We were asked to talk about a film that we've seen recently that stood out for us and why:
for me it's 'When the Lights went out', this film really hit home for m. for a few reasons: firstly i'm a big believer in the paranormal world, and this film is based a ffew miles away from where i live and it is based on true events so it almost confirms what happens to me at my home that everyone else would put down to wind and pipes.
narrative
characters must have some element of truth, they have tp be believable within the story world.
this is shown through dialougue and interations.
fictional films are different to experimental because they follow rules and usually they are the rules of reality.
Without context things don't make sense.
causality - reasons why one thing leads to another
time - how long does it take?
space - where does it happen?
for me this lesson taught us that characters can only be believable and be related to if they have a want or goal and there is something stopping them getting it. they must have a little bit of back story or there is no way we can empathise or relate to the protaganist.
