Inspiration: Requiem For a Dream
Requiem for a dream (RFD) uses montages of extremely short shots throughout the film, also known as a hiphop montage, or experimental editing. Splitscreen is used extensively throughout along with extreme close ups, long tracking shots, tying the camera to the actor, time lapse photography, and fast forwarding and slow motion are used alot. The camera angles and shot types are so dynamic in RFD, i shook with exitement at the sheer genius of the camera work. It is a truly spectacular master piece, and it is where i draw much of my inspiration. The huge contrast in shots makes the audience feel disorientated, and thet feel mixed emotions about the characters, this is what i aim to achieve.
Here is an example of the "hiphop montage" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7Dp7eZjC2g
This is our Hip-Hop Montage that we made in a media lesson, it is simply "how to make a cup of tea". All of us helped with the filming, directing and editing.
