Reflection

Our EDL is now on my blog, the props list has been email and i reposted the dialogue (because Bec said we needed it) even though that wasn't apart of the group task - i had done that for my treatment. I hope you find everything on my blog and remember to give me a good mark. I worked too hard on this whole thing, i'm even still doing it now- when i'm in America and the term has finished!

Dialogue - Slightly Modified in Film

Nurse Rose - “Hello Fiona, you gave us quite a scare, I presume you didn’t know that you were allergic to those flowers. You are perfectly fine now and when you feel ready you are welcome to leave. Sorry I’m not here to explain everything to you properly; I had to run a very important errand. Kind Regards, Nurse Rose.”

Councilor Jane - “Fiona, you have to understand that what you have described to me, isn’t true. You really have to come to terms with that, if not, you will never get better.”

Councilor Jane - “I don’t hear any screaming, I am taking this as a good sign. Fiona, this is your dog, you have had it since you were little… Fiona he isn’t dead, you have created that memory yourself, he was never dead. The sooner you can accept these facts, the sooner you’ll improve. I’ll leave him with you for a while.”

Fiona – “Dear Fiona, you have talked to me about the memory that you hold of yourself fainting and ending up in a hospital bed after smelling a flower. This is the flower you told me you were allergic to. I asked all your doctors and they grantee that you weren’t and still aren’t allergic to any flowers. They also told me there isn’t a hospital like you described and there isn’t a single registered nurse, in Queensland, by the name of Rose. If you don’t believe me, smell the flower. You must let these memories go, they are causing you pain. Accept the truth and move on. It’s the only way out of this facility for you. From Councilor Jane”

Fiona – “If a flower I was once severely allergic to, now fails to affect me at all, perhaps I’m invincible. I have always enjoyed having wind in my face, today I have decided to learn how to fly. I only wish to offer Councilor Jane some advice; you should have locked the door to the roof.”

Genre Specific Elements

My film is a drama, i had once thought of making it a thriller but changed my mind. I wanted to make a film that really exploited its genre and with a thriller i knew i wouldn't have been able to do that quite as effectively. There are a couple twists in my movie which lean themselves to the thriller genre, such as when she discovers her dog is actually alive. I love the ending of my movie, it really confirms the dramatic ness of the story.  My music also helps create an effective dramatic basis to my film.

Transitions and Speical Effects

The only real special effect that i added was on the sandwich scene. Ts involved layering the footage, finding at start position that matched Claudia up, then the second layer changed the opacity. This enabled the people walking past to have a ghosted effect. I have put different filters on various scenes; however these don' t count as special effects. I have used transitions to hopefully make it clearer what memories are real, which are fake and what aren't memories at all. I have use cross dissolves as my primary transition, though have mixed i up by having the transitions dissolve to black o white, depending on the next scene. the white looks really effective, and he black looks more normal <-- as in seen more commonly. The white and black transitions are genre specific elements, creating a more suspenseful atmosphere.

Biggest Mistake

The largest mistake i have constantly made throughout this whole movie is that i haven't reflected enough. I don't purposefully not reflect rather i just forget to. This is a bad habit I've had from the beginning. Nevertheless, when i reflect i write larger reflections to make up for it. I hope i don't get marked done for not having an abundance of reflects, i think the time and effort i have put into all my assessments makes up for it.
