Film Style: Experimental (silent)
Themes: The interruption of man into the natural world
Content: Movement of natural objects to become man-made objects to create a circle of destruction, highlighting the message that the man-made world does not belong in the natural environment. Emphasis on how man has no respect for the natural world and how the landscape has changed due to man.
James has drawn an original storyboard to try and organise ideas.
We then met on the day following the project brief and used these ideas to come up with a detailed plan of the film's 'narrative'. The plan now is to work on storyboarding every shot, and then to follow this with a detailed shot list in order to be fully prepared on location. We have also taken note of the props that we need to buy, and will be sourcing these over the weekend so that we can practice using them to our advantage.
We have already got together and found good locations to use, and have had these in mind while planning the frames. The areas of Edale that we would like to use are called Barber's Booth, Jacob's Ladder, and Kinder Low.
Our piece will also experiment with editing techniques. For a few shots in the film, we will film the same action in several different places in order to cut the action into several small pieces and iece them together to create a movement with a changing background. I have experimented in order to see whether this is going to be possible, and my trial worked well.
Potential Problems: Because our piece is heavily based on the movement of inanimate objects, we need to come up with a cohesive and well rehearsed plan on how we are going to get them to move the way we want them to. One big help would be to use invisible string, which we would then edit out in after-effects.
Our second problem is the likely possibility of severe weather conditions. For this reason we need to have a self-fashioned camera protection system ready to take with us, and we must have appropriate clothing ready to wear.
