Coursework idea

Very Rough Coursework idea

The main synopsis of the short film. A person who is leaving home. Spends his last day with a few close friends. Here he reminisces about the good times he has spent over the years.
. Scene 1:

The film would most likely start in a house with a group of friends hanging out, playing video games etc. The characters are shown conversing however the dialogue is mute. However, there will be a sad song in the background. It is not immediately clear that the main character is leaving home. It will be made to look like just another day. However, I want the main character to walk out of the room, look back and there is close up of his face as he smiles.

Scene 2:

 Friends saying goodbye. Here there will be a few lines of dialogue included. Fades from person to person. Top down shot of person walking away emphasises a building distance between characters.

 Scene 3:

 Main character goes in a car and is driven off.

This works for Shaun of the Dead as each character could fall into these brackets. Shaun is the obvious hero, Ed is the obvious sidekick and it could be said that the villains are the zombies themselves. Liz is the princess character as she is the typical love interest. Yvonne could be described as the helper or the donor character due to her help in the narrative. Dave is the false hero which is primarily seen in the middle of the film where he tries to shoot Shaun's mother after the revelation that she has been bitten by a zombie as well as when it is revealed that he is in love with Liz. The story is driven by these characters and how they respond to zombies attacking them. Barthes theory: Narratives are a series of codes that are read and interpreted by the audience. These...

Comparison of "Do the Right thing" and "Casablanca"

Comparison of "Do the Right thing" and "Casablanca" 'Casablanca' and 'Do the right Thing' both contain themes that strongly affected the world at the time: World War 2 and racial injustices respectively. These films both contain characters that likely contain the viewpoints of the director and go with the message that they are trying to portray. For example, in Rick's bar the French people stood up to the Germans by singing the national anthem. Both films have obscure camera angles that add to the film. Do the Right Thing has the use of diagonal camera angles to show confusion and unsettling moments between the character. Casablanca, on the other hand, mainly goes to a diagonal angle when the German officer is shot showing that it is an important plot point in the narrative. They The directors of the film are both described as ' auteurs'-  film directors who influences their films so much that they rank as their author. They bo...
