The fall

What I have accomplished in this particular research task is that I have manage to understand the creativity that are used in films  I watched a film named ‘The fall’ in which sets out a brilliant example that presents a story that is very different and creative in many devices that are used.

                                                             The plot of the story

In a hospital on the outskirts of 1920s Los Angeles, an injured stuntman begins to tell a fellow patient, a little girl with a broken arm, a fantastical story about 5 mythical heroes. Thanks to his fractured state of mind and her vivid imagination, the line between fiction and reality starts to blur as the tale advances.

                                                       Facts about The fall

Here are several facts in which I have researched online about the film and also while watching the actual film

My review of ‘The fall’

In my personal opinion I thought that the film was tremendous and very creative in the way they set out each location for example the location that was set in Egypt was the most effective one in my opinion because it presented an ancient look and what I found very interesting is where the film presented there blue houses which I thought was very magnificent and delicate. The film was very unusual at first since I didn’t understand the plot of the story however I manage to keep up with the film through the process of ‘story telling’ in which imaginations was used from the girl as she used the same characters that resembles the 5 mystic heroes which suited the job. It was very emotional of how Roy was very depressed from the situation he come across to however the way the story he plotted was a great experience of presenting a film that actually has creativity and potential. Apart from that category the soundtrack was very decent and amazing from various scenes and also the costumes that were used was fantastic and actually seemed we were watching the action in those ancient times. Therefore the fall is a fall in which is most recommendable to watch but from the research I have developed from this concept I know understand how its not all about the plot of the story but its about including the components that makes the story very effective and interesting.

Behind the scenes of ‘The fall’

Tick Tock

For developing some skills and preparation to plan my short film i researched sveral clips on youtube that seemed very interesting i chosed one short film called Tick tock and what in liked about this film is that is uses a variety of editing that was nsomething different,the music was used effectively and also the shots was very creative. What would you do if you had only five minutes to live? Trace a young man's few minutes of trying to fulfill his life's highest potential.

1. The first shot of the clock seem very bizare as it was going backwards
2. I liked the soyund as though the tone was decreasing and echoing
3. everything seemed to be going backwards
4. When the person was running it was like a flashback but following the process of where it comes down to
5. The way we are following through the film gets a bizare and awkward feeling

Contrast

For developing my research on how to produce an effective film for my media project we had to focus on other key terms that is compulsory to include to our film.Contrast is the key term that is used in many creative films to present a magnificant image to the audience therefore i have used the website kizoa to present my knowledge about the contrast that is used in photgraphy.
