For our Antigone movie, we chose the scene where Antigone is trying to persuade Ismene to bury their brother, Polynices. Antigone says that it is wrong that Creon made a law that Polynices should not be provided a proper burial, and that they should give him a burial even if it means death. Ismene, though, disagrees and refuses to go. We all agreed that this is one of the most significant scenes because it is the scene where fate could have been changed. If Ismene had stopped Antigone from burying Polynices, then none of this tragedy would have occurred. On the other hand, if Antigone had been successful in persuading Ismene to help her, then a more hideous, tragic end could have awaited them.
To be honest, there was not much meaning in why we chose the particular background music in our video. We just chose it because it fit much more with the contents then other soundtracks such as “funky guitar” or “metal rock.” Also, we made the camera angles auto, so I can’t say much about that. The actions of the characters, though, did have a meaning. For example, we made Ismene show a sad expression for a whole lot of the movie to show her worried feelings towards Antigone. Though I disliked how the characters talked so monotonously and how they couldn’t pronounce a few words like “Ismene,” I enjoyed how we were actually making a movie of our own and how we could make them talk and act in any way we wanted. Overall, I enjoyed doing this project.
