fake


These are the fake scars that we created with red food dye, corn starch, a teabag, staples, water, flour and a black eye liner. We experimented with the different materials to see which combinations worked best. The top photo was our first attempt, we tried to make it look like a deep cut in the middle of her hand. For the blood we used cornstarch, flour and red food colouring but we found that it was to light and orange so it looked unrealistic. On our second attempt we chose to use only food colouring for the blood, and for the darker inside part of the cut, we cut a tea bag open and mixed it with the red food dye. This made the cut look much more realistic and gory which was our aim. After, we put staples into the wax so that it looked like they were hanging out, this made it look more effective and painful as well as realistic, our third and fourth attempts were the best because we understood how apply the wax and blood so that it looked realistic, and I think we achieved the look we were aiming for.

rehearsal footage - final edit

In my rehearsal footage I have shown three different locations, I did look briefly at others, but I knew that they wouldn’t suit my intentions for the film, they didn’t have the correct lighting, or they would be too difficult to film in because of their accessibilities. I had imagined what I wanted the location to look like when I first started to write my story, I wanted it to be quite dark and oppressive to suit the narrative, and the first location I used in my rehearsal footage isn’t the final location I will be using because it was too light and open. I did however like the beach and the forest next to the beach so I will likely use this location in my film. I also liked the actor I used in the rehearsal footage because I am making a silent film and won’t be having a script or dialogue and so character expression and movement is an important part in my film, and I think my actor understood this and did it well. I am going to change the costume too, I didn’t want to buy the...

evaluative analysis of my short film.

Image
Acts of Kindness I have created a 5-minute short film which follows a young woman wandering in a forest, alone and confused. I chose to  represent  a young woman because the contrast of vulnerability in Arrival and manipulation displayed in  Echo  shown through the micro elements of film form intrigued me. This sense of innocence was important to me because I wanted the audience to believe that she was in danger, and then realise only towards the end that she was instead in control and a threat to others. I think the juxtaposing naivety and awareness of the main character is evident through my use of micro elements. For instance, the  character expression and movements  are effective and believable, so the audience are able to develop a sense of empathy and understanding (for the majority of the film). I think it is the character expression which at the beginning makes my character conform to the stereotypical gender norms shared in society and often ...
