Notes for evaluation

First lesson:
Intro:
Film idea : comedy lottery winning. intent to create shock and enjoyment.
follow daily life of character creating a sense of a boring life which is all turned around


The stutterer similarly shows a break from the usual lifestyle


The gunfighter similarly had a lack of realism in the comedic story line.


Curfews use of bold colours similarly reflected the change from reality. I attempted to reflect this through the change from dark scenery to light after Jacob receives the ticket.
Pitch black heist - edited into black and white - showed me ways in which to show a lack of emotion through a lack of colour. After watching over my initial footage I saw large amounts of bright colour worked against the boring and messy atmosphere I aimed to create. This is why i heavily took colour away from the shots up until Jacob receives the letter.
From connect I decided to use diegetic music which as Jacob leaves the room where the radio is continues at the same volume suggesting that it has become non- diegetic. The increase in volume in Connect gave the same effect mixed with the diegetic sounds of their surroundings, I found this made adding music feel more natural and manage to give the same effect. Furthermore the sudden change in mood was something I wanted to include in my short film, not when Jacob recieved the winning letter but when he slams the door on his girlfriend Amy. Here the romantic music cuts out with the door slam showing Jacob instantly changing priorities as soon as he comes into money I hoped the instant cut out of the romantic music would create a comedic sense of surprise in the viewer.
The short film wasp showed the effects of money on an entire family and how a lack of money forced the Mother to become selfish. After watching this I wanted to show the effects of coming into large sums of money and how the effects could become very similar.
Other film influence. The elevator.
Shaun of the dead - the under playing of what happens to the character.
