"Submarine Film" Activities

Before Viewing: 

• music video have special sort effect as the videos tends to match to the music tempo often and they are like a mini film almost within, the space of time it tells a story  and tends to be very creative and up beat. if this technique is carried out in a film then it makes it more interesting visually even if its narrative is not as interesting.
• recent one movie that popped up my head which is related is star-wars movie which looks sort of similar to 

After Viewing: 

The Voice over and the Narrative:

• The effects achieved by having Oliver speak directly to audience through voiceover is that it gives out his thought his intention, his emotions we, as audience can understand him better.
• to a certain there is a gap between what Oliver tell us about himself and what we see because his his decision and intention vary from what he ends up doing the reaction he gets isn't necessarily what he intended to get in the first place.

The Voiceover and Literature:

• I do feel like the film was quite literary, feeling like an adaptation of a book mainly because of the voiceover which sounded like a diary entry of a book, where character conveys his or hers emotions and thoughts

Seriousness, Comedy and the Voiceover:

• To an extend I did feel the film's comedy came from from tension between what Oliver says he understood through his voiceover and what he actually understood. because often he thought he could handle the situation based on his understanding but cause he had misinterpretation this created comedy.

Submarine, Welshness and British and Britishness

• One of the romantic sequence in the film was shot at industrial landscape, which is shot very beautiful making the ordinary look extraordinary it was one scene that I got attracted keep my directory thoughts on, `i think the use lighting, camera shot and angles made look special as it did, especially because it was shot at night time.
• I think it really depends on the narrative or story of the film, but keeping that in mind target audience is very important too in terms advertising and success therefore, it important to give the feeling of belonging and link to audience through location you choose to shoot.
