Watching movie = having class ???
YES! We are having class outside the classroom.
Sounds fun right ?
Actually there is a purpose for us to do that.
Our lecturer ask us to find a place to watch movie so that we can do our project.
The project that we going to do is creating a comic only using silhouette.
Everyone decided to watch movie at Subang Parade, arrive there at 3pm.
Right after our social psychology.
So I rush there. When I arrive, no one was over there.
So I decided to buy the ticket first. I pick FrankenWeenie to watch.
It suits the project well. I thought might be a few watching the movie.
Sadly, I watch alone in the end.
FrankenWeenie
FrankenWeenie is directed by Tim Burton. Before I watch this movie, I thought it was going to be a very boring movie because it is in black and white. After watching this movie, I was impressed!! When I start blogging, I did some research about this movie. This movie was made using stop motion. I was so shocked because it seems to be so natural and digitalize.
Synopsis about this movie...
It is about a young boy named Victor, he loves his pet , Sparky a lot. Almost everyday Victor spends time with Sparky. One day, Sparky got into a car accident because Sparky chased the baseball which was hit out of the court by Victor . Sparky pass away. Victor was so sad. He hope that he could bring Sparky back to life. One day, his new science teacher taught the class about electric impulse. The teacher did an experiment about the electricity that was being applied to the dead frog and the frog react towards the electricity. Victor immediately had an idea to bring his pet alive. He conducted an experiment using the power of lightning. His experiment succeed but he could not tell anyone about it. If someone knew about it, they might misuse the experiment the experiment do not have confirmation yet. One day, his classmate, Edgar found out about this experiment. He threatened Victor to tell him the secret, he had no choice but to tell him. Unexpectedly, Edgar told this to most of his classmates. In the end, something bad happen. The classmates took their died pets back to alive, but the pets turned into zombies. The classmate got frighten and asked Victor for help. Victor tried his best to help them. The problem solved in the end, but he thought Sparky was going to die again because Sparky was caught in a fire to fight with one of the monsters. In the end, Sparky came back alive. Everyone was glad about that.
So basically that's the synopsis.
There is a lot of interesting part in this movie.
Character Design:
Look at those characters, they basically have the same characteristic, long and skinny arms and legs. Their iris are just a dot. To bring the characteristic out of the character, they enhance certain part of them, like their eyes, nose, hair, tummy, teeth and finger. By just enhancing certain part of the character, you already able to guess their characteristic. Amazing right?
Pets Design:
Lets move on to the pets design. Almost the same that happen on the pets. their legs are extremely tiny, it doesn't seems to be able to support their body. Except the poodle are a little different. To differentiate the animal type. Just look at the fur and skin surface.
Monster Design:
huhuhu~ now is the transformation to evilness of the animal. Feels a bit like Ultraman monster.
I like how the vampire can being combine with the bat. Most of the pets transform larger and evil with sharp teeth.
Shadow:
Showing the shadow place an important role of making us think differently from what we expect.
Or we are able to predict what is going to happen.
The shadow some how makes us think negatively.
Although the shadow are form flat onto a surface, I still can predict the distance between the object.
The grey tones:
The grey tones are so amazing. When I'm watching it. I can feel like I am watching it with colour. It somehow trick my eyes. It makes me guess too.
Space use:
The space that are being used are just something that we can imagine in our daily basis.
The experiment did by Victor, he uses a lot of D.I.Y concept in it.
That's about it for FrankenWeenie.
So after the FrankenWeenie movie ends, I rush to Summit and watch Silent Hills Revelation with my boyfriend. He ask me to watch this with him. I was fine, since I am doing it for the purpose of study with better understanding to do my next assignment. I did not watch the other part of the Silent Hills before, but luckily the movie is not that confusing. What I heard from some other classmate, they said that silent hills is actually a game. At first when I saw the trailer at the Subang Parade cinema, I thought is an adventure movie. After I watch.... WAHHHHHHHHHH~ horror movie. Is not to said scary, but it shocked me !!!
