RESEARCH AND PLANNING- STOP MOTION

Inspiration:

We was inspired by this music video and its small subtle changes that build to a greater picture, (in this instance the greater picture being the entire plot & story). Thus we are using stop motion in our piece but rather with the symbols than our actual characters.

Here is an screen shot of our Final Cut Pro where we have the stop motion of the cracking of an egg. We had it placed within wooded ground (to match the mis en scene of our location), but it was cracked at 10 second intervals with a mobile phone. Then we split into a segments of approx 0.7-1.0 seconds in groups of 4 clips. This is all revolving around our symbol of the egg as a means of vulnerability and delicate destruction of a fragility. 

Here are some screen shots of what these shots look like. As you can see they are high angle close ups enough to get the detail of the cracks on the eggs, but far enough that the whole egg fits into the frame (we used a large egg, so that it could sustain shape despite being cracked).

This is the penultimate frame and image of the egg, as we previously noted on past posts this inevitable destruction is a mirror for our protagonist's mental state and psychological decay.

The blue tint is post production element which is to fit our colour scheme of blue, (see the tag 'colour scheme' to find posts in relations to our reasons why) we managed to produce this with the 'Tint" video effect in the "Color" section of Final Cut Pro.
