Post-Apocalyptic Film Opening

soundtrack for film

Here are a few ideas for background music in my post apocalyptic film:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVtOG5QbV6Q - I think this would be good background music for my post-apocalyptic film opening because the bass is very deep, its very rocky and this sounds creepy, also would help build up the tension for the audience.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wt9HkpIX7EY - This is also a potential idea for my post apocalyptic movie as it is very high pitched and this would make the audience feel uncomfortable and irritated just like the characters in the film.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAEsdLtjq2U - I think this is a very good piece of background music for my post-apocalyptic film as it builds up the tension to the ending of the film.

moodboard

This is my moodboard created to show different costumes and settings of the post apocalyptic genre. this helped while planning for my post apocalyptic film opening because it gave us help choosing the correct set and costume for characters. I chose to use these photos to inspire me on costume and prop ideas, which I took into consideration when planning my costume when going out filming.

Costume and Props

 Men                 

Women

These costume ideas influenced me for my post apocalyptic film, for example the representation of women wearing skirts, t shirts and weapons, stereotypes woman survivors.

Foley

1. What is a Foley artist?
When something is filmed and the sound is taken out, a Foley artist does actions to make the sounds and then this sound is put into the film.
2. Who was Foley?
Jack Foley, he established the basic modern techniques still used today. Like most terms that are named in honour of a person, it is customary to spell Foley with a capital 'F'.
3. Why are Foley artists needed?
without Foley, a film sounds empty and hollow - the actors seem to be talking in a vacuum. The sound recordist, if they did a good job, has given us the dialogue and excluded everything else, but our films needs more than this for the picture to come alive. we need to hear little sounds of clothes, furniture etc.
4. Give examples of how Foley artists traditionally achieve their outcomes and how is it completed nowadays?
Increasingly, many simply Foley sound fx are done without Foley artists, the sound effects are stored electronically and performed by the post production sound engineer on a keyboard while watching the visual. Doing it this way is much cheaper than renting a Foley stage and paying Foley artists to create the Foley sound effects.

Representation - Male Gaze Theory

Are Women Still Objectified?

• 1970's Hollywood, male driven society industry.
• Audience and makers mainly male of specific genres.
• Laura Mulvey - Laura Mulvey's Male Gaze theory. Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema was an essay written by Laura Mulvey. An essay which coined the term “Male Gaze” which soon went on to become a very well know and discussed theory. In film, the male gaze occurs when the audience is put into the perspective of a heterosexual man.
• Medium always shows women in the view of a male perspective, this shows male dominance.
• Male Gaze = perspective of audience.
• Producer, audience and male character's point of view women in the film. this is shown by props, eye contact, facial expressions that may or may not be choreographed or rehearsed and is just the male characters response.
• Producer = mostly a man, camera lensing affect taking a masculine point of view    

                                 -meaning that we will view women from  a male perspective.
                                 -shots linger on a females body, curves and assets, reducing them to know more
                                   than eye candy for a heterosexual audience. 

• Male audience = prime desire to look at the human body. Humans get sexual pleasure from naked bodies.
• Male characters = women are there to be looked at - to draw audiences attention. Guys in audience and in film sharing a joke on womens body, gestures and actions. Men have power over women.
• Female form serves men for visual pleasure.
