7. Do you think your film watching, or your film taste, have changed through studying IB Film? If yes, please explain how. For example, will you watch the new Michael Haneke film?

Fargo (1996) scene selection

I am going to analyze the scene from minute 20:35 to minute 24:17

Set and Shot composition

This is a shot from the movie Pulp Fiction; this is an excellent composition of the shot as it has a lighting that catches the audience at the back of the main characters which are dancing. This lightning is very strong at the floor and at the bar. Also all the other people in the shot are staring at the dancers and this makes the audience focus on them. The woman that is dancing has a very strong lightning from her top which highlights her white shirt. By the other hand, the male dancer has a strong lightning on his hands which also catch the audience.
I think the director has chosen very good props on this shot, and a very shinny lightning, this dancer seems to look as the best dancers on the night club because of the lightning and the props. Nevertheless,the dancer look very important because of the low angle and their balck and white clothes.

The Blind Spot

Director and Scene:
Name of director. Iñaki Diaz Ugalde

Name of film: The Blind Spot

Name of your character: Co-Worker

Brief description of scene/lines of dialogue: Ricardo is confessing that he has killed his sister.

What was the point, dramatic function or purpose of this scene? The madness of Ricardo that he thinks he has killed his sister and he didn’t.

Your character:
Can you give some characteristics of your character; their ‘backstory’: Policeman on duty that becomes angry when he discovers that the murder was fake.

How clear were the instructions given about your character? Very clear, an angry policeman.

Did you feel involved in your character? Explain why/why not? Yes, because the line I was given was easy to act.

Did you understand the narrative content of your scene: where it ‘fits’ into the whole Short Film? Yes.

Did you understand the relationship between your character and the other characters in the scene? Yes.

‘Is the director good to work with?: why, why not? (Be kind! It’s not easy!) Yes, because before acting he told us a little bit about the story, so that the actors and me could understand the short film, and he also told us what feeling did we have to demonstrate, in my case, anger.

Documentary Tittle

Today I have chosen a catchy, engaging, prominently displayed title for my independent study documentary which is: They Are Watching You!
This name is given to my documentary because it means that the horror movies are watching you. Besides of choosing a tittle we also choose an eye catching or intriguing image and a font choice and style that reflect the tone and style of your production. We did all this for the DVD main menu.
