In this topic we explored and replicated an auteur of our choce. I chose to look at alfred hitchcock as i wanted to repicate the styling of his films. I chose to do him as his style appealed most to me out of all the available options

This is the pre production paperwork from the production of our short film which we had chosen to title Bifurcate. We chose to title the production Bifurcate as the film we wanted to create would have multiple alternative endings to it. And as bifurcate means a split in a path the name was selected. Below a Bts picture can be seen.
The deconstructions we had to do analysing and breaking down the auteur style that we were trying to replicate. Pictured to the left is a bts freeze frame from an outtake of the Bifurcate shoot. And below the picture of myself, Oscar can be seen recording wild track.
The script that was written for the Short film, during the production a few aspects of the script were changed to better fit within the logistical restrictions we had. For instance we were originally planning to shoot the opening sequence inside a vintage train carriage, but changed the location to a station to still incorporate the thematic aspect of trains whilst getting around the logistical issues like cost and available booking slots. While the changes were small and didnt much affect the narrative, i feel that they all helped to create a stronger final product for the film itself.
I made this poster for the project, it was inspired by the psycho poster.
This is my version of the bifurcate cut, the video end card contains the multiple endings that can be chosen from. Overall the project was fun to do and i believe turned out pretty good all things considered.
This is Donovan's version of the Bifurcate cut, they were the director and we used their cut as the version for feedback and grading.
This is the unit 9 evaluation document, it includes the recorded audience feedback on it. Below a complimation of bts images.
For this project we have to create an opening sequence for a tv show that fits within the genre conventions of the genre that we have chosen to do.
My Sci-fi ideaÂ
My rom-com idea
My cosmic horror idea
I plan to make a sci-fi title sequence and two minute scene, the idea is called unification as its core plot device will be someone making a jump between two universes, an alpha and delta one. It will use a color scheme with lots of strong blues and an industrial aesthetic. I plan to incorporate the lights used to light the set into the actual set dressing itself as i think the wires, cables, and beams of solid light will work with my chosen asthethic.

This is the 30 second title sequence version
This is the one minute version of the title sequence
This is the two minute scene that is a sample of what the show would be like, i envisioned it being the opening to the first episode.
