Manic Pixie Dream Girl - “That bubbly, shallow cinematic creature that exists soley in the fevered imaginations of sensitive writer-directors to teach broodingly soulful young men to embrace life and its infinite mysteries and adventures.”
You (2018) is one of the best new shows I’ve seen in a while. Great writing, great cinematography, great acting, and super fun to watch. 11/10
I just [watched??] Black Mirror: Bandersnatch (2018). Being a long-time lover of “pick-a-path” type stories and a visual person, I was very excited about the idea of a “pick-a-path” film.
**POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD**
The whole [film??] is very meta, I particularly liked this LSD conspiracy scene (I also enjoyed trying to explain the concept of Netflix to Stefan). The parallels between Stefan’s experience and the viewer’s were clever. Some choices make no difference, but that’s a part of the point. Oh, and I LOVED the cinematography and overall aesthetic of the film.
I really hope to see more story telling in this format—I’d be excited to see what other stories could be pulled off in this medium.
Bad Santa (2003) dir. Terry Zwigoff
Jareth's Labyrinth is a totalitarian state. Here's why.
A totalitarian government is a government in which a single party (or person) is in control of everything from the military to the economy to all means of communication. A totalitarian leader controls their people through the use of terror.
And if you squint, it’s what’s happening in the labyrinth.
Let’s first look at what we observe from how the labyrinth’s denizens act.
They’re terrified of their king and the many creative ways he can punish them. They seem to be used to being ordered about, hit, kicked, or tossed, or having threats lobbed at them several times an hour. While the goblins seem to take it in stride, they are also relatively quick to obey orders. The “well, laugh?” scene comes to mind.
Hoggle, especially, is terrified of his King, outright stating so a few times within the film and cowering whenever he appears. Disobeying Jareth’s orders has (almost) disastrous effects for Hoggle and it’s shown that Jareth’s threats towards him aren’t empty.
And Jareth himself seems comfortable giving orders. In fact, it’s all he does all through the film! He barks demands at his goblins, commands his army, and even tries to get Sarah to cede to his will in the twelfth hour. There’s no doubt that he is very comfortable with his crown, and Sarah seems to be the first person to tell him no.
That was not good for his image.
And speaking of his image: it’s everywhere! It’s a pretty well known “secret” at this point that the film crew his Bowie’s face on a lot of the sets. Why did they do this? The Doylist perspective is that, well, it’s David Bowie and this is an 80s film. Of course his face is going to be plastered everywhere someone can get away with it.
The intradiegetic or Watsonian reading of all these faces is a little…darker.
Totalitarian heads of state are known (aside from violence) for also sticking their face wherever they can put it. It’s propaganda, and one of the oldest examples.
Jareth’s ever-present visage is a reminder to his citizens that he is watching, and he is aware of what they’re doing. Always.
On the other hand, the faces might not be there all the time. They might only show up when Sarah is being spied on, as a subtle visual reminder that Sarah is meant to also be completely within Jareth’s view and control at all times.
did jarth change his eyeliner color for the imaginary party
There is a whole theory that it isn’t him, in the party. It’s a fake (it’s why he’s so wooden and perfect) and that creepy guy in the mask that’s always staring at Sarah is the real Jareth. That guy is the first man we see in the scene and he’s giving order to the other goblins, and he’s one of the last goblins we see after Sarah smashes the place up (once she destroys the illusion that Jareth disappears).
(I love this theory)
Here is the original post about it and my over long addition, if anyone wants to delve down this rabbit hole
I have become fixated on this theory and I’d like to add that just before sequined-Jareth starts dancing with Sarah? Those two women he’
Writing Characters without Character Arcs
The Good Place (Season 1) - Bloopers
Writing Strong Characters - The Important Distinction Between Want and Need
After Rocket Man (the Elton John movie) they should make one about David Bowie so we can have the holy trinity of queer rock gods in film and also just to see Bowie’s life and career because it was intense and crazy and spectacular and deserves the limelight
Can’t afford a camera? Like to shoot only on iPhone, but don’t know what apps could help you?
Here are all of my FREE apps in the filming section of my phone!
(From left to right, row by row) The camera app - most important and obvious but if I didn’t mention it I’d be crazy. This is where it all starts, take the picture, and it’s on its way to editing - Werdsmith - this is a great writing app that I keep to help organize my regular notes from my filming notes. It splits the process into two steps, the idea phase and the full writing phase. Great to help keep you on track because you can set alarms for yourself! - TV - I honestly haven’t used this since I got my phone, but I like to keep an organized space so I put it in this section of my phone - IMovie - this is your best friend if you’re editing film on solely your phone!! If you have an I phone it comes free with the purchase of the phone and all other apple products for that matter. If you don’t know about this app, it’s an adoring software that in my opinion works best on a laptop but will suffice on the app aswell. It’s very easy to work with, and learn from and is a big plus to have on mobile - Tadaa - this is a photo editing app that offers features like being able to highlight specific layers and filter them individually. It’s definitely helped me add some spark to some of my photos! - Magic hour - an app that tells you the perfect time to take a picture! - Unblock - Unblock gives you promos and questions to help get you out of that writers block slump! It’s helped me through some bare patches - Splice - an app similar to IMovie, so if you don’t like the layout or maybe want to try something new or keep projects separate - Celtx Script - Ladies, Gentleman, and others this is a wonderful app. I write most of my scripts on here. It formats, and explains each separate action you can use. I find it so much easier to be able to type as I would text then to be sitting at a computer. But if you’re more computer oriented then it’s accessible there as well - Celtx Shot -
If you couldn’t tell from the name this is the camera equivalent of Celtx Script. It’s a great way to organize your thoughts into something people outside of film minds can understand. I don’t use it quite as much as scripts but still a useful tool. - Shot design - Exactly what it sounds like, you make a 2D or 3D model of what you want the set to look like. It’s really helpful to see how empty or full your set is and be able to adjust before the real deal happens - Drop'n roll - this is another version of iMovie that allows you to piece your film together - Prisma - this is a great app for photography, it takes a whole different meaning to filters. It turns pictures into what seems like paintings. Truly beautiful! - Filmmaker Pro - Another iMovie editing app - Slow motion - unique little tool to put videos into slow motion, works great if you’re editing on any of the apps mentioned that may not get the specific speed you’d like - Pic collage - I use this quite often to make a set of photos from the same place to really showcase them. Also nice for photoshopping - Notebook - just another way to record your thoughts, keeping film aside from everything else Those are all of the FREE apps currently on my phone, if there are any you’d like to add or say anything about the ones above feel free to! Happy filming, -J
