FILM

There are so many parts of the filming process that Grace and I were discussing that we need to think about:

Location

Story board

Colour palette(filters)use dye samples

Colour/ Black and white

Lighting

Sound

All these parts are very key. Location wise we are using what is around us red bricked Manchester! There are so many contrasting area from the northern quarter to spinning fields to the curry mile. It will also look different what time of day we film it the day antagonisting the night. The story board is planning the film down to every last shot that is shown. Getting a variety of different angles, close up and distant shots making sure the film has variety and keeps the viewer interested. 

Colour Filters are not often uses in many films but in artistic films to create a different atmosphere or give an illustion to the viewer for example the weather. A recent film that just came out 'Hunky dory' was set in the hottest summer in England 1976 so uses a yellow filter through out the film make it seem hot, shown below.This also links with whether you want the film in colour or black and white. Colour and different coloured filters can work. However black and white and colour filters highlight the different colours making it stand out.  

Lighting can change the atmosphere of the film giving it an eerie or a normal feel. This can be seen in the music video below it is very simple but lighting gives it edge, the sound complements the lighting in this music video. In a lot of the fashion films they have a simple sound and a big beat to change the image. The sound can often make or break a film. 

Here are some example of songs that i have been looking at that are slow but have a beat which i feel complements our project title 'slow is beautiful'.
