Rushes

Rushes One: Unused Shot

The footage didn't look natural enough, because the actors were laughing, so i refilmed the same shot.

 

Rushes One: Used Shot

This footage was better because the actors were more relaxed and it didn't look as forced. However i have chopped the footage down so that you cannot see the laughing at the end.

Feminist Film Theory

Feminist Film Theory

Applying Feminist Film Theory to my film in the planning stages, opened a lot of opportunities for me to include in my filming. I made the female characters an object of desire for my protagonist and for the males in my audience. I was able to do this by using extreme close ups of the female anatomy, and dressing Mary in red, which not only suggests danger but desire. Lust doesn’t just mean in a sexual nature it is like a sexual need, James’ wants to eat his lovers, and by doing so also consumes them emotionally.

In Feminist film Theory, the woman is seen as a helpless creature and the man always holds sovereign power, this applies to my film and men can associate with the main character James because as well as objectifying the women they mirror themselves into James and see themselves as a powerful , dominant figure. This also allows the audience to feel like the male protagonist.

Costume

James Malum

Band Stand & Walkway
James is wearing a maroon jumper and scarf to suggest that he is a wealthy man. To begin with, it appears as though James is a regular man.

James' Home

James is wearing a white shirt, white usually suggests innocence but i used white because i wanted to subvert audience expectations. This also gives the impression that he is a smart, respectable man.

The Beach

James is wearing a tweed jacket to support the idea that he is a wealthy, respectable man. The dark shirt underneath was used to represent that he has a dark interior shrouded by the image of his wealth.

Interior

James is wearing a dark red jumper to suggest that his true intentions towards Mary are becoming clearer. It suggests that he is a dangerous character.

The Cliffs

James is wearing a smart coat to suggest that he is a wealthy man and to make a good impression towards Belle.

Mary

Band Stand & Walkway

Mary is wearing a red dress to suggest that she is in danger. The red is symbolic of her blood that will be spilt later in the film.

The Beach

Mary is wearing a white shirt to represent her innocence and a red scarf to symbolise that she is in danger. The brown coat is to suggest that she has dressed smartly to impress the wealthy James.

Interior

I wanted to suggest that Mary wasn't wearing any clothes here, that all she was wearing was the neckalce. This was to suggest that there was an element of lust in the relationship and that James wasn't what he appeared to be.

Belle

The Cliffs

Belle is wearing a red jumper to suggest that she is in danger and that she is James' next victim.

Music Ideas

Claude Debussy

Claire De Lune

I wanted to use this piece of music because the piano is very delicate and sounds romantic. It is also assosiated with many Romantic films. I didn't use it because i wanted something more up-tempo to match the cinematography in my film.

Muriel Anderson

El Noi de la Mare

I wanted to use this piece of music because it sounds very romantic and peaceful, therefore subverting audience expectations. However, i didn't like the sound of the guitar, i wanted to use a piano. I also wanted something a bit mor eup-tempo.

Yann Tiersen

Comptine d'Un Autre Été
From the film Amelie [Jean-Pierre Jeunet, 2001]

I decided to use this piece of music for my final cut because as well as being romantic there seems to be an underlying tone of despair. As well as this, the tempo is very upbeat and fits with the style of my editing.

Bj Thomas
