A central idea or theme helps to portray the message of the film. Whether negative or positive, a good theme will leave the audience with something to think about. A theme that I will use in my final project is the triumph of an individual who can prevail despite the difficulties.
The hope for using this theme is that the audience will gain a newfound boost of confidence, and not be afraid to face their toughest challenges. To do this, I must bring emotion through all of the characters combined. The audience will feel empathetic for the protagonist, as they are the point of interest.
Tieing in the theme to the characters seems easy, but what about minor things such as background details? A good way to make a character seem more in touch with their story is the surroundings. To make the protagonist in my film seem more humble, I will include mise-en-scene items and costuming that fit that description.
Another good way to connect the film to the theme is by the use of the dialogue itself. I will include certain phrases that are negative or positive that go along with what is happening in the scene and the overarching theme. Connecting all of these together will cement the theme into the film, and make the audience feel empowered, which is the purpose of my final project.
