Beautiful Losers

Last night I watched this documentary feature film by Aaron Rose. It focuses on the work of a group of artists who began a movement in the art world using D.I.Y aesthetics from grafitti and underground music. Many of these artists are interviewed about their style and why they chose to do it, their teenage years, and how they got to where they are now.  
I really enjoyed this film, it managed to maintain my interest all the way through (something that's very hard to do) and I found it very inspirational.
However, it has definitely put me off ever trying to film something like this as it took roughly six years for ninety minutes of footage to be filmed and put together.

Moodboard


This is the moodboard for my film opening. It has locations like the ones I intend to use, props that I will use and features of my actor.

The Fourth Wall

The Fourth Wall is an imaginary wall that divides the audience and the actor. It is when the boundary is broken and the actor directly speaks to and engages with the audience. I don't think I would consider 'breaking the fourth wall' in my film as after watching films such as Ferris Bueller's Day Off I think that it is a hard thing to pull off and I don't feel that it would work with the genre that I am in, as it is quite serious and breaking the fourth wall would spoil the mood.
