INTRUDER - Court-métrage

<p>We are two students&nbsp;in a Bordeaux&#39;s film school. After the selection of our <strong>short film</strong>, we are now in <strong>preproduction</strong>&nbsp;to shoot it from <strong>May 14th to 17th.</strong></p><p><br />This is a project that has been maturing for over <strong>a year and a half</strong>. We appreciate <strong>aesthetics</strong> and have sought <strong>to sublimate</strong> a theme that can scare,<strong> Death.</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /><em>Mathis Frezouls, scriptwriter, director, cinematographer and passionate about cinema since childhood.</em><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/506275/21994279_1661656427260818_1895801430326699610_o-1523574272.jpg" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><em>R&eacute;mi Bruneau, scriptwriter, director, editor and photographer.</em><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/506276/30652374_1865589693534156_2080093974743220224_n-1523574322.jpg" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here&nbsp;some of our works : &nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>_<a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQ_-BcQBBBI">Report about&nbsp;6th edition of FIFIB (French&nbsp;Independent&nbsp;Film Festival)</a><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/506459/Capture_d__cran_2018-04-13___21.07.24-1523646503.png" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>_<a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHTnOAzAVBc&amp;t=23s">APR&Egrave;S - Ending year short film&nbsp;directed by Nicolas Detant and Mathis Frezouls</a><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/506461/Capture_d__cran_2018-04-13___21.11.05-1523646684.png" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>_<a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6YjUTSGAQ4">RACINE - Short film written, directed and edited in 48h</a><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/506467/Capture_d__cran_2018-04-13___21.18.35-1523647198.png" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><u><em><strong>What &nbsp;?</strong></em></u></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Edgar, a famous&nbsp;photograph&nbsp;tormented by his next exhibition, discovers a corpse one evening by the seaside...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>First disguted, he finds himself fascinated by the corps.

I imagined <strong>a man on a deserted beach</strong> discovering a <strong>corps</strong>e. From this, I sought to deepen this concept through a script. For a few months and a lot of different scripts, no version could really hold water. Mathis intervened, we started to work together to move towards<strong> co-writing and co-production</strong>. We were inspired by films like <u><em>It Follows</em></u>, <u><em>Sinister</em></u>, <u><em>Enemy</em></u>, <u><em>Nightcrawler</em></u>&nbsp;or even <u><em>A Ghost Story</em></u>. What was a real asset was the vision we shared on these films. We really enjoyed the <strong>dark, heavy and aesthetic atmosphere</strong> of these films. Finally, since we were young, we both have been very intrigued by death.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The theme of <strong>death and the obsession</strong> that can be had for it was directly the <strong>thread</strong> of our conception of the script. In our opinion, those questions are unique to everyone but it&#39;s impossible to obtain answers. This principle will be translated through the character who will develop a <strong>morbid obsession</strong> as the story progresses. With this short film we hope to show that the maximum we can answer stops at the <strong>experience of death</strong>. Everything that happens after remains the domain of the unknown.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><u><em><strong>How?</strong></em></u></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>We want to make beautiful this theme seen as a taboo and frightening in general. By focusing on the form of <strong>an atmospheric film</strong>, a lot of work will be done on<strong> aesthetics and music</strong>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Concerning the aesthetic, we opt for&nbsp;<strong>composed steady frames</strong> and frozen actions assimilating to <strong>paintings</strong>. <strong>Three dominant colors</strong> will convey an atmosphere that symbolizes the states of the character. <strong>Blue</strong> for <strong>discovery</strong>, <strong>red</strong> for <strong>experimentation</strong> and <strong>yellow</strong> for <strong>reflection</strong>. The music will support a <strong>heavy and distressing atmosphere</strong> throughout the film.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Our third desire is to highlight the <strong>art</strong>&#39;s ability&nbsp;to treat any subject by detaching from the vision implanted in society. We seek to highlight the fact that this <strong>theme</strong> is <strong>universal</strong> but remains a taboo and therefore these questions become personal and not shared. For this, we focused on an <strong>isolated main character</strong> that we follow in his daily life. It will have almost no interaction with other characters to finally get in touch with them only in the final sequence and <strong>through art</strong>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><u><em><strong>MOOD BOARD</strong></em></u></p><p><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/506282/mood_INTRUDER-1523578223.png" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><u><em><strong>MUSIC</strong></em></u></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Just like the <strong>trinity of colors</strong>, music has a very important place in this film. These<strong> three musical themes</strong> each represent a color, accentuating Edgar&#39;s state of mind. As said in the note of intent, the music will support the heavy atmosphere of the film.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Each piece has the same bass line, very serious, which will be present throughout the film. Very raw percussions accentuate the whole thing.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>&nbsp;B L E U</strong>:&nbsp;This piece <strong>introduces the atmosphere</strong>. It&nbsp;will be heard during the discovery of the corpse. It sets up the bass line, the red wire of the film.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>R O U G E</strong>: This second piece represents <strong>experimentation</strong>. As the name suggests it will be present for the sequences of <strong>photo lab</strong>. The percs&nbsp;are more <strong>brutal</strong>&nbsp;and heavy than in the previous piece. These percussions are accompanied by a<strong> floating melody</strong>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>J A U N E - E X P O S I T I O N</strong>: This last piece is a two in one. It combines both the yellow representing the <strong>reflection of Edgar </strong>and the <strong>end of the film</strong>. J A U N E is the most &quot;simple&quot; piece of the film. Only composed of a bass line and lighter percussion, it represents the <strong>calm </strong>that Edgar can have during his <strong>various phases of reflections</strong> along the film.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>E X P O S I T I O N</strong>: This song is a <strong>grouping</strong> of the 3 other colors / musics. The bass line is slightly more worked with more notes that supports the <strong>inevitability</strong> of the situation. Heavy percussion is also part of supporting and <strong>increasing the already heavy atmosphere.</strong></p>
