Baz Luhrmann's films link themselves together with a variety of themes that he uses. To create my film I want to use what I find stands out to me within these themes and understand how I these can be made relevant within my film. Danielle Prudi (2013) explains that all his films share a romantic story but these romances collide with conflict within the film. Of course these films revolve around the romantic storyline so I think this theme should set the mood of my film within how it will look and the reactions we see from the characters. For the music I also think that I should try and find romantic music as an option too to fit in with this theme.
His films also involve a comedic aesthetic so I need to include laughter and smiling within the character's reactions. What makes up the comedic side of Luhrmann's films is the over exaggeratedness of the characters. This theme of being over dramatic stands out even more within the vivid coloured costumes and the energy throughout the scenes. He also portrays this through the lively and colourful arrangement of the scenery within each film (Danielle Prudi, Prezi, 2013) explains. For my film I want to express this theme through the makeup looks I will design. I also want to pursue this idea further with how the film will look by projecting colourful images from his films onto the characters and backdrop. I think by doing this it will add the artistic aesthetic I want and create the romantic atmosphere I am looking for.
The edit of his films involve fast track movement and intense closeups within the camera techniques (Danielle Prudi, Prezi, 2013) explains Within filming each scene I don't want to completely take every aspect of Baz Luhrmann's style but I do think I could recreate one of these techniques in a subtle way. I think doing intense closeups rather than fast track movement would suit my film better because this can be done in a much more subtle tone (Danielle Prudi, Prezi, 2013) explains. Using fast movements, I don't think this would fit in with my film as I am only using one source of space and this would probably be more suited if there were scenes in different places.
Possibly the most unique style that Luhrmann includes in his films is how he re-envisions Musical Theatre and Vaudeville. I think I could take this aesthetic and put it into the use of audio for my film with genres of old silent film music.
Overall Baz Luhrmann wide range of unique themes gives me access to all sorts of ways that can make my film look creative.
