PJ Roden Media Blog questions

1. The people that are represented in my film as there are only two charchacters is Ryan a middle aged man whos life is going nowhere and has been told he is going to die in 12 weeks and he is portrayed as depressed angry and upset at the sate of his life. The other charchacter who has a minor role is the nurse who is portrayed as caring as she is delviring such devasting news to someone and is trying to tell him without hurting him to much. we represented Ryans flat as messy dirty unhygenic and his kitchen the same and his kitchen is seen as a place you would not want to eat anything there. The theme in this is the constant unlukyness that Ryan has to deal with I.E the stae of hsi house the fact he is unemployed redundent and is going to die in 12 weeks. The time period in this is all on the same day and is roughly along 1-2 hours.
2. The text which i have created includes a person who lives a bad lifestyle and is misfortunate and it soley focus on him. However it exclueds anyone with a rich or happy lifestyle as there are no people represented in this way in my film.
3. The form of realism that i have created is the real life bad situations that people can find themselfs living in even when they dont plan or expect it to happen to them espically with facing the reality of sudden death. We shjow this by showing the shot reaction of ryan when he is told he has 12 weeks to live and we show his reaction of shock which shows how unexpected the news was for him.
4. The mise-en-scene of the film shows the real world textual as it portrays real elements of real life situations as the film is set in an ordinary flat and eveyrthing in the surrunding background is normal so by doing this it shows that death can hit anyone who lives a normal lifestyle. The acting is also very normal as Mori who plays ryan shows how he feels about death as he screams and shouts when given the news and this shows a normal reaction that someone would have when given such bad news like that. The music we have used is very sad so that it fits the mood of the film and makes you feel even more sorry for poor ryan. The camera work uses alllot of close up shots to show how people are feeling like when ryan finds out the news of his death we zoom in on him to show how devasated he is and this shows the real reaction someone would have and puts it the bigger picture.
