STORY BOARD + PLACE - CLASSWORK

In our groups we try to find places where we it can be use for filming.


                   Here we have our story board ------>

PLACE

We walk around the school to find places that would fit with out film opening.

• Dinning hall stairs to go up to the Sixth Form

Took pictures from different angels to see how it would look like in the camera and plan how we should position the camera to get the angel we wanted.

"We are drawn to violent, secy ,negative imagery or experience to release pent up feelings of aggression"

DOLF 2ILLMAN
~Excitation - Transfer theory~
 By experiencing negative and scary imagery we intensely the positive feelings when the negative s removed.
We enjoy seeing evil vanquished - Relief/Pleasure.

FOR SCARY FILMS TO BE SCARY- THEY MUST:

GEN D. WALTERS

1. Tension & suspense - Narrative, use of micro - elements manipulation of information
2. Relevance (audience can relate) - They fear explored by the audience have to be relevant to the audience >>THEY HAVE TO BELIEVE<<
3. Unrealistic - We have to know it is not real - we have to feel safe

Children of men Opening part

CHILDREN OF MEN...We watch the opening of the films and come up with ideas for things below...
CHARACTERS

•  Youngest person  in the planet died
• Man with coffee [MAIN]

SETTING

• LOCATION - middle of London
• TIME - Morning/nearly mid day
• 16 Nov 2027

TONE

• Blue dominant
• Many fogs/gas around
• Dull/shabby/Grey

EQUILIBRIUM

• Buying coffee ---> BOMB = distribution ----> Girl/someone walk out from the explode building

OTHERS 

• When the man walks out of the cafe - bus pass by and on the side it said the word "ATTACK"
• use of high pitch [voices/sound]

NEWS - round up by the ARMY
FORESHADOWING - bus with words

LONDON - says about London...

1. Police presence
2. Military helicopter
3. Dangerous place
4. Street are dirty and unsafe/Disorganized/lack of control

For example: old care (Tuk tuk) => Asian influences/culture crisis/Globalization
NEW WORLD AFFAIRS - THINGS HAS GOT WORST ~ future extended
MAN - Doesn't care about the world/Alcoholic/add alcohol into the cut scene
>>Only one morning around in the opening/Following shot<<
