Todorovs narrative

An equilibrium is at the start of a movie where everything is normal an happy.

Disruption is when something in the movie is happening and is going wrong.

Recognition of disruption is when the cast and characters realise the disruption.

Attempt to solve disruption is when the characters are trying to solve the disruption.

New equilibrium is when they solve the problem and everything is normally but not in the same way as the starting equilibruim.

The equilibrium this movie is when all the characters have lost and have been living for 5 years with only half the planet.

The disruption in this movie is when Thanos destroyed the infinty stones.

The recognition of disruption is when they kill Thanos in the start of the movie.

The attempt to  solve the disruption in this movie is when they go back in time to get the stones back.

The new equilibrium in the movie is when

Task One

Equilibrium for my movie is going to be about a man who is a vigilante out in the streets killing and beating up people who abuse and kill men ands women but is still a simply man with a family 

The disruption in this movie is when his past catches up with him as he is casually eating with his family as these sort of hitmen walk him as he is tie to his chair while his family is shot in the back of the head.

The recognition of the disruption in this is when the man realise he has to finish what he started.

the attempt to solve the problem is when this man has gone out to find and kill all the people involed with the killing of his family.

The new equilibrium is when the man realises he is stuck with this past and will never be able to live with what he has done

Setting and Colour

LO: To explore the use of setting and colour in films 

Setting

1. A rural house would be good in  horror movie to show loneliness and no era of safety of help.

2. A big city might be used to show the danger and destruction of a villain being there and this means the villain can cause havoc and destroy buildings and cars while hurting people.

3. A small seaside town might be used to show that there is no drama in the town showing a romantic feel with the seaside creating more of a romantic feel. 

4. A range of different countries could be used to show that the characters are on the run/running from something.

5. A science laboratory may be used to show where the main plot of the movie will take place .

Colour

1Blue and red is used because of the bright saturation showing so it can stand out from the rest a send a positive sign to the viewers.

2 A black costume for a  villain is used to show fear and mystery into the viewer.

3 Bright colours for comedy movies is used to show positive and happy felling into the viewer making it more of an enjoyable movie.

1The action takes place in big citys, in a country, a dark city with rain the dark city shows a sense of fear and a sense of danger, in the big city it is showing us how lonely it is and what it is that the have to fix and the country shows isolation from the rest of the characters. the use the field to show isolation and from the rest of the world and his job.

3 the settings change through out the characters talking and thinking back at the ld movies

4 the settings affect the characters like if the  are sad looking back at an old place or looking scared at a big new arrival.

 5 i could see where it was taking place because of the opening shots like the establishing shot.

 6 it could of taken in a different place because of a black and white font showing maybe a flash back.

7i can tell where it is taking place beaches of the future like tech.

8 i think certain colours are used to show different emotions like being sad and showing flashbacks.

9 some colours are used with  certain characters to show if they are good or bad characters or showing different emotion.

10 i think the colours are very important to show emotion and different type of characters.

11 it would of been more of a flashback type of movie like it was in the past. and would make emotional scenes less emotional like when the characters and comtaplating something round a table.

 I think i am legend is a action movie as he is holding a gun and with the glow shining around only him showing that he might be alone in the movie.

I also think 28 days later might be a dark gory movie with the red showing blood and the black showing mystery and fear showing it will be a horror movie 

i think indiana jones might be a action/adventure movie with the bright colours and variety of characters on the cover showing this movies is full with plot and story

i think this story would be set in a futuristic city witch is white blue and black colours as the scientist would be clean and wearing white while the villain will be all scuffing and wearing brown and black with the city also having a bad are of the town where all the people are snatched from wich is full of dark and brown colours with less future like tech and housing.

Sound in Film

LO: to explore the use of sound in film 

1. a scratchy type of music which is slow but getting higher and higher, you would hear some creaking doors and maybe dogs howling.

2. heroic music which is loud and triumphant. you could maybe hear a crowd cheer.

3. a mysterious type of music. you would hear a pen on paper something like that.

4. a loud joyful song.with a crowd laugh or someone characters in the film laugh.

5. a high tech sound with keyboards clicking.

Non diegetic: means what the characters in the film cant hear and is added after the movie in the effects studio or something like music.

Diegetic: its sounds like screaming or characters speaking in the movie which the characters can hear. 

diegetic and non diegetic sounds

non Diegetic sounds

 music, ringing music, flashbacks, explosions, singing, wind sounds,drums.

diegetic

characters speaking, pills dropping, book closing, glass breaking, gunshots, cars and motorbikes, clicking, punching sound.

Foley

 most to all of the sound in film is actually not from the set of the movie because the sounds in the studio do not sound natural with the dialogue so they have to cut it out and the foley artist have to get many many different materials and make  the sounds natural like with all cgi scenes they have to make footsteps snow and ice crunching or when someone hits some person in the face or body they may use meat and a hammer to make the sound and fit it to the movie.

gunshots, characters talking, door opening, clicking his fingers, cardboard box being put down, blinds being lifted, telephone ringing, footsteps, dog barking, box opening, dog walking, banging into the cupboard, kicking the ball, expressional noises, the dog breathing.

1. yes there is dramatic movie. 

2. it makes u feel excite to watch the movie.

3. when the action kicks in. 

4.the action kicks in and they start fighting. 

5.  yes when there is dialogue there is silence. 

6. there mostly the silence scenes except when they jump of a building.

7. yes the characters speak and they sound formal.

8. i would speak in a dark voice / tone. 

9. yes you can hear glass breaking, gunshots, characters speaking, and footsteps.

1. i would use scratchy and dramatic music slowly going up through the tension of the movie and i would smash plates and equipment to make the sounds using a kinda screaming screeching noise for the monster screaming and computers and heart beats going off.

4.the lighting could show the bright blue lab with futuristic tech or when it goes wrong the lights will go out with a dark scary mysterious feel.

5. the positioning of the characters could be how they are surrounding the monster a doing test on it

clip one: a tv, a voice,  footsteps, a sigh, toilet flushing, closing a door or fridge, a spoon tapping, spreading butter, crunching from getting of the sofa, teeth cleaning, unzipping. closing the mirror, sliding milk back into the fridge.

the sounds we filmed sounded quite good with the tap or water noise being quite good but wish we could redo the footsteps.

1. in my disaster is another world war ww3 with bombs going of all over the country as one man named kyle crane is trying going around the city leading people to safety and putting his life in danger and he is doing this before a overall large nuke will destroy the city of London.

2. it is set in a dying dull world as everyone is hooked with technology as they dont even know what is going on around them. with no wild life as it has all be runied with no animals with trees all chopped down for the creation for human life

3.the mod of characters in this movie is dull boring and repetitive as crane sees this as a chance to revive his life later finding out it is the demise of his life.

4. i thin the movie should be shot in a large wide angle with dark dusty lighting and shots fitting with the ruble of the bombs and citys using a steady cam footage also being and held with a  angle
