Analyzing the Main Character


The main character in our upcoming project is very clear, being the driver of the car who witnesses all of the passengers in the backseat disappear. While we don't quite flesh out the main character's personality or characteristics, because she'll mainly be focused on the events happening around her, there are some things that we've decided she'll be and she'll do.

For instance, we've decided the main character's costuming will be differentiated from the passengers, as to be dressed in white, as to symbolize her survival. This is opposed to the grays and blacks the passengers who disappear will be dressed in. Her communication style and personality will initially be unaffected until the event where she realizes something horrible has happened.

We definitely know what her mental state is going to be. While it starts out normal and cheery, after she realizes all her friends have disappeared, it will quickly deteriorate as she has a mental breakdown. Her motivation at this point will just to be to get her friends back towards the end of the intro, but that would be focused on in a full film, which this project doesn't cover.

Videos

A few days back, we were made to create five different shots for our class with a partner, each using a different camera angle. Here is my work:      Video #1 - Introductory Scene - This shot shows the campus before stopping and zooming in on a tree, which the audience will ideally view as being the most integral part of the story. It's introductory because it shows the setting of the rest of the movie and introduces key items. This shot was created by simply rotating the camera and then using the zoom function on it, zoning in on the tree. Our goal of making an introductory scene was probably achieved.      Video #2 - High Shot - This shot displays Arturo (my partner) from a high vantage point below the viewer. In the video, he picks up a stick and slowly points it upward, towards the camera. The way this was recorded was by me standing on a bench and rotating the camera angle down at Arturo, then slowly tilting it upward during the course of the filming i...

CCR - Creative Critical Reflection

This is my Creative Critical Reflection (Length 11:44): NOTE: THERE IS AN ERROR AT 2:03 - I say "DIEGETIC SOUND" when I mean to say "NON-DIEGETIC SOUND". Summary: Overall, it was a great experience working on this project. The film overall is a horror / adventure film about someone who "loses" some of his friends while driving without any explanation or reason. This causes him to have a mental breakdown, serving as the intro to our movie "Search", which will presumably be about the driver searching for his friends. Analyzation: 1st scene: Color is utilized to symbolize future and foreshadowing; Non-diegetic Sound is not used to keep tone neutral 2nd scene: Could potentially be improved; we did not give anyone dialogue to use Transition from 2nd to 3rd scene: Could potentially be improved; There is a problem in that some viewers may think a significant amount of time is passing between the two scenes. 3rd scene: Moment of shock for driver; area in...
