When editing our film opening today we used the Opacity tool which allows you to place one clip on top of another. We did this as we wanted to achieve a sense of fantasy, of entering into the thought process of olez, the older man who feels jealous of the younger man and his successful friendships with girls.
 |
Olez is depicted as a troubled character who
fantasizes about the beautiful girl who is out of his reach. He broods
on images of her, in particular, her long hair and how she moves. He
clearly has an unhealthy interest in her as he experiences a mixture if
desire and resentment. Using the opacity tool allows us to stimulate the mixture of feelings that
he is experiencing and lets the audience into his mental state.
We
deliberately introduce images of the sharp fish knife that olez uses for
work as he broods on his resentment and frustration. By overlaying images of the girl with images of the knife, we
convey how he is starting to think of using violence as an outlet for
his feelings. The knife is positioned over the girls body in order to connote violence.
Your work here shows articulate reflection about the rationale behind your process. it is also beautifully clear in its presentation. You make good use of the visual medium. Keep it up!
