Feeling the Film

I want to capture my film in a very nice and smooth way. I know for a fact I want my pacing to be slow and steady. I don't want my audience to be bored, but I also don't want them suspended. My movie is not meant to make people feel rushed and or stressed. It is a coming of age film, so that would not be my overall purpose. I want to create long shots primarily, to make my pacing slow and steady.

Blue is the Warmest Color (2013)

As far as mise-en-scene goes, I want to make colors very bland (which I plan to edit in post-production) But make my main subject (the main character) stand out and have more interest. In the movie Blue is the Warmest Color (2013), the main character has blue hair that stands out while everything else is greyed a little and not as vibrant. It is used to create meaning that I want to use in my film as well and incorporate it somehow.

Juno (2007)

For sound, I want background sound to be very mellow, and emphasize certain sounds to create an ominous feel. I most likely want my character riding a bike, so the chain clicks will most definitely be emphasized in the opening scene. I want very upbeat music to be playing for sure, and I am thinking of placing a voice-over narration, but only if it will look good in post-production. I think I may not just to make my film feel more free and ominous.


I want the look to be very realistic and I want to emphasize the little things in life overall. I hope to encapture this a little better in my story-boarding so that I can have a clear, clean idea of what I want to see in my film and how I want audiences to receive this film.
