Proposal:
Different parts of Society's views on smoking will be depicted in my films. Many people are disgusted in it for health reasons, some associate smoking with bad behavior while for others it's part of their social life and they even find it attractive to smoke.
Film one: Seduction
This film will romanticize the act of smoking as from the 1920's it was a very popular and social thing to do. This will include close ups of models faces smoking, their lips, eyes and long fingers holding the cigarettes I will use slow motion so the smoke is slowly coming out of the models lips and rewind so the smoke is going back in. This technique is often used in films when a character is smoking to create sex appeal. I will use cut scenes of these close ups with cross dissolves so the scenes blend together creating a soft and dreamy atmosphere. The film will focus on two women. One in a modern environment and one from the 50's to contrast against each other. This will show that smoking is seen as a timeless seduction to men.
Film Two: Addiction
Clips of adverts saying "it tastes better" and " have one to day" will be overlaid onto scenes of a woman smoking. A clock will keep being shown to show she constantly needs to smoke. The scenes will begin to be shorter and faster with cigarettes dancing cross fading in the background. This will emphasize how smoking was shown as a good thing. The women will be aging and the end clip will be of her looking old and smoking in slow motion to show what smoking addiction can do to someones aging.
Film Three: Expectation versus reality
In this film I will use lots of cross dissolve fades of couples smoking together as the expectation for smoking is casual and social. I will then contrast this at the ending with a close up, fast motion of a girl smoking and aging. A smoke overlay will be used on this film to create the atmosphere of deathly smoking. I will use split screen to show all the couples happy together and then cross fade this onto the girl alone, smoking and aging. Happy smoking add music will be player over top. I will also you fast motion in reverse of the happy couples smoking to emphasize that what they're doing it wrong.
