Product Research: Trance


"Imagine that you are a feather and are gently floating down from a great height. Feel yourself gently falling, re-creating a falling sensation in your body awareness every time you breathe OUT. Feel yourself holding position and floating in midair as you breathe IN. Feel the atmosphere around you; imagine strands of textured clouds moving upward as you fall gently through them. Continue this, feeling yourself floating gently downward and falling deeper and deeper into the trance state with your every falling breath. IN and OUT can be reversed to whatever feels most natural." You are now in a state of Trance.

Last night I went to watch the Danny Boyle film Trance, which was mind blowing. I was blown away by the quality, it put every film ever made to shame even Hitchcock's Psycho. 
I wish the film had came out before I started my media project because by watching that, I feel like I can produce something almost similar. 
The use of shots was amazing, it dictated the frame, and emotions of the audience. 
Another area that it did great in was mise-en-scene, Boyle's use of symbolism was very subtle, he also managed to put in humor in the serious psychological thriller. What really made the audience laugh was when the character of James McAvoy left the building after making out with Rosario Dawson, the building number was 69.
