Plans

I began planning this project by creating this mind map. I find this is a good way to get down lots of ideas that can them be taken on and refined. I like to see everything in front of me, this way it is easier to pick out individual thinkgs that I can carry forward and develop.


Firstly while watching the clip I jotted down things that occured to me. These are the red sections. To me it seemed that this was clearly a woman driven mad. Immediatey I decided that I wanted to show her mental state and tell the story of what's going on in her head. This is the path my notes tended to go down.

There also seems to be a strong element of time to the film, so again this is something I want to show. I think I will do this with a relentless clock. Tis also ties into the idea of madness, the idea of a relentless ticking clock in the background will be a good way to portray a decaying mental state.

I want to make a definition between the interior and exterior locations. What I got from thr film is that the external shots represent a sort of freedom while the interior shows emtrapment and madness. I aim to portray this by in the interior shots building up an intense loud sound track and on the exterior shots cutting it all away and have a very sibdued breeze and the silk curtains rustline. I think this will create a nice contrast, helping to tell the story.


I think that while portraying er mental state it is important to create a sense of fear and desperation as well as madness.

I aim to use a mixture of foley and designed sound. i think that it is important that the cadence and changing volume is used in a manner which depicts a sens of the characters mind. I want to use some string elements aswell as  think that a string instrument is a great portrayed of emotion. I think that if I record some discordiant groans and such and them manipulate them I can create an effective sound to convet madness. I also want heavy emphasis on the eriting and on the paper as it is clear to me that this is a majorly important part of the film. My main aim is not to create a sense of the place she is in, but what her mental state.
