From previous lessons a lot of new techniques to portray your own writings were done. By creating your own adaptations it’s much easier to give out the message. When you're portraying another person’s work you need to research and develop what the author was thinking and as well some of his work. In this video what I wanted to create in my video was to show corruption and how people still do it in this time and day. I enjoyed producing this story in my own but still keeping much of its original form because it was something which I never done before. Even with some mistakes in my production the message got throught to the audience very well considering it was the first attempt in filming. When the work is viewed now that all the process is done it is believed that the most improvement needed was the placing of the sequence. For example after getting feedback from colleagues the placement of the close ups although shot properly they were placed inappropriately.
It was also the first time shooting with conversation, and was advised to improve in the volume stability and noise. Movement in shooting was tried so that it could create more visually pleasing shots also including lighting techniques as a part pf the mise-en-scene. Ending up with this final product was very challenging but was pleased because the knowledge of how to set the lighting as if a photograph was shot and this knowledge helped me a lot.

Starting with the negative example when “Gakki l-Gakpot” realized that he lost his money because he bet on “Hal Bazzaghni” team. Here the writer showed a negative emotion by saying that “Gakki” was swearing but he still had to pretend he is happy. The other emotional expression is of “Gojsi” when she won the money, she winked at “Zgicc” when she told him ‘Fittex igborli dawk il-mitt lira xbin! U zomm tnejn ghalik. U ghemzitni’. She showed that she was happy that she won the money but later on the story we knew that her boyfriend was “Hal Bazzaghni’s” goalkeeper, sh winked because deep down she knew that her plan succeeded. Also taking into consideration the theory of Raymond Henry Williams “The Ideal”, the human perfection. What the human is able to do not just regarding material things.
Taking into consideration the story that “Gakki l-Gakpot” tried to tell “Zgicc” to bet some money with him so together they can win because he knew there were three players that were corrupted, but then at the other side we see the character of “Gojsi” that she asks “Zgicc” to bet her a fifty pounds and not mentioning her name, here “Gojsi” was able not to tell “Zgicc” what she was up too and letting “Zgicc” win some money with her but instead she used him not to show her name so she can win alone. In this unit Reading the Image we had two tasks which consisted of a photography part and a short film for the last task. The process started back in the first task where we had to choose a story to interpret it into the series of photographs and a short movie as mentioned before. When creating both assigned tasks it was always kept in consideration to keep the message of the story but think outside the box and be creative.
When the story was chosen from the book used in secondary schools Arja Friska, it was read for a couple of times to get the message and a personal though on the passage. The main messages of the story is mainly about corruption especially that in football. As sub-messages is that the people will go to a lot of extents to win. Before the adaptation of the story was in the process of being filmed, it was analysed this is to see how screen theory works in relation to the audience. Pathos is one of the rhetoric found in the story, it is an argument attempted to evoke the emotional audience, and there are two examples that prove this in my story. Here is the link (You Tube) to my final short movie:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E02h6krPjNQ From the very first of the semester till the end the adaptation of the story changed quite a bit. In the story we see that there is a female actor but in my adaptation I chose to change the character to a male, this is because it was much harder then I expected to find a female actress.
I also changed two parts in the story, the part where the main actor bought the goal keeper to loose the game, I decided to arrange it so that the bookmaker buy the goal keeper, and the part where the game is heard on the radio instead of going to see it in the ground, this is done to create an alternative of having to fill up and entire stadium full of people plus the players and also to avoid changing locations, it was a good idea of choosing one location and film everything there. There is no waist on time in changing locations and setting up every time. In terms of filming I had a little bit of a problem regarding timing because the actors had some personal activities to attend, so they couldn’t stay for a long period of time. Since the actors had to leave early we had to work really fast and there was only a day available for filming so clearly there was a big constrain against time. Another setback was the ambient sound,I wanted perfect silence to create a dramatic feeling aseptically when actors are thinking, but in the location chosen there were cars passing by so we had to re-shoot a lot of the scenes.
In terms of lighting I had everything I needed (Flood lights, lamp, diffusers, reflectors). Since I planned everything in advance when coming to the actual shoot I knew what I had to do and set everything accordingly. In terms of editing since it was my first experience in editing it was very challenging but managed to do everything by looking up for tutorials on the internet. This is the script for my short video "Punt u Dro"
