The brief I was working towards was finalising
the title sequence for my coming-of-age movie “Fixated”; meaning she’s fixed on
an idea/something, determined to achieve something good. I had to film different
locations, scenes and angles along with focusing on the mise-en-scene, editing
with Final Cut Pro and selecting the soundtrack. Fixated is about a financially
unfortunate girl who lives in the suburbs of London, her environment is so poor
that it drives her to dreaming of escaping. There’s a recurring theme of “dreaming”
throughout. Her journey of improving her life begins; she travels to the city’s
center surrounding herself with people she aspires to be; yet she’s out of
place. Following her around London, you see get to see her dream as come true
and the transition from the beginning. It finishes of on a good note where she
finally gets to where she wants to be, a richer and happier state of mind.
The sub-genre is a “feel-good drama”, as
you may feel good that you can see the juxtaposition from her being poor to
rich and the improvement of how happy she is. The storyline and cinematography
main goal is to be emotive, playing on the audience’s emotions.
