Groundhog Day Task

            

These are two recreated shots for the film 'Groundhog Day' in which we were told to do.


The whole idea of both came from behind the intention of wanting to keep the shots rather British (stereotypically) and Hugh Grant like.


The font was chosen simply to represent the 'traditional' handwritten style used back in Hugh Grant's childhood days. I felt that with Hugh Grant being the main character, i could use something particularly in the shots in which could establish who he is or where he is from. To clarify, I would not expect to find the handwritten style in my shots in the era of today.


The images chosen were used completely to contradict beauty that is used within the film. The idea of having clear images were also used as we wanted to have narrative sound simultaneously with the images as there would be nothing to distract the sound. The sound thought of will be very Hugh Grant like whereby thoughts and feelings are made public and not private. This should create an image of complete perfection.


Despite what has been shown to the audience, it was thought that in the next shot, bearing in mind that the genre of this film is comedy,  Hugh Grant could be located in a messy bedroom which would completely contradict the whole image of perfection represented previously.
