My mood board

My mood board is a combination of everything I wish to include in my thriller opening sequence. 

When it came to designing my mood board, I came up with 3 main themes, Money, criminality and death. I then thought up some sub themes, such as guns, violence, the pursuit of freedom and female dominance. 


In order to convey the theme of criminality, I used a screenshot of the opening sequence from The Dark Night, when the joker kills his team in the robbery. (similar to our idea) However to fuse this with the theme of money, I cut out the body’s and used a background of a pile of money. This was to act as a metaphor to display their reason behind their actions. I then used a cut out of a man in a suit holding a gun but I cut the head off and drew Xs where his eyes were to suggest that death may be involved. As well as this, I then included a pile of bullets as another background overlapping the money to highlight the sub theme of guns as well as an explosion to imply violence. I then used a police car speeding, to show the a group of people were trying to escape from the police, exploring the theme of the pursuit of freedom. I then used a woman taking a mask off revealing her eyes and made it the biggest photo to depict the theme of female dominance. I then added the photo of the bank safe to give the mood board some context as it implies that there has been a bank robbery when combined with the other photos.

Analysing sound in a scene from Shutter Island

Image
In this essay I will be analysing the sound in a scene from Shutter Island. Martin Scorsese uses multiple sound techniques in order to show the audience specific themes in this scene and to give them an idea on what to look out for.  The sound pattern in the scene:  Classical music:  Start: Contrapuntal, non-diegetic sound - Parallel, diegetic sound -  Contrapuntal, non-diegetic sound  Middle: Parallel, diegetic sound - Parallel, non-diegetic sound, Contrapuntal diegetic sound - Parallel, diegetic sound  End: Contrapuntal diegetic sound - Parallel, diegetic sound. As the Teddy and Chuck are showed in to the office of Dr Crawley we start to hear classical music fade in. We then see a high angle shot of the building as the music gets louder transitioning into the indoors scene. From this we can assume it was used as a sound bridge to keep the scene flowing and catch the audiences attention as the scene progresses. After some dialogu...

The 'What if I go?' music video shares many of the same aspects that we aim to have for our music video and we have partially shaped our music video concept from this. The idea of youth culture in London is something that I feel is important and get's mis-interpreted a lot of time. This video breaks away from this and the viewers get an insight of what it's really like to be a part of the London youth culture. It also explores young love with the flirtatious couples in the video. The video has a very raw, gritty feel to it. It doesn't seem set up and has a genuine feel to it. This combined with the way the video has been shot and the aesthetics each shot leaves the viewers with a very clear and accurate idea of what the London youth is about. It's clear that the outfits that the people are wearing are clothes they wear everyday and haven't been asked to wear something that they feel uncomfortable in. It's also very clear that they are comfortable...

Finding our concept - Idea 2

Image
At first we decided to use t a combination of ideas for our 2nd concept however since then we have coe up with something completely  different to our last idea. This is what we had came up with before, heres a brief description  Aidan had wrote on his blog. "After combining our two previous ideas into one, we were now left wi a large gap to fill. This was a whole second idea we had to come up with and further develop. We took a lot more time thinking about this idea and making it different enough from the first one. However in the end we had decided on a final idea. Our second idea would incorporate my silhouette idea, and Mima’s animation idea. It would be a much more simple idea as it would involve only a rapper in the studio. He would be on a green screen that we would turn white or possibly just a white background and be rapping and dancing etc. Similarly to Bruno Mars’ music video of “That’s what I like” small animations would be around him or on him. Possibly ...
