So, Mariana found an interesting slideshare on filming techniques of the Coming-of-Age sub-genre. Although we already made our storyboard, we still looked through it just in case it could help us.
The slideshare mainly emphasized that Coming-of-Age films are 'emotion driven' and the characters emotions are constantly present and remain the film in focus. Since the process of coming-of-Age is a personal, psychological, and moral growth and is achieved my experiencing different emotions, it is our job to make sure that those emotions are the focal point. In order to achieve that, we must make good use of the actor's performance and specific camera angles and movement.
Shots
What really appealed to us about the slideshare was the information on close ups. Knowing that in most films close ups are used to identify important characters and show a persons emotion. It mentioned that they are very important in Coming-of-Age films because the personal growth and change is emphasized through the emotions the person has.
Here are some screenshots of the examples the person gave:
Seeing this slide on the Two-Shot made us think that it could possibly help us in showing Daniela's relationship with her mother. Since they can demonstrate complicated home life relationships.
Editing
It mentioned the use of cutaways and push ins to show emotion and emotional response. There is a a shot at the end where we were planning on using a push in for that same reason.
Tune in tomorrow! Xoxo
