Task 1D - chosen films

Maleficent

Maleficent is a 2014 Disney, dark fantasy movie. Angelina Jolie plays the main role in this film. The film is a live action re-making of Walt's Disney 1959 animated film of Sleeping Beauty and it shows us the story from the perspective of Maleficent.I have decided to take photos based on this film in studio. To help me with some ideas, I have watched a film and took some notes, based on the story line as well as the look of characters, their emotions etc. I really liked the style and I have decided to dress my model as Maleficent because it would be very interesting to take photos of Maleficent showing all of her evil as well as happy and sad emotions. 

At the beginning of the movie, Maleficent who is Sleeping Beauty's villain  later on in the movie gets her revenge, is flying around happily and freely across The Moors, her beautiful Kingdom. Later on in the story we can find that one day a young boy from human realm appears, his name is Stefan, he break young Maleficent's heart and returns some years later on royal order to ensure she dies, but all he does if cut her wings of to make sure she suffers and he has an evidence of what he did to her. In return Stefan was able to take the King's crown when he dies, which happens shortly after. Stefan's daughter (Sleeping Beauty) is up to Maleficent's curse. For the next 16 years she watches Aurora, being raised by three good fairies. When times comes for Aurora to pick her finger and the curse to take effect, Maleficent realised what she did wrong, she hurries to the castle where confrontation with the King Stefan happens. It all end happily, where Maleficent becomes close to Aurora. I really like this film because it has a lot of emotions, and a happy ending. 

Miracle on 34th Street

I have picked Miracle on 34th Street because I also wanted to do a Christmas movie, as I get a chance to go to Poland over Christmas. Christmas is much better when you get to spend it with your family, therefore I have decided to pick this film. My photos for this film will be all based on snow and lovely environment with close family. 

This is a really lovely and warmhearted film. The film is about a mother who raises her daughter to aspect reality. therefore she has a problem with using her imagination, for example she doesn't believe in Santa. I would like to use this film to show that Christmas time is something we should all believe in because it's so special when you get to spend it with your family. The message that the movie is giving us is to believe in our fantasy, because without it we can struggle.
