The Fly by Olly Williams

Image
This short film by Olly Williams lasts about 6 minutes and focuses largely on the main protagonist who is a getaway driver, awaiting the completion of a bank robbery. This intense idea is easily turned comedic with the use of an annoying fly. This film heavily relies on the acting of the lead actor, Jack Doolan, however, more physically than verbally. The lack of speech highlights Williams impressive cinematography as so much is conveyed through this medium as well as many other micro elements of film such as the performance and the editing. Editing: The average shot length is very short and the jump cuts between shots creates a snappy, more intense atmosphere. This editing style has been used advantageously to set the scene quickly.

Story Board

(storyboard 1)  (storyboard 2) Above are 2 pieces of my storyboard which I completed for the majority of the film. Storyboard 1 was my original plan for the car scene in which Stanley is listening to music and Rose shouting at him. The storyboard is not massively different from the result, which consists of a set of shot reverse shots of both Rose and Stanley sitting in the car. However, in the film, I have also included extra shots in the scene as it is longer than i anticipated in the storyboard. The film has more detail than this storyboard had. Storyboard 2 is the end of the scene where Rose and Stanley watch TV together awkwardly, and also the beginning of Rose's birthday scene. Again, the film result is not hugely similar to how I presented these scenes on my storyboard. In the birthday scene, I actually film it from the perspective of the cake and pan the camera left-right, which is a much more advanced shot than I was planning on doing and it definitley looks ...
