Set Task - 2 minute narrative film using stills to show time progressing
After watching "Le Jetee" last week in the studio theatre, we were set the task to create a 2 minute film where we would explore the use of still images in order to create a narrative for time. We would possible have to make the images black and white to fit the theme of the film and to link our stills back to being taken in the past, give the film stock or stills an authentic look.
Myself and my team had written up a poem which we would use as the main narrative piece to tell a story of the travels that the actor had within our piece, in this case I was the actor, I dressed up looking formal wearing black trousers and a white collared shirt, linking in with the idea of getting ready for work.
We all worked on the edit together and we all participated in getting stills for the piece including locations like beaumont park, play area, bus stop and even the friendly abode which we used as the characters place of stay throughout the piece. the idea we had to show time would consist of different locations to show the movement of the character but also we decided to repeat the images in some parts to give the effect of a cycle of life but also we thought that we could take out some o0f the images to make it look like things were disappearing one by one, as if he was loosing his mind.
