PROGRAMME TITLE: Slow Motion Impact

DIRECTOR/
CAMERA OPERATOR: Harry Gee-Woolley

DURATION: 5 Minuets

FORMAT: DV

AUDIO: Music

OUTLINE OF AUDIENCE:
I’m going to aim my film to be a film for every body because the message is for everyone not just one age group because the premise of the film is about life and everyone has a life so it applies to all.






OUTLINE OF STORY
My story is on how fast life is about and how people should slow down and not live life in the fast lane. People don’t slow things down in real life they walk fast and talk fast and work fast and in my film I’m going to slow down peoples lives.

or show how hetic life is by having one person going slow with everyone walking around them and cars going fast with someone going really slow so it looks like the worlds going by while there watching it going at the hetic pace.









CHARACTERS:
There are no characters in my film there are only real life people.

My Film Overview

My Experimental Film Overview.
Director: Harry Gee-Woolley

Length : Aprox 5 mins

Visual: I want my film to be in colour with and to make it go slow to give the effect of slow it down. I want to do this in the town centre and around college also I would like to try and get somewhere which is unusual and unique with some new ideas of camera angles and weird places to film!

Audio: I want to use some funny music which will make people laugh and think why I have chosen this track because it its notorious of being a very fast track but I am going to slow it down so it’s a very slow track to go with my very slow visual.

Premise: The premise will be that everything in life is at a fast pace so why can’t we slow down and enjoy what life is and how life should be at the pace you want it to be.

thoughts: I want the audience to think about why I have slowed down my film and why ive slowed down the track and I want people to laugh.

6. The audiences interpretations are very different because we all have are own opinions so no persons review will ever be the same but could be similar. For girl chewing gum the old technology and black and white and the distasteful camera work which would put off many people like me but some people in my class found it funny so they might of liked it but the film was not of my taste. Telling lies was a comedy that every one loved this is because we all like to have a laugh and have some fun while were watching a film were as when a film is boring people lose the plot and don’t watch it to give a full and proper review everyone in the audience will love this film because they know it’s a true analysis of themselves so they can relate to the film and they feel involved also in Gisele Kerosene the weirdness of the film makes you just want to laugh and that’s what you do while your watching it laugh at the pure brilliance and the pure weirdness of the film it’s a film that makes the audience think as well as laugh and this was for the whole class the reaction to the films were the same as each other but we all have are own opinion on what the films about and we all like different parts of the films and we all hate parts which someone may love. an indervidual interpritation is good and important because when you are going to make another film you know what to change and what to do to make the audiance like it.

5. The experimental films I have viewed have inspired me and made me think how I can incorporate parts of their films into my work and has give me a big idea for what I want to do like a stop motion animation or black and white or have a text based film or have all these things but in one film its opened my imagination and ideas to anything that is possible. the main way i want to do my slow motion tho is to speed everything up while some one is walking ultra slow to give the idea of hectic.

3. John smith’s girl chewing gum does have a basic narrative structure but it doesn’t really have much of an introduction but you can see the basic beginning middle and end of this film. Just like Telling lies by Simon Ellis this has a beginning a middle and an end to the film. So does the film Gisele Kerozene it has a brief beginning a brief middle and an ending so all these films compare these features. They all have in common a narrative structure even if some of them are brief. A narraticve is important in most films it is a traditional aspect of films it is important because everyone knows what a narrative is there brains register what a begging a middle and an end is.

2. The use of technology has changed in the last 30 years since john smiths girl chewing gum you can tell starting with the camera techniques the camera work and angles are weak in comparison to the stop motion animation of Gisele Kerozene and you can’t compare camera angles with telling lies because there are no camera shots in this film telling lies has a different class of its own because the writing is timed perfectly with the audio soundtrack which is being played also the pace and rhythm of the films are completely different to each other because they are different era’s and different genre’s of film.Were as with koyanataski it is a high product film with a very high budget so they can afford to get the best of everything and get the best cameras in the world and then because the cameras are of a high quality they can get high quality shots were as the other films can't. All the films are modern of there time and of there technology so the technology they use is probably the best they can buy but because we have advanced so far to nowdays it makes films like girl chewing gum look really awful in technology but it is very good to the people of the 70's also it shows that you don't need a big budget to make a film.

1.The 3 main artists I have chosen are John smith (girl chewing gum), Jan kounen (Gisele Kerozene) and Simon Ellis (telling lies). These films are all very different styles and era’s, for example the girl chewing gum was created in the 1970’s by john smith this film is very different to all the other films firstly it is in black and white were as the other films are in colour secondly there are no actors they are all real people in a real world also it has a very weird sound track because it is non diegetic but you could argue that it is diegetic because he is saying what’s in the frame but it could have been recorded after the piece of footage was made. The premise of the film is to make you believe that he is actually directing the film from were you see the camera but the director isn’t actually there it’s a voice over and then he begins making up stories to the people but it also confuses the audience because when it goes onto a field but with city noises you think why are there cars when we can’t see a car around. This a concept based film because its all about how the director feels about his film not the craft of making it because its just simple footage and the film is at a quite fast pace showing the pace of life really.The only comparison for telling lies by Simon Ellis and John smith’s girl chewing gum is that they are films the comparison ends there. In telling lies, this is different once again to the other films. This film is a text based film, also it is in colour even though it is text because the text changes colour. You could also argue over this film because its not visual so when the soundtrack is playing of the people you could say that its diegetic but then you can say its non diegetic because you can’t actually see the people talking. Also this film is very visual compared to the other films. The premise of this film is telling lies when you are talking to one of your friends or family and you don’t want them to know the truth so you tell them a lie but in your head your thinking about what your saying and really taking the Mick out of the person your talking to! This film is a craft based film the way they get the text to sink in with the peoples voices is a skill which the director has used in a very clever way also the pace of this film is fast and slow depending who “Phil” is talking to.The final film to compare with telling lies and girl chewing gum is Gisele Kerozene. This film is in colour like telling lies and is unlike girl chewing gum and unlike telling lies and girl chewing gum this film is a stop motion animation picture. This is when you take thousands of pictures and then make them into a film and speed it up. Also the sound is non diegetic this is because it is a soundtrack with stop motion you can’t have real live sound because it is picture frames not video. This premise of this film is 2 witches want this object and someone comes and steals it so a chase begins by broomstick and then at the end the person gives the witches the object back. This film is defiantly a craft based piece because the director made up a random story just to prove that he can do the stop motion animation as a skill.
