grid plans

in preperation for my final products i have created multiple grid plans (two of which are featured here). i studied the layout of a film review by reading the film magazines Film and Empire. i also looked at the layout for non film reviews in magazines i normally read.

inspiration

i have used the film Thank you for smoking as the bases of my work. the camera usually cuts to a medium shot with the character in question dead centre of the screen. the colours in the film are mostly browns and greys and overall is quite bland. this if anything adds to the films sense of realism from which it derives its comedy.

scripting

i believe firmly in critical analysis of my own work however seeing as few look at their own products impartially i will often ask others to look at it critically. here is a page from my old film which i have drafted and improved upon later
