Film Influences


La Jetée
La Jetée is a 1962 French science fiction featurette by Chris Marker. Constructed almost entirely from still photos, it tells the story of a post-nuclear war experiment in time travel. The film runs for 28 minutes and is in black and white.

From this film I like the ideas of the using:
A mixture of still and moving images (the majority being still)
A monologue as voice over
Using non-diegetic sounds and diegetic audio

By watching this film I have also decided to incorporate the whispering, but however I will use it as
the devils voice.



Bodysong 
Bodysong (2003) is an Avant garde film that uses existing clips to creative a narrative. I will use the same idea of using existing clips to enhance my narrative. These existing clips will be apart of the still image, to help bring meaning and movement to the piece.



Pan's Labyrinth
From this film I have taken the idea of procreation and rebirth. I like how the film has images that symbolize this meaning. I will use the idea of birth and new life at the start of my short film. By doing this it will be a contrast to the theme of death and decay I will have running through and ultimately end and help to emphasis the theme.I also like the fairytale feel that the film offers. I think that it helps to demonstrate the harshness of the images seen in the film as well as showing innocence.
