WES ANDERSON


Wes Anderson is an American film director, producer, actor and screenwriter.  He has made many films like Grand Budapest Hotel, Moonrise Kingdom, Rushmore and many more influential films. He grew up in Texas where he majors in Philosophy. He then met Owen Wilson and started making short films, which some of them were aired on a local cable station. After one of his short films got popularity, they raised enough money to make a future-length film.

"I wouldn't say that I'm particularly bothered or obsessed with detail.
That's the kind of movie that I like to make, where there is an invented reality and the audience is going to go someplace where hopefully they've never been before. The details, that's what the world is made of."

Image result for The Grand Budapest HotelHannah and I are inspired by Wes Anderson as we really like how he films and directs his movies. We have also looked closely at the colours he uses in the films. We have noticed that he uses bright colours throughout his films which sometimes makes the shot more interesting. Myself and Hannah are thinking about using bright colours to make certain objects stand out, for example some of the characters or something that is important to the specific scene that you need to take note of.

The preparation before filming

Image
Before we start filming we need to make sure that Hannah and I have got all of the photos and props we need. We also need to think about the further filming steps throughout the term. To start with we have photoshoped one of the pictures we have of our Peter Pan. We have used a friend to be Peter Pan and then we have used Photoshop to make him look slightly cartoon like. We are also going to be doing this with the other characters too. We are doing this as we are not having real characters in our video, we are effectively just going to be using the photos we have. Below is he picture before and after Photoshop:

Production notes

For our A2 production, I will be working with Hannah again. We have chosen to make a music video, We have chosen the song 'Lost Boy' by Ruth B. This was not our first choice however we have decided on this song as we have had creative ideas that we think could work with the lyrics of the song. The main theme of the song is Peter pan, A lost boy, Wendy and Tinkerbell. These are the characters from the film peter pan, which we are both familiar with. Regarding the fact the song is mainly about this film, we decided to research the film and get some ideas on how creative we can be with the music video. Below is a YouTube video that someone has made with some scenes from the film. We really like the Forrest themes and the 'magical' aspect of it.

AS review

AS Evaluation Below is our final media product for AS The synopsis of our media product The synopsis of our opening sequence is a teen girl who is walking her dog when Monty (the dog) sees something in the woods. Her dog then goes missing and she attempts to look for the dog in the woods. Whilst she is in the woods mysterious occurrences start to happen which makes the sense and the feeling of the opening sequence more tense  Areas of success One of the main areas of success throughout our opening sequence was the music and the soundtrack that we used. We had come up with the idea that we would a nursery rhyme called 'In the woods'. We chose this soundtrack to influence the intention in the woods. By using it; we did feel as if it added to the opening sequence. Another area of success was our location choice. At the beginning of filming we had chosen a location choice which progressively was the wrong location choice as it didn't fit our theme very well....
