We are creating a video with a concept that will be paired with the piece Palladio. We are in the brainstorming stage and just trying out different ideas. For this one we used a sharpie pen and 4 people. We started at the 4 corners and slowly made our way towards the middle, then when they met in the middle they would bounce back in a different direction. We took shots every 4-5 lines and created this stop motion.We used imovie to create it and put the film in reverse.
For the first one I like the speed we put it at, it made less of a pause, I didn't feel like I was waiting for the next part of the drawing to be shown. The second video has more pauses in between each jump and I feel it doesn't work for the video because of the pace. If we were going to use this in our film I would definitely say it should be scattered in sections and fluctuating speeds throughout the video with the theme we choose. We have been thinking about evolution and change as our concept for the video. The way the drawing grows toward the middle would show change and how we are changing as a society. We were also thinking of how the advances of technology are damaging our planet.
Walt Disney s Tangled is
a sweet action comedy about the innocent girl Rapunzel who has lived in a tower
whole life because she has magical hair that keeps her youthful. Flynn is a wanted thief who happens to find to come across her tower and they make a deal. Flynn will take to see the floating lights she see's each year on her birthday. They face challenges but the movie ends with a happy ending. My remake of this movie makes Rapunzel the evil character who is trying to take Flynn captive after he releases her from the tower. Overall I change the sweet, adventures and comedic theme into a race against time, action where Flynn is trying to escape this evil character. The theme because more of a dark thriller.
To begin I thought about different clips I could use to make Rapunzel look like the villain. I started the trailer off with Flynn coming into the tower, which in the film is not as serious but in my trailer I added the thriller music from Halloween to make the entrance more dramatic and create the dark feeling when you meet Rapunzel for the first time. I eventually put more of a action soundtrack mixture that was supposed to make the next clips more about Flynn fighting for his life.
Some clips I used to create the dark and sinister feel of Rapunzel were when she pulled Flynn of the cliff, when she is walking out of the shadows, wrapping Flynn in the chair and throwing Flynn out the window. I was able to make her intentions in the scene more about trying to put Flynn into harmful situations verses her trying to save him from the situations. I also was able to make the horse which is also trying to harm Flynn in the original movie part of Rapunzel's evil team.
I didn't put any talking in the trailer because I didn't feel I could successfully help it reenforce the new theme. But I did change lighting in a few scenes which I thought effectively helped change the theme. But I also found it challenging to use a lot of the scenes fro m the original trailer because they are so bright and lively and I wanted to make the new seem dark. You will notice I used a lot of quick little scenes because I felt this was more effective and gave the feel of a what a actual trailer actually looks like.
Overall I feel I effectively changed the mood in my trailer from a sweet action, comedy to a dark serious action. I also feel I used the music, and visuals effectively to help dramatically change the theme.
