Trying to make fake wounds

We tried to make realistic looking wounds for something to do in our short films. We used wax to make the outline of what we wanted the wound to look like and then used a paste we made form flour, water and red food colouring to add the open flesh wound effect. Also to make it look as if the blood had dried up, we used tea leaves and mud to make the blood look darker and congealed.

evaluation

My short film shows representation of social status and family and relationships. In my short film, two brother trolls are torn apart by their different views on how they should be living. When one troll leaves the other to peruse a normal life in the town, his distraught brother desperately searches the surrounding areas to find him. The desperation he shows when searching for his brother through character expression and movement represents the importance of family to him. This is shown by the amount of people that he asks if they have seen him. Also, by the panic shown by character expression and movement when he first turns around at the river to realise his brother has left him. Lastly, when he is seen crouching by the river with the photo of his brother. On the other hand, it could be said that for the other brother that family isn’t very important this is why he leaves.

I read a news story with the title "I met a troll in Stockholm" the story wasn't actually about a troll and the title was probably just to get people to read it. But the title made a spark in my imagination I created the idea that I could make a short film in which there is a troll living under a bridge. everyone sees the troll as a bad person and everyone tries to stay as far away from him as possible. one day a young guy sees the troll and asks him to go into town with him. He is first really anxious to leave the bridge but when he agrees to leave he has a great time with his newly made friend. he is looked at with disgust and people are pointing and laughing at him which is a shot that I could do from the trolls perspective to add to the mise en scene. In the end, the troll manages to save his friend by either saving him from being hit by a car or falling off of something. one other idea I also had was that I could introduce a troll hunter that is out to get the troll ...

The 3 act structure

The three act structure is how a lot of narrative fiction is structured. It consists of a beginning, conflict and resolution of the conflict. The beginning is the character development where you meet the characters and learn a little about them before the main part of the story. The next part in the story is the conflict where the story element of the film starts. It initiates the start of the resolution which might entail the protagonist learning new skills to defeat the obstacle or overcome a problem. The last part of the 3 act structure is the resolution where the obstacle or problem is overcome by the main protagonist. usually ending by the main character winning or getting what they want.
