For my Final Major Project, I wanted to experiment with different types of shots, from wide to close-ups, and with different perspectives. I wanted my film to feel dynamic and fun with the different ranges of shots I used. The first shots of the film are wide shots, as those captured better the feel of Alentejo vast plains. After introducing the boy, Francisco, jump between close-ups, mid shots and medium long shots to show his facial expressions and emotions, but still using long shots to show better his action and the space around him.
Even though part of my film is in the boy imagination, I wanted to keep the space around him faithful to reality, as you see in the Research folder on my blog.
Unfortunately for the hand-in my Composer wasn’t able to finish the music for my film. So I used the piece, “lil’ bamboo”, from the film “Tales of Princess Kaguya”, because the song is similar to what I want for my film and shows better the how light-heart and simple I want the music to sound.
