Arrival

-


The arrival is a short film directed by Daniel Montanarini. It was funded through kick starter. It is a monologue about the internal struggle of a women deciding whether to keep her baby or not.


 Representation
This short has a stereotypical representation of women. Represents her as caring and mercurial.
Micro elements
Lighting - changes half way through - represents change in attitude
Tracking Shot - all one take
Shot on the Arri Amira with a Zeiss 32mm Ultra Prime
Possible inspiration?
Simple narrative & use of only a few actors creates a logistically simpler  short - instead focuses on inner emotions.
Lighting used effectively & tracking

I feel that although this type of short is easier and logistically more practical; I didn't find it as engaging or interesting as some of the other shorts that I've watched. This might be because personally I couldn't relate to the women or it could be to do with the lack of activity/action.

    I think it has an interesting concept however practically I think it would be very difficult. I also think it would be difficult to convey understanding of narrative conventions to the exam board

Aims draft for evaluation

Aims - Produce an industry standard screenplay - Produce an industry standard storyboard which effectively communicates my screenplay. Industrial context Target audience The film will resonate universally. Elevator music, and how annoying it is, is something that many people can emphasise with. It will be predominantly aimed at a 16-35 year old audience as they will appreciate the dark comedic genre of the film. Techniques for positioning audience I use misc-en-scene with the Walkman to effectively communicate how Jack loves music. This reinforces how important his hearing is to him - therefore making it more poignant when he looses it to elevator music.

Hopefully they will put me in the same frame of mind as the main character. I may also end up choosing to use a few of these in my screenplay as soundtracks etc.
