Ideas again shoot 1
When editing I thought about how I could edit and how I could get this idea of obsession across. I thought that as the films goes on I could speed up the filming and have a montage at the end to get across the idea of having this obsession and being obsessed. I also feel that this will engage the viewer.
Another idea that I thought about was having the looking up at the person and getting the prospect from the phone, giving close ups.

Shoot one Evaluation
Evaluation for shoot 1
Overall I'm happy with how my first shoot went, I feel that I got some good shots and felt that my idea worked well. However I will need to film again and go to different locations, to get across the idea of obsession, as I have found that I need to film more and I need to get more locations to get across the idea of this obsession.

First Edit-
obession with technology from Jessica Barratt on Vimeo.
Editing
At the start of the editing I had establishing shots then a mid shot or close up. Having looked back this looked disjointed, so I changed it to have an establishing shot with a mid shot or close up then going back to the establishing shot. This worked a lot better together and meant the idea of obsession what more obvious, and linked well back to the
Here I labelled all my clips, so that I is easy to see which clips are which, making it easier to edit.
This is one of my favourite shots from the shot, I like how Ellie is out of focus and the back ground in focus. Which is showing the family, playing with the snow. I like this shot because I feel like its showing how isolated Ellie is and how she is being isolated from the world by being on the phone. Which is showing her obsession and showing how she doesn't know what is doing on around her. I like how Ellie doesn't look up from her phone showing that her attention is always on the phone.
Having looked at my footage, I realised that I hadn't filmed as much as I first thought, this is due to the planning and I needed to have more planned a lot more. This means that I will have to film more, I am hoping to use the same person and go around town to get these shots. I wanted to go to busier places which are more popular, as in this shot I went to open spaces.
Editing the footage again
Having edited I have thought about other ways that I could edit and other ways that I could add and incorporate into the short film. I wanted to try this with the footage that I have, and try it out. I want to speed up the editing as it goes on, as I really want to get this idea across of obsession, I also feel that this would keep the viewer interested. I like the idea of repeating the same clips at the end to get the point across, I feel that this would work well.

Ideas about sound
Sound for my video
Recording sound- I had also thought about recording sound whilst I was filming, I would record the sounds around the person. However I don't think that it fit as well as it would with the music. I feel that it would work, but it would just be sound and I feel that I will need something else. I will try the sound and see how it will look in post production. I could cut between both the natural sound and the music and see if that works together.
Silence film - I have also thought about having a silence film and just having the moving image
Voiceover- My first thought was to do an voiceover and talk about the obsession. I would be able to explain the obsession and talk about how I and other people think about obsession. However I don't feel that this will work that well with the footage that I want to film. I feel that it wouldn't fit and would make the film a bit disjointed.
Music- I feel that adding music would work well and It will give something else to my short film. Also I don't feel that it will distract you from the everything else that is happening. I want to have something that it simple and something that isn't to dramatic, giving it a fault climax. I want something with only a few beats and something soft that I can play in the background. I feel that having a few beats will work well because of the ides of obsession bien normal and a lot of people having this obsession. I feel that this will work well with the idea and will fit in nicely.
I don't think that I want anything with lyrics, this is because it won't fit unless they are talking about obsessions. Having searched for music about obsessions, I found that the songs about other obsessions and I don't feel that they would fit.
Ideas of what music to use; Shawn Mendes- Handwritten
I put a spell on you - Alice Smith
Having looked again and looked for songs with some lyrics but mainly instrumental I have found a cover of I put a spell on you by Alice Smith. I think that this works well with the footage that I have taken.

Update shooting plan
Shooting Plan 2
Before filming I look at my shooting plan, I have since found my idea progress.
What? I will be filming the obsession of technology and how we have become reliant on it. I want to film in a different location but using the same person and having hem in a simple position. I feel that using the same person will show the obsession and will fit together nicely.
I want to film in a car and someone using their phone whilst driving (I will be film while the drive is stationary). I want to show this as I feel that this is still a big problem and even when something is illegal, people are still desired to be on their phone.
I also hope to film at work and show people working whilst on their phone. Whilst at work, people are always desired to be on their phone and obsessed with having their phone on they to check when its quite. I hope to be able to film the workers on their phone whilst trying to do other jobs. I hope to use the 50mm lens for this, this will be so I can get a low aperture. I feel that using a low aperture will work well with the idea and show the idea of isolation and how being on your phone is isolating you from other things.
When? I will be filming this at the weekend, this will give me time to film and re-film clips that might not work well together. I hope to get all my filming done this weekend, giving me time to edited and if I feel that something isn't working I will have time to re-film.
How? I will be using my 5D to films this and I will be using 2 different lens. The first lens that I will use is the 70mm - 300mm lens for when I'm filming outside and filming in the streets. For when I'm inside I hope to use the 50mm lens. I feel that the 50mm lens will be good to use and I will be able to use the low aperture. I feel that using the low aperture will work well when shooting at night and having low contrast lighting.
Where? I will be doing this in different places, to get across the point of being obsessed. I hope to film in a work place, in a car, in town and in someone house. I how to go to Coombe Abbey and film, as there are shops, restaurants, fields, parks and woods. I feel that this will give me a good variety of what I can film and i
Why? When looking at the Lacan theory and thinking about obsession, my first thought was the obsession of with technology and how everyone is obsessed with there phones. I wanted to explore this idea as I feel that people are becoming more reliant on their phones as day go pass.

Ideas
Other Ideas
Idea from Music Video
Having looked at the music video below, I like the idea of using the same people but in different locations. Whilst keeping them in the same position, or similar oppositions. Using mid shots, long shots and close ups. To get them in a similar position I could use the grid on the camera and have them framed in the middle, I feel that this will balance the shots and visual look pleasing. For this idea to work, I need to have a narrative this is so the video isn't visual boring and looks the same. I will also need to look at how, I can add other things into the video.
Having looked at this, I have thought of ideas of where I could shot. I have thought of different places such as; open field, shop, restaurant, park, car, woods, Library, at work, train station, woods and crossing a road. I feel that these will work together, I would have to have them on screen for about 10 to 15 seconds each. I will have to find a way to make sure that this is boring and it not the same, this might be having something in the background happening and the person not paying attention around.
When filming I'm going to look at having filming each piece twice, filming with a high depth of field and then a low depth of field. I feel that when I'm editing this will give the option of both and I will be able to decision which one is best. The shallow depth of field will work well with the idea of isolation and they using the phone is isolating them from the others. A high depth of field will work well with things happening in the background and its showing the audience want is happening and what the person is missing out on whilst being on their phone.
At the end I want the phone to die or to have only a few precent left and the person trying to use their phone quickly and being distressed at the thought of not having their phone. I feel that this will show there obsession.
Requiem for a dream
I want to be able to do closes up of the person, as I feel that this will work well to show the obsession. Also I feel that it would the closes up would make the audience feel uncomfortable and show this idea of obsession. I like how simple the close ups are, and I feel that they are effective and are
Below is a short clip from the film Requiem for a dream, showing drug use. I feel that this is good idea to show the obsession. I would get close ups of the phone, there eyes, fingers when typing and there facial expression.
I'm going to film these clips and see how they look and work with the other things that I will film. I will see in post production if they work well or if they don't work at all. I'm hoping that it will work well with my other clips and if will give something different to my short film.

Shooting Plan- Obsession with technology.

What? I will be filming the obsession of technology and how we have become reliant on it. I hope to be able to film in different locations and use different people. I what to use both high and low contrast light and see how they work together in the post production stage.

I will also be filming on the street and shooting candid work. I feel that a lot people are on their phones whilst in the street and I will be able to catch this.
When? I will be doing this during the week and weekend, this will give me time to film and re-film clips that might not work well together. I hope to get all my filming done by this weekend, giving me time to edited and if I feel that something isn't working I will have time to re-film.

Grizzly Man
Grizzly Man - (2005)
The Grizzly Man is about Timothy Treadwell and Amie Huguenard who lived with wild grizzly bears in Alaskan. The film is a documentary which is pieced together with actual video footage that Treadwell filmed, there was overall 100 hours of footage. Every summer Treadwell would go to Alaska and camp with the bears, he would take his video camera with him. The film was directed by a German director called Werner Herzog.
Having looked at the Grizzly Man and Lacan theory's, I have found that the two linked together and Treadwell lack of human connection and desire meant he turned to the wild.
Before going to Alaskan Treadwell desire to be to be an actor, he went to audition for Cheers however he didn't get the part, and this meant he started taking drink and drugs. This fulfiled his lack of not being coming an actor, until he became clean and sober then his lack changed to something else. When Treadwell become clean and sober he has a new passion of the grizzly bears in Alaska. This would fulfil his lack.
Within the film Treadwell's 'lack' is clear and is shown to outcast and loner, and finds company in wild animals and nature. Within the film it is clear that Treadwell is using his lack of human connections by finding company with the bears. Treadwell does talk about relationships with other human and talks about why it never worked.

Design Brief
Design Brief
I have choose to do a 5 minute short film about obsession, particular looking at obsession with technology and social media and how someone can't leave their technology/ phones alone. When looking at the Lacan theory and looking at films that looked at obsession, my first thought was phones and the breakdown of communication and how everything is done through technology, whether it's an phone, tablet or laptop. I want to go a documentary, which is filming groups of people and individuals using technology and how they always have to be on their phones. When out, I always find people more interested in their phones then the people that they are with and how they have this need of being on their phone and nothing else matters.
I want to show the obsession with technology through different clips and showing different and same groups of people always having to use technology. I want to use both high and low key lighting and try get the main lighting from the phone or piece of technology that they might be using. I feel that this work well and will visual look good. I want to get different shots in different locations, for example at work, in the car, at house, in town. I want to use normal situations, to show the obsession and who the obsession is becoming normally.
I want to use a mix between high and low key lighting, I feel that this will work well together. I think that I want to show how its used throughout the day and start with high key lighting and moving to low key lighting. Showing that is happen all the time, through to morning and night. I want to have more shots on low key lighting because I feel that visually, its more appealing and will stand out a lot more.
Camera shot and types- I will using different camera shots and types. I will be using close up of the technology, a long with long shots and mid shots. I will then be able to edit it in the post production stage and this will give we a wide variety of shots that I can use. I hope to use pans, maybe panning in two different locations and it the post-prodction stage editing them together.

Freud
Freud - Psychoanalytical approaches
(Psychoanalytical culture theory and popular culture, John Storey)
Id: Id is only concerned with fulfilling pleasure and desire. This is always referred to as the irrational and emotional paper of the mind. Id is also regarded as being selfish and is only concerned with its own self-satisfaction. Babies and young children are often used as examples because they're usually driven by pleasure. A key part of Id is want.

Id is also regarded as being selfish and is only concerned with its own self-satisfaction. Babies and young children are often used as examples because they're usually driven by pleasure. A key part of Id is want.
Ego: Ego is based on reality principle and the ego is capable of understanding that one's own desires may vary from people around (reality), and is willing to make this consideration. This ego tries to meet the basic needs of the Id but also takes into account the real world. A key part of ego is balance.
Superego: Based on moral principles instilled by rearing and moral /ethical restaurants placed upon by caregivers. The superego encompasses an individual's ideals, goals, and conscience as well as society's The superego concerned with what other;s will think and stands in position to the Id. the superego acts to perfect and civilise our behaviour. A key part of superego is morals and compromise.
I am going to apply Freud's theory to The lord of the Rings. I am going to be analysing a clip that is showing id, ego and superego.

Lacan theory
Jacques Lacan theory
Lacan's theory is that we are born into a condition of 'lack' and this means we spend the rest of our lives trying to overcome it. Lacan thinks that what you desire or 'lack' is forever out of reach and it you fulfil that lack, its never enough and you desire to get reach for something else. Lacan argues that there are three stages of this theory. This first being the 'Mirror stage', the second 'fort-da' game and the third is 'Oedipus complex'. Symbolic....
The Mirror stage is the first part of the three stages within Lacan theory's, this is where the infant looks in the mirror. Lacan say that we are all born prematurely and it takes time to be able to movement and to be able to control our movements. The infant will form an identification with the image in the mirror. Lacan saying that this is showing the control and coordination that the infant doesn't have yet and so it showing themselves as they are now and what they are going to become. This is linking back to Lacan theory of lack as will will look at ourselves to see what we desire and what we lack and we will try to get achieve it but it isn't achievable.
The second stage is 'fort-da' game. This was originally named by Freud and was about a child coming to team with its mother's absence. Lacan saw this and thinks it as a representation of the child beginning to enter the Symbolic and particular a child being introduce to language. giving the child the meaning between meaning and being.

Lacan thinks that what you desire or 'lack' is forever out of reach and it you fulfil that lack, its never enough and you desire to get reach for something else. Lacan argues that there are three stages of this theory. This first being the 'Mirror stage', the second 'fort-da' game and the third is 'Oedipus complex'. Symbolic....
The Mirror stage is the first part of the three stages within Lacan theory's, this is where the infant looks in the mirror. Lacan say that we are all born prematurely and it takes time to be able to movement and to be able to control our movements. The infant will form an identification with the image in the mirror. Lacan saying that this is showing the control and coordination that the infant doesn't have yet and so it showing themselves as they are now and what they are going to become. This is linking back to Lacan theory of lack as will will look at ourselves to see what we desire and what we lack and we will try to get achieve it but it isn't achievable.
The second stage is 'fort-da' game. This was originally named by Freud and was about a child coming to team with its mother's absence. Lacan saw this and thinks it as a representation of the child beginning to enter the Symbolic and particular a child being introduce to language. giving the child the meaning between meaning and being.
