Vor ein paar Jahren hatte ich in meinem LK einen visuell sehr begabten Schüler, der nach der Schule dann auch auf die Münchner Filmhochschule gegangen ist. Im Rahmen einer Einheit zu Filmanalyse hatten wir uns vor allem mit Filmmontage beschäftigt, u.a. mit Ausschnitten aus Sergej Eisensteins Panzerkreuzer Potemkin und Orson Welles‘ Citizen Kane. Das Hauptaugenmerk lag deshalb auf Schnitt- bzw. Überblendetechnik. Freiwillig schrieb dieser Schüler ein kleines Drehbuch zu Shakespeares Sonnet 73.
Sonnet 73
That time of year thou may’st in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruined choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou see’st the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west;
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death’s second self, that seals up all in rest.
In me thou see’st the glowing of such fire,
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the death-bed whereon it must expire,
Consumed with that which it was nourished by.
This thou perceiv’st, which makes thy love more strong,
To love that well which thou must leave ere long.
Hier sein Skript:
Medium shot of an old man sitting in a worn-out armchair staring into a fire with tired, melancholy eyes. Cut to a detail shot of his eyes and the wrinkles round them. Cut to POV shot of the fire. Cut back to the face and dissolve from his wrinkles to a crumpled leaf. Camera zooms back to show a tree with bare branches and only a few leaves. Music from Antonio Vivaldi’s Autumn from The Four Seasons. The camera pans until it shows the silhouette of a ruined church against the background of a dim sunset. Light snow starts falling, music changes to Winter. Cut to the sunset and dissolve to a close-up of the flickering fire of the beginning. Cut to a detail shot of the old man’s eye which reflects the dying fire. Cut back to the fire in close-up. Cut back to the eye which reflects how the fire expires, shortly after the eye closes and the music fades out.
Alle Film-Fachbegriffe werden in meinem Skript Film Analysis erklärt. Analysen von Panzerkreuzer Potemkin und Citizen Kane finden sich z.B. in dem phantastischen Buch film – An Introduction.
