Product Research: Shine


                                                  

In thinking about how I will film to create a feeling of being free I came across a film called 'Shine' (a 1996 film about a pianist, David Helfgott, who has a mental breakdown and spends years in institutions) that has a scene where the main character is bouncing on a trapoline. This is filmed so that he jumps up and down into shot but it is slowed down. This gives it a sense of freedom (the character is is finally enjoying himself, feeling free) and openess that I am looking for. Watch the clip bellow then read what I am thinking of doing for my music video.


In my music video I will use the same technique that they have used in 'Shine'. I will film the character in the song rising into shot in slow motion by having them jumping on a trampoline and filming with a low angle shot. This will give the sense of feedom that the drugs give the character in the song, showing his release.
