Something that's appeared in film recently that is relevant to our project is the film 'Frank'. It looks really good and I'm interested to see it. I'm very interested in how it was to work with the head piece, as with our production, the box head became a little uncomfortable for Ryan to wear over the course of three days. By the looks of the trailer, the head creates an endearing character, even if slightly creepy sometimes. It's interesting to see a film that covers the face of it's star, and how that can still be successful and work well, illustrating that performance and story are key to selling something.
"It's pretty comfortable now. I'm used to it," explains Fassbender during a break. He has taken the head off and it really is him beneath it. "It was kind of weird in the beginning, the way it sits on your head. You feel a little bit vulnerable because you've not much peripheral vision. You can only see straight in front of you. You can't hear that well either. But it's quite liberating as well, in the way that masks are. It's amazing how many emotions that face manages to convey. It can look vulnerable, it can look sinister, at times it looks confused."
