'The Secret World of Arrietty' (2010) - I find this shot from the film beautiful, it captures a life among nature. The use of common flowers and plans as decor and furniture has an inside outside feel, the frame is filled with a warm yellow green tone that has a whimsical and charming feeling. The appreciation for nature in this film and this frame is what I want to capture in my image, for a moment I want the viewer to be lost in the depths of nature then see the phone box, as nature is at the for for front of my work.
'Swiss Army Man' (2016) - In this still the characters have made a small town like structure out of urban rubbish and nature. The film looks at how human wast can be useful and powerful and displays the disruptive nature of human, leaving their old to wast in natural landscaped. When these characters find a safe home in the woods they are able to use the junk and nature to live a life of happiness. The shot itself has a beautiful use of lightning, with the soft yellow light coming from behind them, this elevates the frame and gives a warmth to the otherwise cold tones around the characters.
'The Secret Garden' (1993) - This shot shows the children in the film playing in the garden. The shot uses the wildness of nature in a whimsical way, there is a playful, nostalgic tone that is displayed throughout the film. As a child I was fascinated by this film, the ruin's in the wild secret garden were amazing to me, I wanted to find a place like that, where nature was in control and overgrown. I want to show this power of nature in my work.
From looking at these film shots I have become more aware of the tone I want to show, I want to have a whimsical feeling for the nature part of my shots but also show a power to nature in the way it can take over and grow wild. I also want my images to be cinematic and tell a tale of the strength in nature and how it can take what it wants.
