Carcass Script comments by Matt Gibbons

January 18, 2008

I just read the documentation on your word press site, finishing by printing out the script and giving it a good paper based read – I think it sounds really interesting-before you mentioned the “predominantly white yet warm room” i visualised most things prior to this scene in a cold, metallic blue sort of colour pallete – I think it would have to be filmed in HD to capture the ‘too perfect’ look of everything, I love the idea of perhaps trying to make things which visually look so clean and perfect, and making these things the visually uncomfortable, while attempting to make things that naturally have imperfections, blemishes, and are not necessiraly perfectly framed – with a warm welcoming, natural tone.I also read into it that the imperfections, the pains and discomforts that don’t exist in the world to most people should be almost welcomed as they are part of living.Liked the concept drawings, i recognised a location!the simple, unillustrative monotone dialogue came across in the script well – to me nothing feels out of place, many aspects of the ‘production’ are very consistent in their direction to create the world – i like the almost brand names that appear, i think this is a great idea and there’s no reason why this attention to detail which helps give the impression of a real world shouldn’t exist in a short – i don’t understand why this isn’t done more in shorter productions- i think it’s important to give the impression of a past, a present and a future if you’re creating your own world as it were.have you read a brave new world by aldous huxley?
