The cinematic colour change and the feedback of last tutorial.

This video shows the original colour of my shooting footage and the colour that I want. The colour before looks more warm than after, because the actor looks sad and frustrated, so cool colour is better to strengthen the emotion. Because my story is a tragedy so i will choose the cool colour throughout the whole film.

After last week's tutorial. My tutor Jools gave me an inspiration what I want to explain but haven't find a right word. He suggested that fairy tale is not the story itself, it somehow hints the moral under the surface. These are the words I realized but never talked about. It helped me to understand deeper of fairy tale film. Besides, the moral under the story was what every film should be, especially the films in China tended to be. I had seen the documentaries witch named 'A Bite of China'.

They were produced by Chinese Central Television(CCTV). The status of it was equivalent to BBC in UK. In the past, the documentaries in China were like, the cameraman followed some animals and recorded their daily routine. These films are just recorded something but never leaded to some deep aspects. However, 'A Bite of China' is a food documentary apparently, but it contain the meaning that food could be a chain to connect the whole world. For every family, no matter where you go, the taste of hometown will notice you 'know where you are going, but don't forget whence you have come.' This was the highest quality of Chinese documentary so far. Even though, many inspectors commented that 'A Bite of China' is somehow imitated BBC documentaries style. But the depth of films was step forwards.

As for my research, put the pedagogical meaning into my narrative is my new aim. I hope my film could reveal something that helps audience know more about themselves.

New script: Mask

This is totally changed version of the script Mind reader. I've add more conflicts and more wonder elements in the script. I think it is better than the previous one.

          INT. A DARK ROOM

                             
                    Do you love me? Do you love
                    me(echo)...Do you love me (echo)...

          John and Ann stares at each other. The frame dissolve and
          switch between their face constantly. When the last time
          switch to John, he wears a mask.

          INT. ANN'S BEDROOM

          Ann lays in her bed and opens her eyes. She pants for
          breath.

          The door of her wardrobe is cracking. She gets up and creeps
          out towards the wardrobe. She opens it while a spirit stands
          behind her.

                              SPIRIT PAN
                    Hi, Ann. My name is Pan. Do you
                    want to see something you ever seen
                    before? If yes, you should not say
                    anything about what you seen. If
                    you break your promise, you'll....
                    Bangbangbang...(Door knocking)

                              LOTTE
                    Ann.. Ann.. Are you ok?
                    Bangbangbang...(Door knocking)

          While Ann look to the door, Pan goes away.

          Ann opens the door. Lotte points her watch.

                              LOTTE
                    It's 15 o'clock, could you get up
                    earlier? Well, your boyfriend will
                    come and give you something made by
                    his mom later. Your phone is turned
                    off, so he calls me.

          Visual effects: An image appears in front of Lotte's heart.
          The frame split into half, left side is Ann, right side is
          John, they are talking through phones.

          eyes, the image is still there.

                              LOTTE
                    Ann, Ann.. Are you hearing me?

          Lotte waves her hand in front of Ann's eyes.

                              ANN
                    No...yeah...yeah... OK..OK.

          Ann closes her door, she turns back and goes to open the
          wardrobe.

                              ANN
                    Pan, are you still there? Pan.

          She rummages through her wardrobe, nobody is there.

          INT. KITCHEN

          Ann is having breakfast. Lotte is washing dishes.
                         Door bell rings

          Lotte wipes her hand and goes to open the door.(Lotte is in
          an her nightdress)

                              JOHN
                    Hi, Lotte.

          John walks in with a bag in his hand. Lotte turns back, face
          to Ann. They stand side by side. John speak to Ann.

                              JOHN
                    You always turn off your phone.
                    Lotte is the only way I can contact
                    you. Here are some dry fruits made
                    by my mum.

          Ann's eyes are dull.

                              JOHN
                    Ann?

          Ann walks forward bumps into Lotte and John and runs away.

                              LOTTE
                    Ann.. Ann..

          EXT. STREET NIGHT

          She holds a bottle of beer and sits on the road her. Lots
          of empty bottles lay on the street. John calls her
          constantly, she hangs up constantly. She make a phone call
          to Sophia.

                              ANN
                    I want to see you.. Newton...
                    Street, right now.

          Ann hangs up her phone and turns off it. She cries out.

          Long shot from Ann's left: Sophie's back runs into the frame
          and stopped.

          Ann rises her head a bit and looks at Sophie's feet.

                              ANN
                    Do you know John, he...

                              (SOUND)PAN
                    Remember, don't say anything about
                    what you seen.

                              SOPHIE
                    John...John?

          Sophie lower her head.

          Visual effects: Sophia's heart shows she saw John and Lotte
          arm in arm on the street.

          Ann stand up, her tear drops down.

                              ANN
                    You know everything! Why don't you
                    tell me the truth! None of you tell
                    me the truth!

          Ann runs away and cries.

          The traffic lights turns red.

          EXT. STREET SHOP WINDOW

          She runs in front of a shop window and sees her reflection.
       

          Visual effects: She can clearly see her heart broken into

          Next morning, someone walks pass by, he pick the mask up and
          looks for a while. Then he wears it and walks away.

          End.
