Final Title-Fragments

Detailed Flashback Scenes 

(As a large portion of the narrative to the film revolves around flashbacks to a world before as well as hallucinations surrounding a lost loved one, these are the draft ideas for what short scenes will take place among the survival-style plot.)

Hallucinations 
-Several shots of ‘B’ in the opening escape scene (Hidden)
-Hidden among other shots through the scavenging and driving sequences.
-Only include dialogue once reaching the ‘home’ location and throughout the final escape.

 Dream Sequence 
(Overall, this sequence is going away from the main narrative to briefly show the downfall of the world, and how it become the apocalyptic wasteland it is now)

 Include shots showing:

  • Large population 
  • Society 
  • Pollution 
  • Virus foreshadowing (Chemicals/Liquids)
  • Extreme close-ups of body parts (Eyes/Teeth/Hands) 
  • Raindrops perhaps turning into dripping blood (Think about symbolism)

Active/Passive Spectatorship

How far does Inception and Blade Runner demonstrate a constant shift between passive and active spectatorship? Both Inception and Blade Runner were not created with the passive spectator in mind. These films throw twists and a large variety of information at the audience that some may not understand in one run through of the film. Because of these two different kinds of spectators, the films have an extremely diverse set of opinions.

The movie-epic spans across several different dream layers and tends to bounce back and forth. However, the film itself is a very ‘spoon-fed’ experience as details to this world are thrown at the audience from the beginning as the basic plot starts to emerge. The recognition of Nolan’s films has always been achie

Evaluative Analysis

Evaluative Analysis Ethan Garvie My original intent for my project is to create a post apocalyptic thriller following the point of view of a young survivor, displaying his own personal thoughts in the wasteland. This will be achieved through a film rather than a screenplay as I believe I am able to work far better through moving image rather than writing a script and a storyboard. I will also be focusing on incorporating 'A narrative which establishes and develops a single character' as my brief. I want to improve upon sequences taken as inspiration from previous short films by using several different lenses (such as my wide lens and 50 mm for my NIKON D3200) and a variety of perspectives such as high shots, low shots, and continuous tracking shots to tell an interesting and mysterious narrative. I will accomplish this by relying on visual storytelling through relevant mise-en-scene such as necessary props and performance of my actors. The story shall focus on a teen
