The Red String of Fate is a popular myth in both Chinese and Japanese culture.
. According to this myth, the gods tie an invisible red string around the ankles of men and women who are destined to be soul mates and will one day marry each other. According to Chinese legend, the deity in charge of "the red thread" is believed to be Yue Xia Lao, the old lunar matchmaker god who is also in charge of marriages.
The two people connected by the red thread are destined lovers, regardless of time, place or circumstances. This magical cord may stretch or tangle, but never break. This myth is similar to the Western concept of soulmates or a twin flame.
One story based apon the string of fate.
one story featuring the red string of fate involves a young boy. Walking home one night, a young boy sees an old man standing beneath the moonlight (Yue Xia Lao). The man explains to the boy that he is attached to his destined wife by a red thread. Yue Xia Lao shows the boy the young girl who is destined to be his wife. Being young and having no interest in having a wife, the young boy picks up a rock and throws it at the girl, running away. Many years later, when the boy has grown into a young man, his parents arrange a wedding for him. On the night of his wedding, his wife waits for him in their bedroom, with the traditional veil covering her face. Raising it, the man is delighted to find that his wife is one of the great beauties of his village. However, she wears an adornment on her eyebrow. He asks her why she wears it and she responds that when she was a young girl, a boy threw a rock at her that struck her, leaving a scar on her eyebrow. She self consciously wears the adornment to cover it up. The woman is, in fact, the same young girl connected to the man by the red thread shown to him by Yue Xia Lao back in his childhood.

insparation for delilahs character
The character of Naomi from 90210 a very selfish and self-centered characters which is similar to ours and, which we have related to during the construction of our character and its profile. When construction out character, she is a very kind of daddy’s girl kind of character although she didn’t grow up with her father, she is a character who gets everything she wants, and is all about the glamour and the attention.
She is represented as a master of manipulation, of peers and especially the opposite sex, who most of the time she has wrapped around her finger. Basically your typical kind of ‘bithchy’ character.

daydream sequence idea
Although cheating isn’t the best form of relationship, the film, also has aspects of romance. We intend to show this through a day dream sequence which in my head is very soft calm and peaceful, almost making the affairs,OK as it will be a perspective into her mind. This day dream has been inspired by scenes and the relationship between the characters in 500 days of summer which seem really just genuine and romantic, as well as calm and peaceful is which my vision for the day dream sequence. This is to show the soft side of Delilah, similar to the one of Zooey Deschanel which shows that she actually has some sort of attachment to these men. these pictures show what i mean
cheating women characteristics
this annotated picture is full of stereotypical representations of cheating women, some of these are essential in establishing our character as bit of a cheater, but because she inst based 100% on that action.
final film idea research
Final film idea research:
Our film is about a woman who defies the string of fate, and basically cheats on two men.
For this concept I have then researched the characters and attitudes of women who cheat. Look behind the reasons as to why they do so, and how the ones they hurt often react.
The typical cheating woman is represented as a mean and evil woman, or sometimes extremely quiet ones, sometime they say it’s the quiet ones that are the most mischievous. Our character has a little bit of both, as although she does go on to cheat on these men; she is actually attached to them.
For her cheating side I have looked into films and TV shows like:
Mistresses
Pandoras box
Eastenders
Why did I get married?
Hollyoaks.
My favorite one and most realistic is the character of Mercedes from holly oaks; who can be seen as a very beautiful, sexy, and independent woman.
Her marriage with her husband is something we would think should make her happy, however she cheats with another man in the series called Calvin.
When we look at her character we can see that she is quiet:
*A devious woman
*very opinionated
*quiet secretive about her personal life
* is a good liar
* has a loud mouth, which she uses to defend herself. To defend her self, or to avoid suspicion as well as in other things.
These character traits are very similar to all the other woman who cheat in the films which I have researched.
However thee character of Delilah is not just a cheating woman, she is kind of stuck between two men, which she really likes, which is why we intend to have the broken strings at the end of the film actually have a big impact on her, which would not be the case if she was just a cheating person without a care in the e world. From this I have decided the character traits best for the character of Delilah are
*secretive and private about her private life
*organized
*glamorous
*a good liar
*a devious woman
However at the same time
*gentle
*reasonably nice
* Easy going
This is so she doesn’t just fall into the category of a ‘cheating woman’ because although she cheats, she is much more than that
When looking at the motives behind, cheating woman there are many reasons, using the example of the character Mercedes from holly oaks,
Her reason for her affair was that her husband had was suffering from AIDS which she found lot to cope with and she found comfort in another man, which she didn’t have to care for or wouldn’t always depress her with the subject. Most importantly although she doesn’t like dealing with the AIDS she still stays with her husband, because she does in fact love him, but feels the same for Calvin, the other man. This is simply because each of the men has something that the other doesn’t making her stuck between the two, this is defiantly something which we will incorporate in our character of Delilah.
Based on my research I have also found that the top 4 reasons why women cheat are as followed:
Revenge
Self esteem
Being the bad girl
Lack of intimacy
The most interesting and achievable reason for our film would be the self esteem one
It is thought that having more than one man after a woman makes her feel more sexier, more wanted, basically much better about herself and allows her to overcome her insecurities.
Delilah could be one of those women, just searching for attention.

During filming pictures
These are a few pictures which we have taken during the filming process of our movie.
abstract world practice photo story board
these pictures were taken o practice the abstract world, and see what i would end up looking like
day dream photostory board/ auditions
These pictures are the ones we took during our audition process.
Our main aim was to try and get shots similar to our story board so we could see what they looked like, aswell as try and see if shots hat we were quiet unsure about whjere acheivable.
These are the actors we have chosen to have for our film.
Joshouah freeland was chosen because he worked well with rebbecca , as hey were good friends. However this didn’t mean that we didn’t have problems, with directions, sometimes they didn’t know what we ment by by “do this” so we just had to actually show them or show them the story board which wokred.
We also chose akin because he worked well with rebbecca after he let loos as he was very closed and gave the impression of discomfort in the beginning, however as ime went on he got into the role and looked on on the camera.
The shots taken are some of the shots in the day dream sequence which was our main worry as we didn’t know how we were going to execute them but this audiion also allowed us to be able to practice these hots which we kept in the end.
film similar to ours
The book of Eli I a film which I have really enjoyed and once we found out the concept and them of our film, I decided to look at films not exactly similar to ours , but films which are based upon something like our film which will be based upon the red strings of fate. The book of Eli is one of those films based upon biblical chracters, which in this case is Eli- Eli was, according to the Books of Samuel, a Jewish High Priest of Shiloh, and one of the last Israelite Judges before the rule of kings in ancient Israel this story has been developed to make a different story, for a great movie
The story revolves around Eli, a nomad in a post-apocalyptic world, who is told by a voice to deliver his copy of a book, the last remaining bible, to a safe location on the West Coast of the United States. The history of the post-war world is explained along the way as is the importance of Eli's task.
This story and charcater although, taken from something else through constant development, it is very different to the orginal concept, which is just like our film, the original concept, is about the strings of fate, a positive I dea which claims that, two people who are ment for each other are tied to each other by red strings usually on their pinki fingers, and no matter how far or long they go from weach other this string never breaks, and reunites the two, solemates in the end. Through constant development and changes, we changed this and made it, the complete opossite as in our film the womans strings do break in the end, she is tied to more than one person and realistically you don’t have nore than one soul mate, and noone is reunited in the end, they are seperated.
This is Idea of basing films on old stories, or concepts is mostly popular in animation films, as stories are mainly aimed at children. Dysney is most popular for executing these films and have been succesfull in bringing the stroies of , conderella, beauty and the beast,herculese and snow white. Dysney have also recently, taken the original concept of the princess and the frog. This clasic story is, orgigonally about a young princess who plays out in her garden, with a wondefull golden ball, which drops into a pond. To get it basck she makes a promise to a frog who is secretly a prince, which she does not keep. In the end she does keep to her promis and finds, the frog tuning into a handsome prince which she gets married to in the end.
similar films to ours are films with elements of romance, films with twists where everyone has some sort of relation to each other, recentfilms like this are fioms such as valentines day, hes just not that ino you , whos story lines, chrcaters as well as there film posters have been an inparation to the desinging of my poster and the construction of, our chracters.

Film poster research
From my research I have found out that the main aim of a film poster is, to giver a glimpse of a film to an audience. This is why a lot of money goes into there campaign. Many films have poster campaign, more than one type of poster to show kind of show audiences “our film has a variety of interesting things come and watch it” all star cast films, do this a lot as different people may have different preferences in actors, and would maybe prefer to see a certain person on the poster than another one, these are all ways to attract your target audience especially when you know what they want. An example of this is the posters for harry potter and the deathly hallows.
.
This is one reason why I have chosen to produce 3 different film posters, from the same campaign for my film, especially since it is a small production, I would need all the advertising I can get.
.
now for as long as I can remember I have always found the style of film posters below very interesting. Main reason being because I see it as having a lot of character because it has so much going on and it sometimes introduces all the character or maybe certain settings in the film which for me personally makes the film poster just that little more interesting than just a normal picture, of the main actors. This style inst always used, as many film posters remain quiet traditional, but tends to show up in films with a big cast, of films where all the characters have some sort of relation to each other, for example it has been done in posters for films such as valentines day, 500 days of summer, and a new And a Spanish film , loose canons.
This poster style also goes back to previous research. When I researched various styles for tittles and opening credits, the idea of stop motion animation, or montages with different pictures forming one.

FILM POSTERS
Film poster number one, is the way it is because I wanted to focus on the strings. With all my posters the men are no, seen this is to keep the mystery going of what she is holding and what it relates to, not to give too much away. As simply seeing her with two men in the background would basically give away the whole story.
The colour scheme is red black and white as they are the key colors in the film, red being the main one as this film is about the red strings of fat, the black acts as a background colour, which brings out the red a lot, and also represents the abstract world which occasionally comes up in the film. The white acts as a complimentary colour, not to make the film m look like a typical horror film, as clearly that is not what it is. The ball of string is also present in the poster to enhance the concept of the strings of fate.
This second, is done this way, once again to emphasize the whole idea of mystery, the red and the men, which is why in this one of her lovers is shown but only half way to keep the mystery going on. I chose this picture as it was a key part in out film, he whispering kind of controlling and telling the men things which make her fall for her not even knowing about each other. Once again the titles and fonts remained the same, and they do in all of my, posters because they go with the theme of stings.
string along also has aspects of romance and intimacy which is why I chose this picture as it is, intimate but not too much and gets a message a cross which may not be the clearest but would push audiences to watch the film.
Finally his poster is one of my favorite. I did it this way to switch it up, as I wanted to emphasis on the red however not make it too similar to the first one as I had the same intention in that one. Here we get a feel of the whole film but not too much. This is done through the small pictures in one end of the film this idea was taken from film posters with many different blocks with different scenes or different characters, I though this was an effective way to show the feel of a film kind of like a mood board and a poster all in one. The bigger picture on the right, of the main character Delilah, is one where she is the focus I did this because at the end of the day the whole film is basically about her life. Her lipstick is highlighted from the black and white feel of the picture, and once again, this was done to highlight the red, and the theme of the strings of fate. This is also done through the title font.

film review
The history of low budget films hasn’t always been the best. Many films have kindly illustrated this point for us exactly. This film however is bound to surprise you, as for the first time less is actually more, in this film industry. Director’s Iman Shafi and Noriane Atahy’s choice of silence and engaging story line, is what sets this small production apart from all the rest, and is to become a British success, just like slumdog millionaire
String along is about the story of a woman’s, greed for love and attention which leads to nothing but dramatic events. This short 6 minute film begins with, shits of chracters Delilah’s life and how she leads it, which near the end is changed for the better for those around her, but not exactly for the best for her.
This beautiful and very visual drama is filled with good acting (you can practically feel the emotions) which makes up for the lack of dialogue. It’s filled with many visual elements which act as clues towards helping us understand the story more. At some points of the film we are surprised with shots of out the ordinary scenes, which create less of a bore from the silence of reality. Theses shots are well filmed and fit in with the world of the film, and act as an escape as well.
Overall thumbs up to director as actors, Akin Smith, Rebecca Noble, and Joshua Freeland, know what there doing and regardless of the lack of sound we can still understand the story.
This film could be the future of, small films, and may gain recognition for many to come.
Verdict:
Moving and interesting, whose silence may not necessarily be for every one

film reviews
Film reviews
Film reviews are a form of film criticism which is a simple analysis of a film, to let people know about a certain film, evaluating the artistic side of things, and how much it would appeal to a public. Film goers often use the to decide what film is good at the moment, or whether a film they anticipated is as good as they thought and basically “even worth paying to see”
As the number of film fans following the advice of reviewer grew, film companies saw profits diminish across a broader number of films. In order to counter this development, film studios increased marketing budgets and avenues of marketing to create more interest in a movie prior to the opening.
Online film review magazines
Online magazines personally are the future, as they be shared in so many ways by the touch of a button, number of social networking sits for example face book, is an example of this. A lot of online magazines these days have a little banner at the banner dedicated to sharing the article, or sharing your views about what you though of the article.
Blogging has also introduced opportunities for a new wave of amateur film critics to have their opinions heard. These review blogs may focus on one genre, director or actor, or encompass a much wider variety of films. Friends, friends of friends, or complete strangers are able to visit these sites, and can often leave their own comments about the movie and/or the author's review.
Some magazines are dedicated to a certain genre or, audience for example; some films are dedicated to only writing about horror film rereleases, such as shock horror magazine.
Others are dedicated to sale budget productions; these are mostly based on the web, as this is easier and quicker as well as very cheap to produce in comparison to creating your own mainstream magazine.
This means that the style of certain magazines can be very different. Some film dedicated to young people for example would you language less than formal or humorous to appeal to their particular audience.

tittles research
Film tittles are not really considered important as audience really pay attention to them straight away however, they help the look and theme of the film, and just pull everything together, I guess that would be the main aim of our title sequence, an example of this would the animation film coralline, the theme of the movie is dolls, and making and fabric ect.... and this is shown through in the tittles. With using buttons as O’s and having names go through needles ECT... These small things look very effective.
the true blood opening sequence is also effective in the same way, the tittles reflect the series theme, of blood and as i said befor it just pulls everything together, nothing is out of place or random it just all ties in. this is what i hope my group and i are able to acheive with our tittles.

stop motion animation- tittles reseache
As an individual task, I have been taking care of researching different kinds of interesting titles which we could use in our film, I have looked at famous opening sequences by people such as the famous soul bass, but out of everything what has taken my interest is the opening sequences of animations, not just any however but stop motion animation. Here is some back ground information about it.
Stop motion (also known as stop action or frame-by-frame) is an animation technique to make a physically manipulated object appear to move on its own. The object is moved in small increments between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a continuous sequence. Clay figures are often used in stop motion for their ease of repositioning. Motion animation using clay is called clay animation or clay-mation.
Now with this I thought it would interesting and different if we used this concept for our tittles, as our film is very visual based we want the them of the red string to follow through from middle to end, so I thought it would be quiet cool if we could have a stop motion opening sequence with the red strings, spelling out cast and crew names, its an idea which am aware needs to be developed, but i also know could work.
Another idea I gained from this video below was to maybe have fabrics saying the names of cast and stuff, scattered everywhere however bring them together, sort of draw them together, with the red string, like in the video.
these vedios below are now more relevent to our them and kind of portrays what my vison is, the red string.

broken embraces
As part of the media course, we went to visit, the London Apollo cinema to, watch, broken embraces, a Spanish film originally called, Los abrazos rotos. The film starred Penelope Cruz, and was about the story of a young aspiring actress and her love for more than one man, which eventually brings her to her death.
The film for me was very exciting, something which I did not expect. This is because the film was in Spanish and so we had to, read subtitles, this from the start was a turnoff, and I did not expect to like the film as much as I did, I almost forgot that I was reading subtitles, this is very rare, and has only happened with films like City of God.
The film had a good story line as well as great visuals; the colour pattern of the film was red, which followed through throughout, and this was easy to spot and done effectively, so it didn’t look over the top or weird.
There were a few things which I found very interesting, such as camera shots, and angles, the most interesting for me was a very long take, which was done during a conversation between the main chracters, and a young boy. The long take went to each character without, cutting and this looked really good. Something which I defiantly want to attempt in my own movie.

final treatment
Pitch: 'Woman' is 19-20 years old. She is romantically involved with 2 men at the same time without them knowing. She uses them like a puppeteer, and from doing so she gains attention and feels good about herself. However what she doesn't realise is her lies are tampering with the red strings of fate she has made with the men, and how easily they can break.
We are introduced to ‘woman’, laying sideways, panning up from the bottom of her bed to her face; her eyes open a few seconds before her alarm goes, off. We have a shot from under her bed on the other side, of her putting on her red slippers.
Switch to a scene of a bedroom showing how clean and organised this woman is, she walks past the camera in her towel. Around her vanity table we see various pictures of her with various men, past lovers and boyfriends. Red flowers sit in a vase on the table as well as red gift packages. There are close ups of her doing her red, nails, and applying her red lipstick. Woman she walks over to her wardrobe, and opens the door. As it closes we see her in a changed outfit. In her reflection she smoothes her hair and giggles, looks upward as she thinks of her two lovers.
We see a montage of her and two men, being intimate, touching hands, lightly kissing her neck and cheeks and embracing her, we see both boyfriends have done this in the past as she recalls it.
We return to reality as we follow her downstairs and into the dining room, were we see a laid table for a meal, we watch as she adds the finishing touches, bringing in Chinese to set down, a focus on her hand as she licks her fingers from the food and lights a candle.
'Ding dong' we hear the door bell ring, and just before she walks to the door, she notices and pulls off a fraying red tread from her top, she smiles to herself and just
As she opens the door we cut to the abstract room, we see the 'Woman' facing one of the men, she looks at him and while laughing crooks her finger in front of her in a suggestive manner, thus pulling on the red string attached, which then pulls him forward./ woman standing in the foreground, of the shot with the men behind, her and she puts up her stringy fingers, and pulls one man forwards, as she does so We cut back to the house scene as she pulls him through the door and hugs him; in excitement, she leads him by the hand to the kitchen/living room where table is set. Her lover closes the door behind him however not properly leaving the door ajar
the two sit down and have their meal, we switch back to abstract scenes and have fast edits of the string unravelling, and her whispering in the current mans ears, when we switch back to reality she pulls back from kissing, him on the cheek.
She then leans over to pick up a fortune cookie, and read ‘…………’ as she does so we cut to her other man, walking to her door, about to knock he notices, the door isn’t closed properly, in suspicion he calls out for her and walks into the hose, to were the two, are on their date. We cut back to woman who is confused from the message, and looks up, and sees her second lover, over the first ones shoulder. Her face says it all< and the man across the table, is confused and looks back to find man number two, holding red roses. She quickly tries to explain her self, in panic, but this does not work as each man’s face begins to change.
We cut back to abstract scene which shows, the strings going out of control, and cut back to reality with men shouting and arguing, on each side of her, spilling wine, throwing the roses ect… whilst in the middle woman does nothing, but sheds a tear, we constantly cut back and forth from reality to the abstract scene. This shows everything spiralling out of control with men spinning around her, and acting all crazy.
In the reality scene camera zooms into her face and the silent and slow motion chaos around her is stooped, both men tell her its over at the same time/ which in the abstract world shows the breakage of the strings. The screen is black
And we go back to woman bedroom the next morning. Her alarm goes off, and she is still sleeping, throwing it to her wall. She gets up in yesterdays clothes and make up, and shifts her red slippers to the side, we go to her table, where everything is all messed up, her flowers are dead, and the water is dirty, all her cosmetics are smear and all over the place, the clothes in her cupboard are messed up, we cut back to abstract scene with woman sitting on the floor alone, staring at the broken strings on her fingers.

the two sit down and have their meal, we switch back to abstract scenes and have fast edits of the string unravelling, and her whispering in the current mans ears, when we switch back to reality she pulls back from kissing, him on the cheek.
She then leans over to pick up a fortune cookie, and read ‘…………’ as she does so we cut to her other man, walking to her door, about to knock he notices, the door isn’t closed properly, in suspicion he calls out for her and walks into the hose, to were the two, are on their date. We cut back to woman who is confused from the message, and looks up, and sees her second lover, over the first ones shoulder. Her face says it all< and the man across the table, is confused and looks back to find man number two, holding red roses. She quickly tries to explain her self, in panic, but this does not work as each man’s face begins to change.
We cut back to abstract scene which shows, the strings going out of control, and cut back to reality with men shouting and arguing, on each side of her, spilling wine, throwing the roses ect… whilst in the middle woman does nothing, but sheds a tear, we constantly cut back and forth from reality to the abstract scene. This shows everything spiralling out of control with men spinning around her, and acting all crazy.
In the reality scene camera zooms into her face and the silent and slow motion chaos around her is stooped, both men tell her its over at the same time/ which in the abstract world shows the breakage of the strings. The screen is black
And we go back to woman bedroom the next morning. Her alarm goes off, and she is still sleeping, throwing it to her wall. She gets up in yesterdays clothes and make up, and shifts her red slippers to the side, we go to her table, where everything is all messed up, her flowers are dead, and the water is dirty, all her cosmetics are smear and all over the place, the clothes in her cupboard are messed up, we cut back to abstract scene with woman sitting on the floor alone, staring at the broken strings on her fingers.

hes just not that into you
A film with a similar concept which I found interesting was, he’s just not that into you, a film which releates to ours, as it revovles around the relationships, and desires of more than the typical ‘two’ people.
Nine people in Baltimore try to attain their romantic ideals, usually thwarted by the differing ideals and desires of their chosen partner. At the center of this is Gigi (Ginnifer Goodwin), a young woman who repeatedly misinterprets the behavior of her romantic partners.

[N:] Am I throwing you off?
Nope
[N:] Didn’t think so
How you doin’ young lady
That feelin’ that you givin’ really drives me crazy
You don’t have to play about the joke
I was at a loss of words first time that we spoke
You're looking for a girl that’ll treat you right
You lookin’ for her in the day time with the light
You might be the type if I play my cards right
I'll find out by the end of the night
[N:] You expect me to just let you hit it
But will you still respect me if you get it
All I can do is try, gimme one chance
What’s the problem I don’t see no ring on your hand
I be the first to admit it, I’m curious about you, you seem so innocent
[N:] You wanna get in my world, get lost in it
Boy I’m tired of running, lets walk for a minute
[Chorus]
Promiscuous girl
Wherever you are
I’m all alone
And it's you that I want
[N:] Promiscuous boy
You already know
That I’m all yours
What you waiting for?
Promiscuous girl
You're teasing me
You know what I want
And I got what you need
[N:] Promiscuous boy
Let's get to the point
Cause we're on a roll
Are you ready?
[Verse]
[N:] Roses are red
Some diamonds are blue
Chivalry is dead
But you're still kinda cute
Hey! I can't keep my mind off you
Where you at, do you mind if I come through
[N:] I’m out of this world come with me to my planet
Get you on my level do you think that you can handle it?
They call me Thomas
last name Crown
Recognize game
I'm a lay mine's down
[N:] I'm a big girl I can handle myself
But if I get lonely I’ma need your help
Pay attention to me I don't talk for my health
I want you on my team
[N:] So does everybody else.
Baby we can keep it on the low
Let your guard down ain’t nobody gotta know
If you with it girl I know a place we can go
[N:] What kind of girl do you take me for?
[Chorus]
Don't be mad, don't get mean
[N:] Don't get mad, don't be mean
Hey! Don't be mad, don't get mean
[N:] Don't get mad, don't be mean
Wait! I don't mean no harm
I can see you with my t-shirt on
I can see you with nothing on
feeling on me before you bring that on
Bring that on
[N:] You know what I mean
Girl, I’m a freak you shouldn't say those things
I’m only trying to get inside your brain
To see if you can work me the way you say
It's OK, it's alright
I got something that you gonna like
Hey is that the truth or are you talking trash
Is your game M.V.P. like Steve Nash
[Chorus]
Promiscuous Girl
Wherever you are
I’m all alone
And its you that I want
[N:] Promiscuous Boy
I'm calling your name
But you're driving me crazy
The way you're making me wait
[N:] Am I throwing you off?
Nope
[N:] Didn’t think so
