reign on where we shoot. We will not be including audio with this to allow the viewer to solely focus on the visual aspects.
List of Props:
Lit Lantern
Not sure on clothing yet... will be decided throughout the week (we welcome feedback)
Location:
A farm located in Arlington.
Shot at night time.
Talent:
Kristen Rambo
What's working: I think that running away, in the dark, with only the lit lantern for light will create some really neat compositions, as well make for a visually interesting piece. The inclusion of the lantern is a nice addition, and if you make it the talent's "only friend" throughout the piece, it will be very interesting. Treat the lantern as a character itself, and it will be very compelling.
ReplyDeleteWhat needs work/ clarification: What is she running away from, or why? If you plan on making us just see her running, I think that you need to really convey the sense of fear with your talent, shots, and edits. Make us feel uneasy from your editing. Because if you just have her running, it'll look like someone just... running. There will be no emotion, and the films intent will be lost. Mostly, I have a vague Idea of what ya'll are trying to do, but without clearer shots laid out, or a stronger narrative, I can't visualize it. And a strong narrative is what this needs. Not in the sense that, "O, this girl is being chased by a monster and she risks her life by running in the woods." But by using an arcing structure, with a clear beginning and resolution, it will resonate with the audience.
I don't have a very good idea of that's going on with this new idea. I'm assuming that this is stop motion although it's not actually said. What is going to be the purpose of this running away? Why is the person running away? What are they running from? there aren't many hints given as to what the film will be about. it sound like your going to be focusing more the experimental nature of this assignment mote than anything else.
ReplyDeleteYou are all photo majors and very god at what you do so I can imagine that each individual photo will look good and I just hope that you manage to put it together in a way that you don't loose the quality of each photo in this movie.
I would like to know a bit more on what exactly this will be about besides running in a farm at night by lantern light. I look forward to seeing what this will be about and what it will look like.
I can't give much of an opinion on this piece as I really don't truly understand what it's about and I don't want to making silly and stupid comments in ignorance.
