The text was an extract from the movie "The Quiet Place". The filmmakers wanted to show the emptiness of the town and how desolate the environment is by showing no form of life and using little to no sound- the only sounds added were the slow howling of winds and the rustling of brown, dead leaves. The producers only used static and establishing camera shots to introduce the setting and give the sense of abandonment and lifelessness, this is due to the lack of movement happening on the screen by using static shots. There were close-ups of some street stuff e.g. a traffic light, to show that the town has been left to ruin and is in a wreck, the traffic light used was a broken one and is laid down on the dry concrete street.
The intro alongside all the big ideas were on paper, I didn't realize I had to include them all here.
Reflection: a WHOLE LOT of SPACE for improvements, and next time please listen to the instruction clearly and don't be afraid to question any doubts verbally to the teacher :)
- Where is your intro?
ReplyDelete- You need more supporting evidence in your paragraph.
- Good points about the static shots meaning that life is still/quiet in the town.
- Give more examples of mise-en-scene that shows the place is abandoned (and describe it)
