Diary Entry 3 - 5.10.10 - 6.10.10
Today we watched and discussed three short films from a UK Film Council collection which each had limited dialogue. From each we had to note how they conveyed their message clearly without excessive dialogue.
We analysed each film in the categories:
Plot points - The parts of the film where the story changes dramatically or there is an action which changes the course of events.
Pithy Dialogue - The dialogue used is short and only gives the audience relevant information as there is limited time. The message is put across clearly.
Motivated/Rounded/Believable Characters: Remember that each character is thoroughly thought about and is given a back story or motive that drives their character to behave in the way that they do. Always think whether the characters are believable....would they say that?...would they do that?....would they dress like that? etc.
From this lesson we were supposed to go away and see if we could restructure and improve our own ideas using similar techniques that were used in the film, whilst also incorporating AMAZING plot points, BREATHE TAKING dialogue and INCREDIBLE characters.
