What if missing socks were really just hiding in your house having a rave behind the washing machine. 

What if the tomatoes in your fridge were actually really rude to the cucumber 

What if your duvet had issues with touching people so you just assault it every night 

What if the the missing socks weren't missing at all. But dancing in the middle of the wall. Your missing sock, where could it be? Behind the washing machine it may be. You creep your head through the door. And hear the rumbling of the bass straight through your core. Right in front of, before your eyes. Your missing socks what a surprise. Flapping about, doing a Mexican wave. Your missing socks where having a rave. 

MISSING SOCKS

The real question is... what happens to those missing socks, you remember putting every singe one with their pair into the washing machine. 2 hours and 49 minutes has passed, its time to remove them and put it in the dryer. 3 SOCKS ARE MISSING. How is this possible? What abominable science has lead to the disappearance of my favourite socks! My pink ankle sock, my knee high striped sock, and my frilly white sock. 

I look inside the washing machine, a silver cave going into the far distance. 


SYNOPSIS

The narrative follows a personal story to me, struggling with gender identity and dysphoria is certainly a struggle; I want to portray this discomfort in my short film. The narrative follows a boy that wants to be a girl, every time he looks in the mirror it reflects a girl (doesn't have to be similar looking). The narrative follows the routine of the character but the role switching between the girl and the boy regularly in order to express the duality occurring within him. There are ups and downs in the narrative, fun moments and traumatic moments. The final scene is the boy looking in the mirror once more, seeing the girl he thinks he is, she smiles, reflecting that he has come to terms with the situation and will begin to resolve it. 


The narrative follows a boy struggling with gender identity in London. 

In he mirror he is a girl.

Narrative follows day routine and the his role reversing from boy to girl regularly to express the duplicity within him. 

Fun moments and traumatic moments, contrapuntal music. 

Ends with boy looking in mirror, the girl he sees smiles at him, resolution.

AMY - Final essay

- Filmmaking can certainly be shaped by the filmmaker's approach. Regarding this genre of film, two main contrasts of documentary would be the well utilised approaches of observational and participatory. Observational technique being moulded by Kim Longinotto's classic form of "fly on the wall" - both the director and audience being voyeurs upon a story, reaching our own conclusion. Participatory filmmaking reflects the physical involvement of a director within the documentary, perhaps being a more "flawless" presentation of a narrative, shaped in a desired way for the audience. This theory stemming from Nick Broomfield's active participation in his own documentaries, constantly shifting perspectives with his own involvement. In the case of this essay, I will be discussing how Kapadia shaped the documentary "Amy" through the approaches he considered, majority being observational, though the end product may influence a certain suggestion of the ...

AMY EXAM QUESTION PREP

SEQUENCE 3 - Younger Amy - after parents divorce Demonstrates Longinotto’s ideas as the clip is compiled of home videos of Amy Winehouse as well as narration about her childhood from Amy Winehouse herself. Home videos really meets Longinotto’s theory as the director doesn’t have any interjection in the video at all as they’re filmed previously. They let you see the raw personality of Amy Winehouse as a child without others giving their opinions on what they thought she was like. By using Amy Winehouse her self for the voice over, you get the truth about what she was like rather than hearing how other people perceived her. This completely links with Longinotto’s ideology as you’re getting the story straight from the main subject. Longinotto's approach would be to unravel the narrative by giving "space" to the parents' point of view - which is what Kapadia does by keeping the footage  However, Kapadia was not conducting the interview used as the voiceover so who’s to sa...
