making of true blood bigining trailer

Requiem For a Dream

i started watching this film the other week and didnt get to watch it all, the bits i watched were very good, not really sure what the plot of the story is but the filming is very unique.

There were parts in the film, when the people were taking drugs they kept flicking through selected screen shots and during the shouts they would play sound to go with the pictures but they would almost exadurate them so the were very clear and it really gave you a clear idea of drug taking and how harmful and tripy it is. I just thought it made the film look different and really good. once iv watched the rest of the film i can comment on some more parts.

Cashback film

This film is about a fine artist who can stop time with his mind and almost see people in their comfort, he can picture them naked basicly. he is a very talented artist how is very intreged by the human for especially the female gender.

what i liked about the film is the way it was filmed, the first clip is of the boys ex-girlfriend screaming and shouting at him but she is on mute so you cant hear here, what you can hear is his voice/ well his mind thinking and ontop of that clasical music. i just thaught the contrast of the scene created a very interesting sence of the person, it just really struck me as a very interesting way to film the piece using the opposites. 

there are also other parts of the film were one minute he is in a coridor with walls around him and the camera swings round (this is all in one shot) and the boy almost looks like he is falling into bed and he is in his room, again another very clever piece of filming. there are lots throughout the film and its is very interesting.

Harmony Korine

this man is Harmony Korine he is an american film director, producer, screen writer and Arther, he has done films suck as kids, gummo, julien donkey-boy and mister lonely and his latest film is trash humpers.

if you have not seen any of his films then it is hard to explain them.... some would call them strange, odd or disturbing in some cases. i just love the way he films, for instance julien donkey-boy has very little script yet you still know what is going on, but at the same time the film doesn't really have a point which really intrigues me about the film.... the style in which it is filmed, almost none professional looking just really attracts me to it as well.

in kids the story line is very shocking and to the point, again the way it is filmed and just how true and real he can make serious things seem- it is about HIV and how easily it can be given, it is given around a group of friends, sounds shocking but the way it has been done is very clever.

the man intrigues me a lot, i have yet to see all of his films but I'm sure they will be just as interesting.

Quentin Tarantino

obviously everyone knows who Quentin Tarantino is, cant not appreciate his films really, the way pulp fiction was filmed in an almost non-sencical order is just genius again i grips you to the film and makes you want to watch it. i just really like films that are based in the olden times and quentins film are, death proof is a violent film but the way he films it and the story line it just works. inglorious bastards, the way he films it with almost like theatre breaks or old film written scripts every now and again just tops the film off. very clever director

Shane Meadows

this is Shane Meadows is a film director, screen writer and an occasional actor, who has done such films as dead mans shoes, a room for romeo brass, this is England and somers town. again i just really like his old style of filming, the way this is England was filmed is just really well done, the not perfect filming but it almost makes you feel you are there, the story line is brilliant and it really grips you to the film as it goes on. he is another director i am fond of.

interactive narative

for my final idea i decided to use the photography as i thought up the best scenarios for this idea and i thought it might work well

i drew out a diagram to help me see the efficiency of the photos and were to put what.

• do you want this person to take a picture of you- yes or no? (numbed slide one)
• yes, he asks which button to press- you are given a choice left or right button? (numbed slide 2)
• left button, deletes all your photos (numbed slide 3)

• no, to the first person ask this person- yes or no? (numbed slide 5)
• no- leave without a photo taken (numbed slide 14)

• yes, to the second person- keep the photo or ask to take another one? (numbed slide 6)
• ask to take another one, person run off with camera- chase or report to police? (numbed slide 11)
• report to police- camera found (numbed slide 13)
• chase- don't catch him and he gets away with camera (numbed slide 12)

• keep photo, this is the photo (numbed slide 7)
• use this photo in uni project- yes or no? (numbed slide 8)
• no- back to beginning page

• yes, get a good grade- happy with grade or want more? (numbed slide 9)
• happy with grade- back to beginning page
• want more- goes up on wall in gallery (numbed slide 10)

i numbed the slides to help me with the coding of the linked pages, i wrote out the codes to which slide i had numbed to make the process a lot easier.

1. red button- slide 5, green button- slide 2
2. green button left- slide 4, green button right- slide 3
3. red button- back to slide 1
4. red button- back to slide 1
5. red button- slide 14, green button slide 6
6. green button left- slide 7, green button right- slide 11
7. red button- back to slide 1, green button slide 8
8. green button- slide 9
9. green button left- back to slide 1, green button right- slide 10
10. finish
11. green button left- slide 12, green button right- slide 13
12. red button- back to slide 1
13. red button- back to slide 1
14. red button- back to slide 1

i am happy with how it turned out i found flash really hard to use and i would prefer to have proper workshops on just the individual programs so that we can get to learn them better.

the reason why i used buttons on this project is because i felt the buttons looked a lot like camera buttons so i didn't want to hid them seeing as the film is predominately about the camera.

*for some reason the video hasn't worked and it was working before i uploaded it up on here, a few people have said flash hasn't been working for theirs and i assume that that is the case but i think something has happened to the codes in mine, i haven't got flash.*
