Short Film Synopsis - Fractured

Simon, a 17 year old student, lacks educational ability and has found meaning in other aspects at school. Instead of being a hard worker, he mixes with students that are into drugs and violence resulting in poor attitude at home and in school, as well as disappointing his mother.
A mysterious event occurs, leaving Simon injured and stumbling through an underpass when he is snatched by a group of lads. During the time he is kidnapped he experiences a wave of flashbacks from his childhood. But nothing is as its seems and the visions seem fragmented to Simon.
Over the course of these visions, Simon is alone in the back of a van being taken to an unknown place, where he believes he will come face to face with the man who took him.
Suddenly the anticipation is over and Simon finds himself jolted upright in bed the next day.

Auteur Video Essay Feedback

Who has observed me: Caitlan Key aspects that they think I have done well: Great visual reference to recurring aesthetic qualities and overall feel of the film. Clear explanation of Nolan's choices as an auteur including cast and visuals as well as shifts in pacing. Frequent collaboration with soundtrack composer Hans Zimmer.

Fallen Angels Essay

Experimental film – Fallen Angels: Explore how far ‘Fallen Angels’ challenges conventional approaches to narrative.  Wong Kar Wai’s 1995 film challenges conventional narrative choices in many ways including structure, camera shooting styles, and the way scenes are constructed.

One scene in particular featuring very unconventional narrative choices would be the montage sequence involving forcing a man to eat ice cream, and going into stores after they’ve closed to rob them of their goods.

The Place Beyond The Pines clip analysis

The Place Beyond The Pines Clip Analysis     The Place Beyond the Pines is a drama spanning over 3 main characters and the struggles they go through, the clip we are analysing is from the first character’s story - Luke (Ryan Gosling) and how he has quit his job and is visiting his ex-girlfriend and baby who he believes to be his son. The scene opens with a diegetic voiceover and extreme long shot of the carnival which Luke rides a motorcycle in as part of a stunt act. The whole 4 minute clip can be expressed through one thing. Ryan Goslings facial expressions. The level of acting that Ryan Gosling puts into his role is phenomenal as if you take away the diegetic and non-diegetic sounds throughout the clip, you will still gain a remarkable understanding of what is happening and how he feels. At the opening of the clip, we have a close up of Ryan Gosling as he lights a cigarette and from the closeness of this, we are drawn in to his world and as we have a side on view of h
