The Chosen Idea: Idea 4.
1. Why it is chosen?
Even though the idea of war romance was directly influenced by 'Atonement' - one of the top-notch romance movies that ever shook my feelings, the thought of actually building a warfare atmosphere is almost impossible for a young, newcomer media student. I did in fact do some research on the topic, well enough to soon realize that the edits for war films are typical, quotes: "Whether the quotation is accurate or apocryphal, the sentiment (which can be traced to John Huston and Janusz Kaminski) shows that the attribution is less affecting than the conceptual implication it invites, namely, that the lowest of low-tech solutions may create images imbued with the most profound philosophical insights about the endeavor to represent a war on film—in particular, the presence and immediacy of war effects."
“How do you represent a war on film?”
and he replied decisively:
“Hit the camera.”
I surely can risk the choice and continue to chase the shadow that 'Atonement' has left behind, along with a body of mind from me. But the chances of actually perfecting it, or mostly, bringing out the vibe for a bloody field which was once belonged to the haunting past - I simply can't.
Ideas 3 and 2 were fun to make but to actually build a sci-fi/ dystopian vibe out of a modern city like Ho Chi Minh City that is so lively is, considerably hard. I can use Adobe Photoshop to help during the way, to be honest, that is not hard. The limited time that I have as I do indeed take 3 more subjects to study is what makes the idea challenging. Learning something new has never been a threat, but spending too much time on one subject is something I can not bear to cope with. An A-level student who used to take Media shared with me her experiences with Media and that her only struggle is to manage enough time for this subject - it's never been enough, so make sure to choose an easy path for myself.
2. My research into the idea.
Romantic drama is a subgenre of romance and one of the two prime subgenres at that. It is a more complex subgenre that delves deeper into the conflicting emotions of romance and relationships. Romantic dramas deal with other issues like tribulations, death, separation, infidelity, and the introduction of love triangles, making them more intricate and nuanced than their counterparts.
Some of the most famous romantic dramas in cinema include Casablanca, The English Patient, and Marriage Story. These films complicate the eventual resolutions of their romantic dramas, with the two stars ending up together or apart at the end. They are masterpieces that showcase the power of storytelling and the complexity of human emotions.
Creating a romantic drama is all about the writing. I will need a decent script that can convey the characters’ emotions effectively and compellingly. If the script is good, I am onto a winner. The key to creating a compelling romantic drama is to pour your heart into the writing, specifically the dialogue. The dialogue must be believable and authentic, and it must resonate with the audience.
Now, once my script is solid, there are limitless ways that my film could play out. Some scripts will require multiple locations, while others can be shot in one place like the chosen idea of mine. The setting should be chosen carefully to match the mood and tone of the story. The cinematography should also be well thought out, as it can help to convey the emotions and mood of the characters.
B. Camera Techniques
Various camera techniques are used in romantic drama films to convey emotions and enhance the story. Some of the most common techniques include:
- Close-ups: These shots focus on the actors' faces and expressions, highlighting their emotions and reactions.
- Medium shots: These shots show the actors from the waist up and are commonly used for dialogue scenes.
- Long shots: These shots show the actors in their environment, allowing the audience to see the setting and get a sense of the atmosphere.
- Over-the-shoulder shots: These shots show one character from behind the shoulder of another character, often used in dialogue scenes to establish the relationship between characters.
- Dutch angles: These are tilted shots that create a sense of unease or disorientation, often used in tense or emotional scenes.
- Tracking shots: These shots follow the actors as they move through a scene, creating a sense of movement and energy.
- Slow motion: This technique is used to create a dreamy or romantic effect, slowing down the action to emphasize emotions or important moments.
C. Costume.
For costume, I think "La La Land" and many other K-dramas movie will be a perfect example for my films
Binary Opposite: Characters' backgrounds, clothes, characteristics, and color palette.
