Film Analysis 4

"Meshes of the afternoon"

The film i have chosen to analyse is the meshes of the afternoon, this film has influenced us as a group a lot, the whole feel and symbolism within the film has interested us as a group.The music used in the film is a simple guitar and flute and drums are used when something happens such as the flower being placed on the floor. We are hoping to produce are own music in a simple style using repetition of certain sounds with specific images throughout the film. Tracking shots are used along with very quick shots, when we make our film we want to include a variety of different cinematography techniques. In the film objects such as a flower and a key are objects that occur throughout. When making our film as a group we want to have flowers recurring from the start to the finish of our film. Towards the middle of the clip there is a extreme close up of a woman's eye. Eyes are a very emotive part of the face and we would use a close up when the girl in are film has headlights shining on her. This would be a good shot to have when expressing her fear of death. Towards the end of the film a man is wearing a black coat and has a mirror as a face. In our film we wanted to have two men in white doctor like coats and have mirror as faces, this will hide their identity and create a sense of uneasiness. Within the end of the film the makers play around with pace, this could be an interesting technique to use as we want to have some shots of the girl in headlights at a slower pace. This technique would be a great way to focus on her facial expressions.
