The persecution
During our stay as students in the film school we performed several film exercises,
one of these is "The persecution", which consists of filming two subjects one
chasing the other after refusing to be arrested.
The first thing we do is adapt the script, that is, rewrite a script with the ideas we
have, in order to make the work much more motivating. I decided to adapt the story
to a fake gun seller and a unsuspecting buyer who falls into his trap. Once the
script writing process is finished, we proceed to make a technical script, which
consists of defining camera positions and angles. After this, the next step is to
make a storyboard, which consists of drawing the shots as we expect it to be seen
on the camera, then we shoot and then edit.
My little school short film was solved in fifteen shots, of which three were inserts,
one was extreme close-up, four full shot and seven medium shot. Originally I
planned to have seven planes sequences in which I could move from general plans
to detailed plans, in order to experiment with the possibility of narrating as if it were
a false documentary, however I received a refusal from my teachers and I had to
Rephrase my proposal.
Making this film is something quite fun, because despite not being a work of
personal expression, it allows you to make mistakes that with other exercises it
would not be possible to identify so accurately and mistakes are essential to learn.
In the film I used practically few angles that were out of the ordinary, a couple of
low angles, although I must admit that it would have been quite enriching to risk
using duch angles, in order to give a more chaotic sense to the persecution.
Virtually the entire short film was filmed with angular lenses, in order to moderately
perceive the movement, since mostly camera in hand was used, in addition to this
type of lens altering the space dimension as I was looking for it.
Finally, in the edition, I want to give it more dynamism, having precise cuts so that
the camera movement and characters will help increase the dramatic and narrative
rhythm I was looking for. On the other hand, the edition of the title and credits was
what I enjoyed the most. The editor understood very well what the spirit of the work
was, so he printed a series of neon letters with Japanese idiograms to give a
characteristic aesthetic of what he looks for in the short film
Lo primero que hacemos es adaptar el guion, es decir reescribir un guion con las
ideas que tengamos, con el fin de que el trabajo resulte mucho más motivante. Yo
decidí adaptar la historia a un vendedor de armas falsas y un comprador incauto
que cae en su trampa. Una vez terminado el proceso de escritura de guion,
procedemos a hacer un guion técnico, el cual consiste en definir posiciones y
ángulos de cámara. Después de esto, el siguiente paso es realizar un storyboard,
el cual consiste en dibujar los tiros como esperamos que se vea en el Viewfinder de
la cámara, posteriormente filmamos y después editamos.
Para obtener una propuesta aprobada final es necesario hacer plantillas, es decir
un dibujo de todos los sitios donde se colocará la cámara, esto con el fin de
visualizar previamente si no existen saltos de eje o problemas narrativos al colocar
la cámara en determinado sitio, la cual resulta útil, pues permite visualizar la
película al igual que el guion técnico o el stroryboard.
Realizar esta película es algo bastante divertido, pues a pesar de no ser un trabajo
de expresión personal, permite cometer errores que con otros ejercicios no sería
posible identificar de manera tan precisa y los errores son fundamentales para
aprender.
El rodaje se llevó a cabo en un solo día, todos los tiros de realizaron en exterior y
con un gran trabajo del equipo de fotografía se logró continuidad lumínica en
estos, algo que personalmente como directo me da mucho orgullo por mis
compañeros, ya que pudimos trabajar de manera eficiente a pesar de que algunos
tiros eran complicados.
