Hey guys, I've not posted in ages I know. I've been really busy and stuff but now I have something to blog about so here we go!
As I am back at Uni now, I have a massive project to do. I've decided to make a film which I am going to write, direct and edit.
I have started to look at different films for some inspiration as I normally get writers block, and because the films I like to write are always a bit mystical and psychological they aren't the easiest to churn out.
My film will be a bit like Donnie Darko, Jacobs Ladder and Angel Heart, which brings me to the point of my blog,
My tutor recommended that I watch the film Angel Heart, directed by Alan Parker. It is a very dark visual piece with fantastic editing and camera work. It amazed me just how close the story is to the film I am writing too!
It's a film about Identity and the devil. It's very cryptic and have a deep story which is fantastic! The visuals are fantastic too! For example, the opening shot if of a dark alleyway with a blue light cast over it. We see a silhouette of a man walking down the alley while the camera remains static. A dog begins to sniff around and there are cut aways to an observing cat. There is no dialogue in this scene as the visuals tell the story. This is how I want my film to be.
If you havent seen Angel Heart I really suggest you watch it! It is fantastic! It also has Robert De Nero in it.
check it out!
