1) Find five arthouse film clips or sequences – ideally in a genre similar to your film idea or preferred genre. There is a list of example arthouse films on the blog.
2) Write an analysis of each two- to three-minute sequence using everything you have learned about film language (camerawork, sound, mise-en-scene, editing etc.)
3) Research the target audience for each film (including the BBFC certificate) and produce your own assessment of who it appeals to and why.
You should be aiming for at least 300 words per film - you may write much more than this.
Arthouse films
There are a huge number of arthouse and independent films out there - you may well know of many yourself. These are a few to get your research started if you're unsure:
- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
- It Follows
- Girlhood
- Donnie Darko
- The Falling
- Run Lola Run
- La Haine
- Boyhood
- Lilting
- Borrowed Time
- Monsters
- Appropriate Behavior
You need to find YouTube clips of scenes from these films (not trailers - though you may want to watch the trailer to find out more about the narrative). There are usually scenes available, for example:
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Girlhood
Donnie Darko
The Falling
Your existing product film research is due on Friday 4 December.
