Formalism & Realism
Before we started the project, we looked at the difference between formalist and realist programmes and films. I learnt the true meaning of formalist when I looked at examples of it. The example 'Pingu' helped me understand the meaning of it the most. I know that formalism is an unrealistic video that would not happen in real life. The form and dialogue of it is usually abstract. The closest form of realism you can find on T.V is documentary because it is the most factual and truthful thing you can watch.
The Project
The title of our film was 'The Moving man'. The title gave me the idea to have the main character as someone in an unrealistic costume, like in a monster mask. So people brought in masks, wigs and capes for the film. I think the final shots for the film looked very good because the costume fitted well in the scene and the props worked well with the storyline.
What I Learnt
Being in charge of the mise on scene helped me to understand what i would need to consider for my own film and I have a better understanding of how to prepare props for my film. This will come in great use for me when I'm doing me AS project.

Excellent post Olivia.
You have a good reflective style that does more than document what you have done, but also looks forward to your next projects.
We'll be looking more closely at examples of formalism next so you can define it even further.
