Short Film ISU Assignment
For my ISU assignment i decided to do the first option in creating a short experimental film. i decided to do this because i really enjoyed using final cut pro and would love to continue working with this program, and to also expand on all my possibilities. for this assignment i have decided to shoot a heart felt film about friendship and how an act of kindness can go a long way. to create this image i have created a scene of time, showing as time passes with a single baloon as a constant symbol of the friendship that was made. in my eyes I see a young boy and girl who happen to meet by chance just by the catching of a run away balloon. then as each major event in this girls life passes he deciders to give her a balloon as his symbolic friendship towards her. the events end up leading them to a deep love into death due them part. when it is that time in life where they are apart from the friendship between them, the boy visits her grave with that same balloon releasing it into the sky to let her go, as well as the balloon following her to the heavens. to have the success in this vision i will need the help of many different people and many different ages. i will also be using red balloons, which will be one of the main subject points in this film. in creating this i will have to go into proper locations in making the scene, which means going to film at lacose park, as well as at the school, and home. these locations will help to set the scene and express the mood i wish to have in my film. The time line for the filming may take a few weeks to accomplish because i need different resorses in actors for the different age roles. i need to also make sure that each actor is the same hair colour throughout the transition in years to help tell the story of the two kids growing up. that part is something that may take a little time. the timeline in the completion of editing and final credit will take me about a half a week to one full week to complete. i will be attempting to involve my friend and her two sisters for the roles of the young girl, the 16 year old and the teen going off the prom/collage. for one thing to accomplish this project i will need a lot of patience as well as all the proper supplies needed to complete the job successfully. i hope that this project will turn out to be successful in the end and that it captures everything i hoped it could. If i can at the end of this project sit back and feel completely confident about my film, that will be the biggest form of success i can measure. All i wish to do is to feel accomplished and see my whole heat in every peace of work that i finish.
Elements and Principals of design
for this assignment i am plaining on using major aspects of the elements and principals of design, so that i can truly show how art is seen in film. For my film the main subject is to be a red balloon which is a symbolic key of friendship. This balloon is helping to represent colour as well as space, while the balloon drifts through the air. Red is a colour that is helping to put emphasis on that subject matter, for the importance of the balloon and helping it to tell a story as well. For another aspect of design i plain on shooting film up close to get the textures of the different things around me, this will create a mood of interest to my viewer and to suck them into the rest of the film. I am plaining on capturing many scenes outside as well as in the school. By capturing different scenes in different places i am able to catch different values in shading, light and colour. over all i will hope to represent theses elements of art and principals of design though my film as well as make a memorable story that captures my views in showing friendship.
RED
For my film i have made the colour element a major part in my story. As a bold and bright colour i have red as a main focus point in the life of a girl and her friend. Every time red is shown it is to display that this is a significant moment in time for this girls life.
The first is a red balloon which is the beginning and start of a new friendship. For the loss of the balloon and the innocence of childhood the boy finds and returns the balloon. Then within the ending we see the little girl who has grown into an old lady standing by a grave. now holding a balloon she is remembering all the memories that they have experienced over the years together. then in the end she releases the red balloon into the air and by doing so she is letting the balloon go as she lets her best friend go.
