Benjamin Reeve Coursework

Rough Cut 1 Monologue This is my first rough cut, I wanted to make sure that the monologue was good before filming. This was also contributed by the fact that my actress was unavailable for the deadline of the first rough cut, therefore, I have made sure that the audio for the monologue was good. However, the audio isn't clear enough and I will be redoing the recording of the monologue to improve the outcome.  

These are some practice shots that i have done for the NEA Coursework to make sure that i know what kind of shots i would like to use in the coursework to make sure that it meets the mark scheme for camera shots and angles.

This is my 2nd draft its almost finished just needs to be a bit longer and needs a few changes. Monologue:    With all my heart I have missed you, it's been two weeks now and that’s two weeks to long. I didn’t know how I would survive without you, it hard when you're not here, however I guess that’s the problem with living it often leaves people alone, the other problem is mankind strive for conversation and one another, and without you I'm scared.  Why aren't you here? You said I’ll never leave you, yet you're not here you have disappeared; stop appearing in my dreams, stopped coming around my house and I don’t know what to do about it? Why did you stop? Why did you go? Maybe it was me, no don’t be silly I can't control destiny I can only try to my best to get on with my life and never forget you or your kindness, your manners and your bright smile and your amazing bright personality. But where are you now that I need you. You can fix it all, bu

Change of NEA Idea The new idea for my coursework is having a person sitting and waiting for another person to arrive, they are thinking in their head, the inner monologue will be heard by the audience in a non-diegetic style to make a personal connection between the main actress/actor. The monolouge isnt about the person they are meeting its actually about their fathers funeral. The main actor will then be waiting for the other person to arrive, in a pub or cafe or library, a place like that but will be doing things like checking there phone and, drinking a coffee etc or i may use a park bench and so it an open space and there are people walking around the park in front of the camera as well as kids playing in the park. I will show this through a over the shoulder shot, and other close ups etc. Once the other person arrives like in E.T. you never see there face and you just hear them talk and the main actor picks up the pile of funeral cards that are in front of her and one falls on

Final Idea  My final NEA idea is to create a documentary about my late Grandfather Phillip who i would like to learn about as i have no memory of him, as he passed away when i was a year old. This means that i will have to use members of my family to get the story of his life. This is a story that i wanted to create as i wanted to show his wonderful and extremely eventful life, and i also wanted to create a documentary to do with my family as i think it would be a nice way to remember and reflect. Narrative Application -  There will be a semi linear narrative that recalls the story of my grandfather Phillip but there will be non linear elements of stock footage as well as the, photos. I hope to make the film easy and simple to comprehend by using the chronological order to the film going through year by year. Mise - en - Scene Application Setting - The setting that will be used be used are home environments such as my house, my nans house and my aunties house. Hair & Makeup - Hai
