Logline

An unforgiving incident involving a torn relationship will set the lead on a raging path to confront the throttled issue at hand

Intent / Goals

The goal for the film is to establish a characters position and the emotions guiding him/her toward their determined destinations. By using camera angles and cuts which help exploit the person’s internal conflict, the intent is put together and building to the fulfillment of the film (even though there is none). After watching this film, it’s audience is meant to gather tips of different editing techniques that compute with story structure. It’s to help give them an idea of what these tips of film making are used for. In this particular film, these techniques are gathered to represent an intense feeling of anger and desperation for the leading role. 

Research

Inspiration for the choices made in the film were mainly from the editing examples shown during class. These really help  to influence new story telling ideas and techniques. Comparing the examples with films I’ve already experienced helps give me a clear understanding on why there used to begin with. I got the idea after watching “13 Creative Film and Video Editing Techniques” The video was compelling because of the usage of showing examples from films to show visually what the technique is like.

Questions

Are there any distractions involving the natural lighting?

Anything that needs better direction? Mainly with how the shots turned out and positions that were situated.

Does the camera focus on a shot for a little too long?
