Recreating a Love Actually scene

- June 28, 2019

Recreating a Love Actually scene EVALUATION: Firstly i decided to keep the mise-en-scene very similar to the real scene in Love Actually therefore all cast costume was smart; the prime minister and Terrence were in suits and Annie, Pat and Natalie were in smart clothes. Again i wanted the character expression and movement, make up and setting very similar to how it was in the original scene as i believe if any element were different to the original scene it would alter the narrative.

final idea - Everyday this boy takes a pill to stop his nightmares - or that is what he thought - The man has to take his pill at "9" everyday but takes it late - at "11"one day and Instead of going from the good to the bad quite drastically, i could possibly build it up by the man doing his normal routine e.g. going on a run and then he sees a corpse for a split second, then a shot of his face and then the shot goes back to where the corpse was but its gone. i could possibly shoot a scene where we see what is happening through the mans eyes but then cross cut it with what is reality - Then the next day he could decide not to take it and he has the major nightmare where everything goes wrong and he is finally able to see what is happening in reality that the pill just suppresses him from seeing what is happening in real life. Wakes up in nightmare - Walks outside normal Sees ...

Evaluating “where have I been all your life”

- October 14, 2019

Evaluating – Where have I been all your life? ‘Where have I been all your life’ is a comedy, drama short film. The narrative is the most important element of the short and keeps the audience engaged throughout, the narrative is mostly driven by dialogue. Liam’s character helps make the short comical this gives the film ebullient feel despite the sensitivity around the plot. A linear narrative is established throughout, one which can conform to todorrovs narrative theory of equilibrium. Liam and Suzie begin in the car, from the diegetic dialogue the audience find out that Liam is searching for his father he has never met, this is the equilibrium. The uncertainty of the narrative continues throughout as you don’t expect what will happen. The disruption of the equilibrium is when Liam tells John and Angela that he is johns son which outlines that John has cheated on Angela. Next Liam comforts distraught Angela and both John and Angela try to work out the mother of Lia...
