Banksy Interview.
I have found that voice modifying is a great way to hide a person’s identity… thanks to this method it could be hard to tell the age and sex of the victim when the voice is covered over by effects. I also found the way the questions were displayed quite interesting instead of an active dialog which can sometimes become quite boring!
I have been watching several videos of victims speaking out about their attackers and have been observing their speech and how their identity is concealed : here the lighting shadows their faces.
For my project I have been inspired by the work of animal rights activist group Anonymous for the Voiceless who hit the streets to educate people on the farming industry. I have been especially intrigued about the “anonymous” side of it and the unselfish work these people do in the interest of animal liberation.
This is another example of hunger games, and I want to use the Mockingjay as the main symbol, and the arrow through the beginning to the end, and finally shoot the mockingjay around fire.
‘The Two Ronnies’ was a comedy sketch show on BBC One during the 70s and 80s which featured the double act of Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett.
In this sketch the ‘sweet shop’ the shop keeper gets himself into trouble by priding himself that “nothing is too much trouble” and that customers can be as picky as they like.
The sketch starts out with an reasonable scenario of a women wanting a specific weight of sweets to buy. The sketch really gets going when another customer comes in and starts pushing the boundaries of what is too much to ask of the shopkeeper.
The customer first requests that he would like a quarter of a pound of liquorice all sorts, which he then later adds he only likes the orange ones, leading to the shopkeeper having to separate the orange from the other coloured sweets.
This scenario grows and grows to be more ridiculous as the customer demands a gob stopper that finishes in the colour pink, a mint with a specific hole size, chocolates that melt in your mouth but not your hand, only soft centred milk chocolates, the length of a liquorice roll and to count out exactly 1100 of Hundreds and Thousands.
This all leads up to the breaking point for the shopkeeper who then pours the tub of Hundreds and Thousands onto the customer’s head. He becomes so wound up, when the next customer comes in with a reasonable request like at the start of the sketch the shopkeeper overacts. In this case instead of cutting up toffee into small pieces he smashes it all with a hammer.
This build up of a mundane scenario growing out of control is a common feature I have noticed in sketches, for example the same system can be seen in The Monty Python’s dead parrot sketch where at first the customer simply complains that the parrot he just bought is dead to then smashing the parrot on the table and screaming in its ear to prove it.
This is something I would like to incorporate in my own sketch however, only having one minute to show the journey from the mundane to the ridiculous will be a challenge without making the sketch seem rushed.

This is the title sequence of the film “Into The Wild”. It is basically like this. A view of someones’s back and he is standing on the ground and all the elements like buildings, trees (the whole world) just rotates to appear and I think I can also use this way of showing the titles to the project I made.
This music video is very powerful in the way that it is edited using graphics and animation to add content variety and style.
Animated drawings are used in the video to compliment the singer Bruno Mars dance. Dance movements are highlighted with white flashes and lines. They help to keep the viewer interested all the way through to the end of the track. These animations all appear in slightly different ways ranging from a fade, to a slide in from the left and also feature graphic drawings related to the lyrics such as The Eiffel Tower.
I would like to include animation in my fashion film to make it more unique and to add personal value to my work. This way it is different from other films in the industry, making it more memorable to viewers.
This campaign caught my attention because of the complexity of the shots included in the film. The slightly muted lighting and understated scenery created moodiness and I felt was a good backdrop to highlight the models, and the collection that was mostly monochrome colours.
There are a vast number of shots ranging from close ups to long shots, medium shots and low angle shots. These all make the film more technically advanced and interesting for the viewer to watch. This is a technique that I am extremely interested in and would like to experiment with myself.
I think that a campaign focused on men can be powerful, especially as so many brands like to focus on female ranges. I think women are still interested in male fashion and will view certain male campaigns as well as the female campaigns. This all helps to increase brand identity.
