Book Research – Major film project

I went into the library to do some research on animated documentaries. I found this very useful as it has given me some ideas on how my film should look and the different animation methods that filmmakers have done in the past.

Books authors

• Annabelle Honess Roe
• Robert Russett
• Cecile Starr
• Andy Glynne
• Judith Kriger
• Richard Taylor

I would recommend these books to anybody who wants to do an experimental film or documentaries.

Workshop_3 Storyboard Review

 

 

During the workshop, I was still struggling with how to present my film in a second animatic as my film is based on real-life footage that’s going to be rotoscoping for the final cut.

After showing my tutor my idea and the direction I want the film to take, he advised me how to create my second animatic without using drawing. He advises me to make a shortlist of live-action for the rotoscoping and try and follow the hitch cock method when it comes to camera shots and angles. Place the live-action footage for the animatic or a still image if theirs no movement you can still put for example the people walking around the shot. The film will be 3-4mins, but the length doesn’t matter its the quality of animation and what you do with it.

Production

Subject focus: Catcalling

The acts of shouting harassing and often sexually suggestive, threatening, or derisive comments at someone publicly.

Though I seldom witness catcalling or verbal harassment, I’ve come to understand how constant and burdensome it can be for women, especially when the words used are crude, violent, or degrading.

• Why is it so terrible?
• Visually explore: how you feel?
• It is about power not about compliments or picking up women.
• The voice needs to tell stories about their experience while being catcalled, how did it make them feel? Angry, embarrassed etc.
• Get the target audiences to feel empathy and make it personal.
• Idea: interview a male perspective as “the devil argument”.
• The male perspective could say something like, “oh it’s only a bit of fun between us guys, guy banter.”
• Catcalling is about “Power” and relations within it.
• Idea: A women being destroyed by all these unwanted sexual attentions.
• Is it a form of Bullying and why?

Interview dialogue example:

Based on interviews with a few people about their personal experiences and opinions about these issues of catcalling women in public.

“I was walking into kings’ cross stations, minding my own business when theses group of men started whistling at me like I was a someone’s pet dog! they started shouting inappropriate things to me like ow-ow good looking show us your p*&^%/! I was so embarrassed I started feeling hot under the collar with anger”

While the voice-over is playing in the background, the visual metaphor will take place. Need to find women who have had an issue with catcalling and can tell us about.
