Voice Over

Our Final Script for the Voice Over

Joe: What is Love? Does it really exist? Love is said to be an emotion of a strong affection and personal attachment. It’s said to be a virtue representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affection—the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another. I believe everyone has a soul mate somewhere, but not everyone is destined to find theirs.

Lily: I definitely believe in love, it's so magical, something from a fantasy  Every girl wants to fall in love from the moment they watch their first Disney princess on TV  Everyone deserves true love. I once read a Greek myth: Once upon a time, when gods and people existed together, people had four arms and four legs. They had two heads and two faces. They existed happily as they were, and grew more powerful as time went on. The gods decided that the humans were getting too powerful and needed to be put back into place somehow, so they cut the humans in half. Each human now had only two arms, two legs, one head, and one face. They had to spend the rest of their lives searching for their other half to make themselves whole again. It became the point of life.

                         

The Voice Over To Our Opening Sequence

We had the idea to do a voice over for the opening sequence of Lily and Joe talking about love over an acoustic guitar.

 We found a Greek myth from Plato's Symposium which Lily will quote:

“Once upon a time, when gods and people existed together, people had four arms and four legs. They had two heads and two faces. They existed happily as they were, and grew more powerful as time went on. The gods decided that the humans were getting too powerful and needed to be put back into place somehow, so they cut the humans in half. Each human now had only two arms, two legs, one head, and one face. They had to spend the rest of their lives searching for their other half to make themselves whole again. It became the point of life."

  

And we got the definition of love from Wikipedia which Joe will quote then his view on love:

“Love is an emotion of a strong affection and personal attachment. Love is also said to be a virtue representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affection—the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another".

'Dreamcatcher' Analysis

Watch opening sequence here: http://www.artofthetitle.com/title/dreamcatcher/

The 2003 film adaptation of Stephen King's novel was directed by Lawrence Kasdam.

In the opening sequence there is a cold theme depicting that it is in a cold country. The title, DVD cover and woodlands in the title sequence suggest it's set in Northern American.

The opening has a blue colour masks on it giving it a sci-fi feel and connoting death. The shots merge together through close up shots, they almost look as if they are being looked at through a microscope creating the feel of them being analysed. In these shots we see bones, teeth, a dream catcher, icicles, feathers and more, some of which is unidentifiable.

In the last shot at 2.38, a play with light creates an UFO shape in the sky foreshadowing the alien invasion later on in the film. The fast bird's eye view shots at 2.31 panning through the Northern American also helps link in with the UFO, as it feels like a point of view shot from a UFO as we quickly flying over the forests.
