I came up with the idea of turning a poem into a short film because i have always had a passion for poetry and i thought that by turning it into a short film it would be another way for people to experience the words in the poem and give them life.
I searched around Youtube to find examples of poems that were made into short films and came across a few different styles of producing the poem into a film. For example:
as you can see this has been created through the use of wax dolls and miniature hand made sets along with computer generated animation, with the poem being narrated over the top of the action. I felt that this way of presenting the poem helped to add another dimension to the words of the poem as it gave them life through vision.
the way that this poem was presented was through i slideshow of images that linked to each line of the poem, the words of the poem were written on the image rather than spoken as gentle calming music was played throughout, i felt that this way of presenting the poem gave it feeling and emotion that was well suited to the words.
This was a personal favourite of mine, I felt that through the use of people and giving the poem a story it gave the audience more chance to connect with the words. I especially liked how the narration was spoken over the silence of the action but with the slow music just behind the words. Through watching this representation of a poem gave me the idea to do something similar with the poem 'letter from a broken heart' a poem that i read on the internet and fell in love with.
