new way of looking

with this brief we had to make a 2 minute film showing something we see every day but don't really notice for example, the day of a pair of shoes, what happens in their life and what goes on, basically telling a story, i decided after a lot of primary research and came up with a theme of 'nature fighting back'. i had taken images and clips of nature pushing back against modern day infrastructures for example a tree root growing under and cracking concrete, a tree growing into and destroying metal fences etc. i also got secondary research and my favourite was the clip in the film Narnia where tree roots destroy the man made wooden catapult at 1 minute 20 seconds it shows the narrative of how I'm approaching this theme.

another scene from Narnia is the scene where the river destroys the man made bridge, it also symbolises     my idea of what I'm doing.

a point of view

this small brief got me to look closely at things and what i wouldn't normally notice. I looked closer to find and catch a image that tells a story in a single frame by using staging.

 i staged this piece to show a strong narrative, that emotions can't as easily be washed away, i believe this catches that story in this one shot and thats what i set out to achieve.

Frank Morgan edit

to show out editing skills we were given various cut scenes and we had to construct them to flow with a voice over we were given to go along with the story. This attempt i added a false start to fool the audience into thinking it was a calm clip, but then it cuts into the tense scene. i also added music i thought was appropriate and set the mood. i believe my attempt was a really decent effort and i found weaving the cut scenes together was really easy for me and i spent my time making the jump from each scene perfect.
