Study Proposal
|
Name: Wang Zhuo
Course: Film Practice
Date: 7th/NOV/2012
What is your subject of study?
Visual storytelling for comedy.
What is your research question?
Something like “what are the most effective ways to shoot for comic effect”.
Research aim(s):
What are the overall aims of the project?
Trying to research what kind of camera work is most effective to make the comic effects more markedly
Research objectives(s):
What are the specific tangible project objectives?
Note: these are separate to what you personally need to learn in terms of skills and knowledge, see learning objectives below.
This topic’s focus is on shooting, so that I need understand a variety of camera works. And meanwhile, I need analyse some films which can produce comic effects and research their camera works when comic effects happened.
What will you be producing do you think? Other than this understanding? A report/ a list of the best shots for the type of comedy.
Rationale
· What is the wider context of your project?
The generation of comic effects cannot leave I don't understand this? the wonderful script, action of actors, lighting, editing, sound effect and rhythm, while a better camera shooting also can help the film to produce comic effects because shooting play an important role on visual effect. A good shooting method can effectively illustrate the film’s style and rhythm. Furthermore, shooting can more effectively produce comic effects with editing, action of actors and lighting.
I learned drama before, so I was interested in how to create comic effects by different methods.
· How does it relate to relevant current practices, debates and theory?
· There is a phenomenon in recent years, some camera shooting methods cannot greatly perform the film’s comic effects, although the script is interesting, the visual effect of films is not interesting due to camera work that is not quite effective. Where is the evidence of this?
·
·
· The film is more difficult to produce comic effects than the drama because the drama can able to communicate with audiences directly, while the comic effect of film need to record and then show audiences, so that the shooting become an important role to create comic effects in the film.. I think you need to do more in this area. Find some discussion about how difficult it is to make comedy
·
· How does this project relate to your plans for the future?
· I want to make comedy film in the future.

The film: <crazy stone>; <getting home>; <set off>
What else. Where is the reading that is going to help this project? Although you are discussing shooting you should also look at editing. We also need some books on the different types of comedy. Comedy isn’t one thing, as there are lost of types of drama there are lots of types of comedy, so you need to see if there is any discussion about the different types of comedy films.
There is nothing about international business here. I thought this was about Chinese cinema.
Timetable
Outline a draft plan of action for the PGC stage.
As for the first face, on the one hand, I will look at internet and read some books about the visual effect of film in order to find out more effectively camera works. On the other hand, I will analyse some films to find out what kind of camera shooting methods can create comic effects.
Dates. We need dates. Week by week what will you be doing?
Discuss the form with your supervisor and submit to dropbox on NOW by the end of academic week 15 (11/11/2012).
