film research- actors opinions

This video that i found of Paddy Considine is very interesting because it helps me to get a feel for how the film was created.  He expresses his feelings towards the film and how the relationship with him and the director has built to what it is.  it is clear to see by watching the film that the relationship that these two share is expressed in the film as dead mans shoes is a very free flowing film that is also a very different and against the norm production.  As stated in the video you can here the voice of the director is coming through the film and is expressed in the film this adds also a very personal film to the film.  in my opinion i think that is the most important thing about independent films as due to the extremely low budget they has to have some sort of unique selling point to an audience and a personal messag seems to be the most important.  furthermore i believe that i hollywood blockbusters you very rarely see the same extent of personal messages coming across from the films. hollywood films only filled with explosions and made up mythical creatures isn't much of a good message to me, don't you think?

Paddy also talks about how they personal experience in the environment they lived and how that affected the way that the created the film; for example the mise en scene and the settings of the would have a great effect on the way the film is portrayed to the audience.  By the way that they pay great attention to detail not only in the way that the actor acts but also in the surrounds.  this can be seen in the run down environment that the film is set in and it connotes that the mental state of the main character is very dark and maybe stressed out and worried about the past coming back to haunt him.  although he is out of the battle ground his brother in the film is stuck in one and the dark skies turn to a storm as he snaps and changes his mental state in to danger!

to extend on that this clip is very helpful in regards to how the film should be made with passion and with a message that can be subconsciously seen throughout.  starting with the dark and dreary surroundings Paddy Considine has created the feels ethos from the first shot and that is very similar to how i would like to present mine to the audience.

in conclusion to this; as said in previous post about the opening sequences, they are, in my opinion the first minuet or even first shot of the films are used to capture not only the audiences attention but also their imagination as they are picturing what the rest of the film is going to be like.  weather is may be a bright and cheery film like 'Stepbrothers' or a dark and disturbed film such as 'Dead man's shoe's" this is the main purpose of a opening sequence.
