In my tutorial, Russel told me that when creating a film that is longer than 2 minutes there will be a struggle to keep the audience interested therefore I decided to create a Trilogy: 3, 1 minute films.
This will make it more interested as well as give me more options to publish on my website. In order to do so I decided to carry out some research on trilogy films to get some inspiration and in depth knowledge.
Trilogy is a set of three works of art that are connected and can be seen as a a singe work or 3 different pieces.
Inspiration
Holi Holy - A Manish Arora Film Directed by Bharat Sikka
The reason why this film caught my attention was because of its description and narrative :
"As the scene opens, we're enveloped instantly by something that's lonely and has been left to wither away and decay. Forlorn and alone, we see Bishi's back turned to the camera as she walks down an inner lane of a village inviting dusk. She joins a congregation of young and old widows in a prayer room, all dressed in white saris and at different points of degeneration. They look dusty like old objects. There is a transition and an explosion of color with a celebration in the streets of a small village where there's confusion as well as excitement among its dwellers in the novelty of the few 50 widows that reluctantly and joyously (secretly) mingle around and amongst the village people. With smiles that they've finally broken into, covered in Holi color and Manish Arora's vivid clothes. We now understand that the forgotten women are part of the community again. But only for a short while. Bishi is then captured and sits in a small boat in a lake, rowed by a single small man, half her size. He cannot fathom why she sings an inaudible melody. She is dark, strong, and her eyes along with her voice are like two in a band show after a long journey."
The storyline behind this film is transmitted into a film beautifully and it got me thinking about two things : MUSIC & NARRATIVE.
Rhianna secret garden campaign DIOR. This film inspired me to think about the use of PROPS, such as bags, shoes etc. As well as making use of locations and shooting the background briefly to add mystery with the SHOTS.
