The sea is calm tonight.

The tide is full, the moon lies fair

Upon the straits; on the French coast the light

Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand,

Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay.

Come to the window, sweet is the night-air!

Only, from the long line of spray

Where the sea meets the moon-blanched land,

Listen! you hear the grating roar

Of pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling,

At their return, up the high strand,

Begin, and cease, and then again begin,

With tremulous cadence slow, and bring

The eternal note of sadness in.

Sophocles long ago

Heard it on the Ægean, and it brought

Into his mind the turbid ebb and flow

Of human misery; we

Find also in the sound a thought,

Hearing it by this distant northern sea.

The Sea of Faith

Was once, too, at the full, and round earth’s shore

Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled.

But now I only hear

Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar,

Retreating, to the breath

Of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear

And naked shingles of the world.

Ah, love, let us be true

To one another! for the world, which seems

To lie before us like a land of dreams,

So various, so beautiful, so new,

Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,

Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;

And we are here as on a darkling plain

Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,

Where ignorant armies clash by night.

Title: Change Of Times

This micro film is based on the absurdly forward thinking poem, Dover Beach by Matthew Arnold(1867). The film is an adaptation/answer to the poem. It is our idea of what we took away from the poem, but also answering the poem as it was almost a prediction to the future or what Matthew thought the future would look like..

Synopsis:

In the tranquil setting of a serene hillside/clifftop, we meet a man (Character 1) and his loyal friend (Character 2), both engrossed in prayer and scripture from the Bible. As the sun marches across the sky and the ocean erodes the beach and cliff side, time unfurls its relentless march, and we witness a gradual change in their dynamic. Character 1 remains steadfast in his devotion, while Character 2s presence begins to wane, marked by dwindling prayers and fading interest in the holy text.

Cut to a later scene, where the once vibrant campfire now struggles to ignite, lacking the usual kindling. It is Character 2 who brazenly suggests sacrificing the Bible for fuel, a notion that initially unsettles Character 1. However, under the persistent nudging of his friend, Character 1 reluctantly consents, and the flames eagerly consume the sacred pages.

In the poignant climax, we find Character 1 kneeling before a Christian stone monument on the top of the cliff, his soul heavy with remorse for the sacrilege committed. Meanwhile, Character 2 observes from a distance, on the beach that overlooks the cliff, seated by the dwindling campfire, the flames now fueled by the very essence of their faith. As Character 1 seeks redemption through prayer, his friend silently bears witness to the profound consequences of their actions, surrounded by the flickering glow of the burning Bible.

"Change Of Times" is a poignant exploration of friendship, faith, and the poet's vision of how times may change humanity, just as the ocean changes landscapes.

(No holy texts will be burned in the making of this film)

In this film we wanted to bring out the ideas shown in the “Dover beach” poem, through artistic imagery, symmetrical and unique shot types. The poem is a sort of thought process expressed through poetry. To put our own spin on the idea we turn the thought process into a relationship between two friends. We believe this helps bring the thoughts to life through the characters' relationship as well as artistic imagery. The poem is about change and matches the change in humanity with change in the land, for example the erosion of Dover beach, so we have a lot of similar imagery to do with coastal areas and erosion. Within this world we create the tone of religious beliefs and existentialism which was a main focus and conflict within the poet which he expressed in “Dover beach”. The whole idea is of a friend who is religious and a friend who falls out of their faith and in the end they both conflict and lose one another to their changing ideals. We use nature to showcase isolation. We want to use an unexpected turn in the story to contrast with the calm seas that have the power for destruction. The film shows the ideas of realism vs façade within the poem, how everything seems fine but that can change. the truth lies underneath and will one day have to surface. This will be shown through the characters relationship and abrupt end to it.

When picking the camera for this film, we chose my own personal camera, the LUMIX GH5s. There are many pros and cons for using this vs the more popular choice, the SONY FS7. As the gh5s is my own camera, I've had much more time using it and felt I'd make better work of the equipment rather than something I hadn't used as often. For practical reasons, the GH5s is much easier to carry with us as wed be walking up a large cliff, heavy equipment would slow us down. The GH5s is also great at low light recording which is perfect as we have a lot of evening shoots. The GH5s meant quicker turn over time as well. Other than that I felt using this camera would also help for this film to stand out as I don't think anyone else in the module would be using this camera, so our film would take a unique look comparing to others. I'd say the biggest con to this camera and the only reason id rather use the FS7 for is that the GH5s does not have built in ND filters. For long feature films I wouldn't suggest using the GH5s but for smaller, more artist pieces of work I think the GH5s is near perfect.

For our first meeting, we went through the poems we could choose, and we decided on Dover Beach (Matthew Arnold). The main reason for us choosing this poem is its beach setting, which reminded Stephen of Compton Bay, a place he visits back home on the Isle of Wight, which we realised would be a beautiful place to shoot the poem. After we finalised the decision, we did research on the poem, and we discovered it contains themes of faith and religion. With this further knowledge, Stephen realised there was another location we could use close to Compton Bay, which was Tennyson Down, which is a beautiful cliff on the west side of the island. Atop this cliff was also an amazing monument to Lord Tennyson, a cross, which we could use as a location for the poem.

We Brainstormed initial ideas

A man is enchanted by his phone as he walks past a Massive Cross Monument on a hill.

Another Man Sat on the hill reading His bible/ writing said Poem.

The Waves Smashing into a rock. Symbolising the battle between science and religion.

Cliff is also slowly being eroded.

Faithful man walks up the hill to the cross walking past Tourists on their phones.

on the beach people have a campfire that can't light the fire using the bible as kindling. Contrasting them is a man sat on the cliff reading the bible.

People find the bible and use it as Kindling

From these Ideas we created a short story to use as our initial idea for our film

Perched on a hill, a man and his close friend read and pray from the Bible. As time passes, the man and his friend still pray and visit the hill. Gradually, over time, the friend stops coming with the man as his faith is weak and begins to dwindle. One day, the duo sits by the beach and lights a campfire, but they are missing Kindling. Now, due to his lack of faith and a newfound hatred for God, Friend goes to burn his bible in the flames. The man stops him in his tracks and pushes him away, stopping the burning. Now parting ways, the man climbs the hill to pray, whereas the friend sits by the flames, watching almost as if he were engulfed.
