Shawshank Redemption- hope
"Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane" Red
Directed by Frank Darabont, 'the Shawshank Redemption' tells the story of a wrongly convicted murderer who faces two life sentences for the death of his wife and her lover. Despite losing his freedom and sometimes dignity he never lost hope.
There are many targets which can be made to help assist with the production of a trailer next year. These vary from the research and planning to the practical side of the creation of the trailer. I have learnt a lot new skills which will be revisited next year.
The timing of the filming is a main section we would need to focus on, this is because we struggled to find the time and motivation to go outside and film due to different commitments each of us encountered. This soon led to problems with the locations we had planned to film in because the weather was changing increasingly quickly which meant there was no form of continuation so the scenes were looking different. In the end we had to try and fit all the filming into a 1 week time bracket due to re-filming scenes. This proved difficult however we managed to complete it.
Another area we would try to improve in would be the use of lighting, this is because we did not take into consideration the affect lighting has on the way a film is perceived by the audience. The lighting differs from when our antagonist enters the home and when the protagonist comes home, even though this could be seen as a logical idea, the gap between the two characters entering was too small to have a large difference in lighting. The lighting in the house should have also been adjusted to make the protagonist seem more vulnerable than how she was originally portrayed.
In our next film-making we aim to use a variety of different locations which would seem a lot more challenging. Due to the difference in criteria for next year, it has hard to predict what will have to change, because making a trailer is completely different to

    The movie is extremely well put together, the props, scene arrangements, camera movements and angles. Even with the film being in black and white the lighting was well played and designed. The mise en scene was laid out, positioned and selected methodically to encase the simplicity but elegant comforts of a stationary life that someone who wants to settle down. The set and setup contains the mundane and dullness of staying put that one would feel who like to be on the go. Not only does mise en scene, lighting, setting, camera movement and location en-capture and speaks to and out for both of the main characters it sets the mood and aids the story to grab its viewer to help them relate.…

    The Shawshank Redemption (1994) is a spectacular feature film directed by Frank Darabont who adapted Stephen King’s novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption (Different Seasons collection). First things first, the poster of the movie has these words “Fear can hold you prisoner, Hope can set you free” on it. This quote clearly explains the power of hope freedom. Now moving to the movie itself, there have been many amazing prison dramas in the past so how does Shawshank Redemption filled with so many clichés differ from them? The movie is spread across a long period of time letting the simplest things take a fuller meaning the smallest details have their importance. This is what makes the main difference. In a place where everything has…

    Director Frank Darabont wrote and directed the film “The Shawshank Redemption” which was based on a novella by Stephen King. “The Shawshank Redemption” touches our hearts and creates warmth in our feelings as it makes us a member of the family as Frank Darabont tells the slow and gentle tale of loving friendship and hope. A Shawshank newcomer (White guy who worked in a bank) in 1946 Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), bangs up a 20-year friendship with a black guy named Red (Morgan Freeman) while in prison. It uses the sweet, soothing and soft voice overs of Red to include us in the story of men forming a community in prison. It isn’t one of those films where it offers us quick, in cloud nine feelings. It accomplishes in avoiding the familiar.…

    As far as a critique for this book goes, I cannot say much that I would change. While the story was at times slow, that is to be expected with a narrative that describes real life accounts. I personally did not enjoy the book as much as I thought I would, the reason for this is because I am not a fan of the style…

    Our brief was to create the opening sequence of a new thriller film, or the opening sequence of a new children’s TV programme of any genre, or a series of three advertisements for a local or regional event. My group wrote down an idea each for all three briefs and we decided to continue with the thriller film brief. The opening sequence should include titles and should be approximately two minutes long.

    What really stood out for me was the exceptional use of such simple effects. In each scene the simplistic setting would not be able to portray a realistic one so a simple use of layering and only lighting what you want the audience to see, with the added accompaniment of sound effects would give the intended audience reaction the director (Robin Herford) wants.…
