Screenshots

This close up of the man holding the wedding ring is effective and the depth of field makes it look professional. This screenshot is important to the film as the ring is significant to the film. The fact that the ring is in focus and the man is not shows how meaningful the ring is and how it creates a sense of relationship around the tree.
This screenshot shows the technology part of the film and creates suspense as the audience don't know what is going to happen. The fact it is shot in the rear view mirror shows how the man is out of focus with what he is doing and lack of concentration. Also, the trees in the background link to the tree significance and keeps us wondering what is going to happen.
This romantic snap shot of a flashback from the film is a positive image, but you can tell it is a flashback because of the slight sepia and happy looking scene. The central image focused around the tree makes the tree a place of happiness and blooming relationships.
This screenshot is effective as it shows the gin glass, a prop used to show a troubled character and the photo of the young boy suggests family. But, the reflection of the photo in the table suggests ghostly effect. Also, the empty paracetamol shows drug abuse and a distressing fact that something bad has happened.

These photos are screen shots from our film and indicate how the film looks and gives an idea about some of the scenes.


Inspiration


This film poster for Six Feet Under reminds me of the tree we are using for our film. The poster is very effective as the tree is central and seems sacred, as it has a glow around it and is near the top of the page, suggesting it's importance. This poster gives me inspiration for my film poster, which is going to be centered around an image of my tree, emphisising it's importance and significance to the film.

Location Shots





















This tree was too big and had too many trees behind it so wasn't suitable for our film.




















This shot was a practice for the man hanging himself.




We chose this smaller, lonelier tree to use in our film as it represents lonliness and also looks like a family tree; the name of our film.
