Hello!
So in this particular post, I will be going through the short film sequence we did for our Producing and Directing module.
The way the project began was we were given the choice of being in groups of two or three, which just by itself is a hard choice to make. But I did it and got into a group with Deborah. That was our initial idea until I heard that an exchange student for the year, Erin, needed a group and we consequently took her in like a foster family would. Rambling.
So after that we started discussing what ideas we had and how we could go about doing this assignment. And to be honest, because me and Deborah had our attention more on the other project and Erin was a new member to the group, we ended up only accomplishing the work a day before we needed to upload it.
But getting back to the point, after we firmly decided to meet in a park in Hampstead because nature is such a beautiful source of inspiration, we started walking around and seeing what we could use for the purposes of this brief.
And we settled on a tree which captured our attention since it was not only were the branches huge and sprawled almost perfectly around each other but the fact that it was completely naked of leaves, gave it a haunting feeling. My only comparison is to the tree in Tim Burton's Sleepy Hallow, when the Headless Horseman gets his revenge and gets sucked into the tree in a blood bath.
Eery.
So the idea was to get quite "intimate" with said tree and try to capture some of the essence it transmitted.
Then in post-production, we changed it to black and white and added some slow motion effect.
Now, I kinda want to go to the park and get really up close with the tree if I can get more varied shots, besides the one's used on here.
