'Sign Language' and 'Signs' are two short films we watched in class, 3 and 12 minutes in length respectively. The romance element between the male protagonist and a female character particularly interested our group, as this is what we are going to base our own project around. In 'Signs' and our own film, the main character is observed going through his daily routine, e.g. waking up, getting dressed and eating breakfast. The opening overhead shot of the former is something we want to replicate in our film, although in a close-up rather than a mid-shot.
The drab colour palette is another aspect that we thought would work well, as well as the below shot showing the protagonist eating his breakfast. The initial mundanity of the character's life is captured here by the aforementioned dull colour present, his forlorn facial expression and apathetic body language, aspects of mise en scene which would aid the characterisation in our piece.
