Research and Planning: 'Conversation Piece' {[Charlea]}

Conversation piece 2009---Charlea
1. The hole film was done with non-diagetic sound, there was no real speech from the actors just from the music. You could tell that the characters were an married couple, more then likely been married for many years, they live togther and have a tiff about a crack in one of the vaces.

2. The fact that they managed to add comedy into the piece with the end when the husband glue the piece back on and during when he pushes the women away is clever as it is all done through the use of this one song call the conversation piece. The way that made the song more human and have more life withg the action was inspiaring as it showed how much the music you choose for you piece matters with creating the right mood and effect.

3. It used the short narrative well because if it was any longer the fewed about the varse would become quite tedious to the audience. Also the way they managed to build in the sexual tension and also the make up within the film was extreamly clever as it was only one piece of music that was driving it through. This makes me think that in our film have a repeated tune or music would work well as the aundience would be able to think back and remeber what has happened before when that music came on. The stucture was pretty straight forward it had a beginging when your introduced to the characters, then you had the plot line which was the tiff about the vase, alsothe sexual tension. Then you had the makeing up and the sorrys as well as him fixing the varse and starting the music again as if to say it would be a follow up conversation between the copule. The simple sturture worked well with the piece as the message was simple and it was the music that the audience needed to focus on and how it fitted well with the action not just the acting.

4. The way they made the diagetic sound of the record player was genious as it acted like the people's speech. This kept the piece alive and unique, the whole conversation was told through music.

5. There weren't really any themes and issues in this piece it was built purly to entertain. You had the steriotypical housewife with the apropn in the kitchen doing the washing. While you also had the steriotypical male sitting on the sofa while the woman did the housework. It was an old fashioned marrige but you could tell it work for both characters involded. The Camera at times did show us a bit more of the womens frustation with the man when she becomes alot more loving and he just pushes her away. Other then that the camera works is even between bpth characters.
