influence

50 first dates has a similar narrative to mine as Drew Barrymore loses her identity because she has short term memory loss and forgets everything and anyone around her.

Update 4

Last week I showed Tim what i had produced so far, he then told me what i should add and improve including, adding dissolve effects to the opening scene and everytime the character changes location. I also needed to make the editing better on some of the match on action shots. Finally i need to film some voiceover's of the main character to go over the song, because you can't really hear him.

update 3

I have finished my short film, since my last post I have added some scenes in which Michael goes into a dream, I have added some affects including a wavy effect to show that Michael is dreaming and an audio effect that is conventional when people dream.
I have also removed some unnessercary scenes such as overlooking boothferry park, and i removed the scenes of the two nurses, but instead kept the dialogue from the scene and overlapped it with the shot of Michael falling asleep.

update 2

I havent really got much further with the film, however it is nearly finished, because due to editing suites and other students accidentally over writing my work, meaning i had to capture and re edit all the clips i was using.

camera angles

I have used many match on action shots, in which the main character Michael walks through a building/door, these shots are very vital to the storyline, because it shows how he gets from different locations continuously.

update

I have almost finished my short film, I have at least 5 more scenes that need to be shot, although right now the video is around 6 minutes long, and i need to shorten it somehow.

pictures from editing

In this first image, I have shown when the soundtrack 'Golden Years' begins, and the shot in which the song will start is where Michael is walking out of the hospital. I tried to make it look conventional and used intertextuality with the opening scene in 'Saturday Night Fever' also based around the 70's.

This second image, is showing when the soundtrack stops in time with the match on action shot of Michael walking out of the telephone box, this is because in the next shot, there is diegetic sound to show Michael talking to the passer by.

In image 3, i used a time stretch to shrink down the length of the shot of the clock, this also enables the clock to look like its moving really fast and making time look like its going by faster.

In this last image, I just wanted to show the good use of mise-en-scene, as I actually filmed in a hospital, and so equipment was easy to get hold of, and this made the shot look more realistic.
