equilibrium-normal life

Disruption-something happens that disturbs normal life

Recognition of disruption-people realise something bad has happened

Attempt to solve disruption-people try to save the world 

New equilibrium- they save the world and it goes back to normal 

Venom:Let there be carnage

Equilibrium- Venom and Eddie live a normal life

Disruption-Cletus Kasady bites Eddie and carnage is put in him

Task-one

equilibrium-life is normal (real life)

disruption- multiple meteors hit earth

Recognition of disruption-4 friends come out of isolation to find all other humans dead

attempt of disruption-they rebuild shops and stuff to survive and create robots to help them

new equilibrium-life is normal again but with robots

Lesson 5 setting and colour 
LO: to explore the use of setting and colour in films.
Setting
an isolated house might be good for a horror film because its lonely and if you get attacked noone could help because its a rural setting
2]a big city might be good for an action film because there lots of people that might need help but it could also lead confusion for the helper because its really big
3]a small seaside might be good for a romantic comedy because small places are nice because the are less people to disturb you
4] a range of different countries would be good for action adventure movie because there is going to be different type of people and soundings.
5]a large modern science laboratory would be good for a science fiction film because they both link with each other.
colour
1]Blue and red would be good for a new superhero because there are all ready linked with hero's all ready
2]A black suit for would be good for a villain because it will blend in with shadows which add's mystery.
3]Bright colours is good for a comedy film because bright colours are associated with with positivity.
1] the action is taken at dessert,space,museum,house garden,city,asgard,field,house,explosion field
2] its set in particular place because it shows whats happening at a serten time
3]the setting changes when a new scene is introduced because a importent thing is about to happen 
4]the setting effects the emotions and the behave because it makes them feel upset
5]you can tell where its tacken place because of the setting.
6]the story could if happened in a different but only serten scene for example the scene when everyone was disindergrating could of happened anywhere.
7]the story is tacken place in a city, countryside because of the technology.
8]you can tell that the story is set in the future because of the advanced technology



I am Legend
the gun on his back shows that the film is a action,adventure
28 Days Later
the red background show the film could be horror
Raiders of the lost ark
the type of yellow is like sand so a dessert adventure film.


i would have the hero in a white lab coat with explosion balls that makes the enemy go to sleep
i would put the villain in a black lab coat with a nuclear weapon that can wipe out all of humanity. they would both live in a laboratory but the hero would have an advanced one and the villain would have one a sewer. the lab would be in a science fiction because that what scientists work in also its set in the future you can tell because there are teleportation  devices and there are flying cars.

Diegetic
people talking
clicking
gun shots
cat
click
glass smashing
motobike
cars


non-diegetic
music
ding
explosion
guitar
drum

Foley

every noise created could most likely be foley e.g. footsteps,capes in the wind and kissing

gun shots door,creaking,clicking,door shouting,talking,footsteps,dog barking,kick,tumble banging into cardboard, ball hiting the ground.

Lights!Camera!Action!

LO:To experiment with foley and  sound effects.




The setting and props show they are in a rich place for historical times.

The costume hair and make-up make the guy in the middle a prisoner.

Facial expressions and body language make the guards look serious and the pirate annoyed.


Lighting and colour is low key which shows it could be serious.


positioning of objects makes it look like a important scene is going on.

Creative Task


1)setting-  dissection table, tech materialsls, robots, chemicals, acids, something like Jarvis from ironman, protective room.

2)costume hair and make-up-white cloaks, hazard suit , green colours for the alien.

3)facial expressions- focused face


4)lighting and colour-it will have high key lighting to examen the alien.

5)position of objects- the men will be standing up whilst doing surgery on the alien.

clip 1

dialogue and breathing,music,crunch of toast, spoon hitting mug, toothbrush, milk being poured,toilet slushing,mirror,door,putting the remote down, milk going into fridge.


this did not work very well because there were not a lot of background noise so only a few that worked.One that worked well was footsteps.One that didn't work well was water dripping.
