The New Tomorrow

this clip of the channel five TV series captured a possible costume inspiration for our bohemian characters.

Where The Wild Things Are

this incredible film is very inspirational in regards to the cinematograpy of the bohemian/happy characters. the fun cheerful youthful style reflects the free natured attitude of these characters perfectly.

Bohemian Inspiration

this video clip taken form an old musical displays a gypsy camp and explores the sense of mise on scene we would like to reproduce and emulate within our own thriller opening in relation to the living environment of the bohemian characters.

Preliminary Exercise Analysis

As a result of editing our video we realized that it was of quite a short length and we should have possibly introduced more dialog or more experimental camera shots to take the piece to the next level. It would have also be possible to alter the storyline extending either the beginning or the end. However we did successfully use an extreme close up of a book being slammed shut, emphasizing the emotion and restrained physical ability of the character.

Bohemian Definition

Preliminary Project

Preliminary Exercise

We were asked to compose a short film sequence in which we included dialog and a number of different camera angles. After having failed at this 3 times due to a faulty tape, we then produced another on a new tape.

Thriller Ideas

As a group we have developed a couple of different ideas for our thriller opening. these ideas we will use as starting points for our thriller and will go on to develop them further to a point when we have a finalised idea.

idea 1
the first idea is to focus the idea around two police men. the two police men will meet a criminal in a clearing in a forest. here on eof the police men will position himself behind the other and stab him in the back. then the criminal will give the policemen some money, and so displaying the dodgy dealings o the first policeman.

idea 2
this idea is also based in a forrest. it is centered around a bohemian camp. a group o people living wild and free in the forrest, indulging in drugs etc. the scene shows them in a high state, mesmorised by light etc. then it will cut to one of them falling backwards, before jumpcutting to  a shot of one of the bohemians dead in the grass at night.

idea 3
the third idea is a based in the city, and concentrates on a chase.........(need to find out form mckenzie what the rest was LOL)

Inspiration

this is a picture taken by James Meisel for italian vogue, it shows a bohemian camp and costumes. 

i have put together these images as a source of inspiration for my thriller opening. they consist of images in relation top the bohemian characters in the thriller.

this is another photograph form wild is the win by James Meisel, it displays costumes that would fit the part of the bohemian in our thriller opening

this is a character from the television series, the tribe. 

althouhg the costumes of these characters are slightly more industrial and corporate, they still display individuality, and could help to inspire our bohemian characters.

this is also from the tribe. the outfits here are a perfect example of the free spirited characters a costumes will will be using.

this again is a slightly more industrial costume, which works with our thriller idea, as the bohemians still need to have some contact with the world.

this is max from where the wild things are. he is dressed up as a wolf an is an embodiment f the lifestyle and fredom we want our bohemian characters to display.

dream catchers are often associated with new age and free spirited people., and so a dream catcher would make a great scene prop.

the hat being modeled here shows the free spirited natural living that bohemian people are known for and would make a perfect accessory for the costumes.

this is rom the wild is the wind shoot by James Miesel for italian vogue

this is a great picture of a travelling family. they have a gypsy wagon and zebra, demonstrating the quirky free spirited nature of the characters.
