Factory film
The absence
of colours and windows in a factory scenery made me feel sad and dull, which
helps the producer capture the message it think she was trying to get across. This
film made me feel like we waste too much time working and not enough time
enjoying life.
In my
opinion the most striking element of the film was the amount of I-stock being
used and how dull the film set was. The most interesting elements of this film were
how all the people are doing the work. In today’s society new gadgets, machines
and robots are often used in these types of working environments. In this film
the hard work is done by hand. It even shows a giant hand doing actions of picking
up and dropping things, I also find it interesting that the hand is actually
not picking anything up. This helps the producer to get her point across, this
is because the actions that the hand is doing is all for nothing. So in a way
it’s saying that maybe we are working for nothing as well and we should and
stop and enjoy life. Another interesting point in this film is the absence of
windows, which make to film set dull and grey.
I think that
there is two meanings too this film. The first meaning is that we all work too
much in todays society and sometimes it can be all for nothing and that we
should spend less time working and more time having fun. My second theory is
that the producer thinks she does a lot of work on her own with not much help.
The dullness in the film shows that she isn’t very happy about this.
My overall
impression of this film and that she use’s very good techniques and it is very
good in capturing the mood she wants to audience to get from it. I think that
she has got the meaning of the film across very well and smoothly, although
some of the parts in this film I don’t get but maybe the director did that
because she didn’t want to audience to and it was a secret to her.
The sounds
played an important part in this film. Use of factory noises in the background
helped to make the movie set sound boring and unenjoyable. The background
sounds played a big part on the mood of the film, they made me feel bored, sad
and they made think about why should have to spend our life in places like that
if we live in such a beautiful world.
This
animator’s technique in this film is simple and smooth. She makes good used of
I-stock and photo-shop throughout the clip and her storyboard comes across very
well and gives you many ideas on what is trying to be put across to you.
This
animation would have been very well planed. Everything in this clip has a
meaning to it; from the use of no windows to the black and white scenery
everything has been planed to make you get the impression that this is a very
sad and boring working space. She has also used objects like ands and
milkshakes to get you thinking about what is the meaning behind the film.
