Post 17- Recreating the orignial Kuleshov effect

-
This is our replication and recreation of the Kushelov Effect.
We filmed footage of Elsa to use as our foundation clip - this clip will be re-used throughout our product to reiterate the point of the Kushelov effect. We have also filmed three other clips; one of a breakup over text (representing sadness and upset), one of another person (Lauren) eating (intending to inflict hunger on the spectator) and one of an attractive young boy attempting to be lustful and seductive. We added all of the footage together in the correct order, as shown in the simple flow chat beneath:

ELSA ---> BREAKUP ---> ELSA ---> HUNGER ---> ELSA ---> BOY ---> ELSA

Putting the short clips in this order is replicating the Kushelov effect. The idea is that the audience will think each clip of Elsa is different, as watching different clips, which could potentially alter her emotions, may lead the audience to think she is showing a different emotion.  

We are happy with our product as we think it successfully shows good attempt to replicate Kushelov's effect.

We are using the weather as a main component to create the feel of Narnia, In the original film throughout we can see the snow, in order to recreate the snowy feel rather than snowing throughout when the Pevensie's make it to the beavers house we can see them brushing off snow showing that it did snow, the audience then makes the assumption that it was snowing adding to the whole feel of Narnia as snow has connotations of utopian weather. We also are adding clips of snow at the end of the production adding to the whole feel or Narnia. As well as this in editing we are going to add fog effect to create a mysterious feel to the video.    The next component to create Narnia was the setting, Throughout we are setting the location in the wood, we wanted it to be in the wood to create a natural setting that isn't man made, this creates a woodland feel and transports the audience to another out of this world place which is not on earth all adding to the feel ...

Setting and Lighting The setting within the image shows a city, perhaps New York City. With people surrounding the man in the red coat.  The lighting in the image shows low saturation, perhaps it is the evening time and so the sun is setting or the light is used to reflect how the character is feeling. By having the lighting on a low saturated level, it implies sadness, or anxiety and by the image showing a city it could imply that the city is causing the man his problems. A different point of view could be that the city is introducing the character as different people act in different ways depending on where they come from. For example, if the man was walking through the countryside it could imply that he is lonely and has a quiet life, but by having him walk through a city it could portray the idea that he has a busy schedule and by looking at his body language it could imply that he is not happy with where he is. Costume and Make up The first feature in which I notice ...

In the script for Narnia, these are our list of characters: Mr Beaver Mr Beaver is a comical character, however he also plays a crucial role in telling the Pevensie children that they play a crucial role in killing the Ice Queen and that Aslan is waiting for them. He seems to be the eyes and the ears of Narnia although no one expects it. Mr Tumnus and Mr Beaver seem to be close aquanitances as he gave Mr beaver the handerchief before he got taken.  Mrs Beaver Mrs Beaver is also a comical character. She plays a 'typical' 'old fashioned' female as when the children arrive she tells them that she hasnt had time to do her fur, and to "excuse the mess" as if it is her job to tidy the house. She is also the one to tell the children that they are the two sons of Adam and the two daughters of Eve.  Lucy Pevensie  Lucy Pevensie is the youngest out of the children. She was also the first to enter Narnia although that isnt the scene in which we are focu...
