I was shown a film by Bryony (Newport Graduate) called Little Boat on Vimeo,
it's about a little boat getting wrecked through all weathers, and we're taken through each scene with the boat as our focal point. The film uses sound really well to help create some tense, sad and almost comical moments, also the use of silent is prominent.
I like how the backgrounds move past the boat, not the boat moving along a background but I don't that I could get the high aspect, far away, observer kind of shots that I'm looking for in my film. However, the portrayal of the weather is interesting in this film... I can't tell if it's CG or digital 2D... maybe a mixture!
This is something I hope to look into in my film, 2D painting over a CG environment and camera path... I spoke to Cambell about it and he said it's really easy... so maybe I'll use it for a short simple sequence.
The above scene led me to thinking about how I present rain...
I love the colours and baroness of this scene... something I'd like to work with.
I toyed momentarily with the idea of birds, or a bird attack/friend in my film... but I feel that may snub the feeling of isolation maybe?
This scene was silent and was a fantastic representation of a rip rolling storm... very intense and simplistic.
Loads of other films and people are giving me cause to think these days...
Next steps are to draw up another quick story board, a few more background perspective designs, and I need to think about colour/environment and weather.
I also need to re-think my girl design, and maybe her colour... I don't think I'd like her to be so completely black even in light scenes... however she will be block with no detail... just colour....
Hmmm.
