pans labyrinth

Pan's Labyrinth is most likely about a girl who gets injured and ends up finding her away into a mystery realm. In this realm there is going to be horrific monsters with a very dark and eerie setting that creates thrill and suspense. It also makes the viewer feel very paranoid, fitting the film into the horror genre. The themes I am expecting from Pan's Labyrinth are Fascism and very rebellious characters who go against the crowd. The color gradients will most likely make the protagonists feel very small along with the camera angles which will make them seem much smaller and less significant than the villains and environment of the protagonist.

Meet and Subvert Film

When filming the video, although it is a silent film, I used a boom pole and shotgun mic to record most of the audio, as I was the sound designer. I also created music for the end of the film as the outro music. When making the film my group used a variety of different shot types in order to make the film feel more realistic, such as the tracking shot, and  the drone shots. As far as editing goes, it played an enormous role in this film. I used an unrealistic variation of colors in random scenes to make the whole environment seem more druggy and out of normal mindset, as the film is meant to simulate an illegal drug deal.

I feel there was definitely many of both successes and failures in the meet and subvert film. The shot types were well thought out and overall very successful as far as execution goes. For failures though, the main issue that really killed the film was the settings chosen. There were many more options that probably would have made the film much more smooth and overall a lot better because of sound issues in certain locations (mainly outside of the dome). Also many of shots could have been closer up which would have made the films plot much easier to follow. Lastly, the costuming should have been more consistent.
