The whole story used body language it is interesting part. Angle shooting are normal.  I love the music in this video because the music was so powerful to convey the mood of film. Soft lighting and music played a really important role in this film.

DIGITAL VIDEO PRODUCTION - TASK 2

STORY

   Box and cloth are good friends, and they buy farmland together, the farmland has a lot of stones. Box suggest remove the stone , but cloth saying: "If these stones can be remove, then the original people remove out already, it will not sold to us. These stones are one seat small hilltop,  connected with mountain, it is impossible to remove was finished. "

  One day, cloth going into town to buy seeds, box labor in the farmland. Box thinking "If i remove these stones that we can plant more vegetables." So box start digging stones. Not for a long time. Box remove these stones away out. Because them do not like the cloth says, is a seat small hilltop, just a  standalone stones. Just dig down one foot, you can dig them up. "

  The reason why people do not do some things, just they are considered to be impossible. Many impossible exists only in the imagination among. It all depends on human effort.

Film Theory:
  I do not want to only tell a story, I want using this story to tell the reader some truth, so I wrote a story has meaning. That difficulties in life, the box means people who can to face difficulties, cloth means people who evade difficulties.

WRITING FOR DESIGNERS - TASK 3

Because i did not see <The Woman in Black> in the class, i heard it is a horror movie and i really afraid to watch that. But i need finish this work so i should watch this and i can write somethings about this movie. 





Natheniel Drabolw (black woman's son) was born 2nd August 1882, but by Alice adoption on 14 August 1882 , that's means , Jennet just giving birth to the child less than two weeks and loses the child. That's very sad.

From the letter says that Alice's doctor said Jennet have mental problems, not suitable for raising children. Maybe Jennet really got mental problems , Alice want to help her sister to take care of their children, or Alice just want her sister children, and collusion with the doctors said Jennet got mental problems, depriving Jennet custody of the child and placed under house arrest. If it is like that, Jennet would hate doctors and village law enforcement.


You could have saved him!
When Arthur went to salvage black woman son's body, he pulled out a wagon. Where is the coachman? Who else is in the wagon? From the letters knows Alice was also in the wagon, but only the child was died, so an increase of Jennet resentment.

I will never forgive!
Even Arthur help find her son's body she would not remove her resentment.


Understanding about outcome: black women feel separation of mother and child is the most painful thing. So she put the child toward the train, Arthur to save him son and died together, but after the death of three people together forever maybe can be regarded as another sense salvation. End of the film black woman's eyes turned to the audience, suggesting that the next one is you.
