In groups of 3, we were given the brief to create a montage based around a bus stop. The montage had to include a person missing their bus and the events following this, and it also had to be 1 minute long, but reflect the time period of 1 hour.

Special Effects - shrinking a person

Image
I watched this video to learn how to shrink a person as a special effect so I could make my own. In order to do this, I filmed the actor inside a rectangular cardboard box. I then filmed some footage of another cardboard box, wince was much smaller. In order to make this work, I the box had to also be rectangular so I could scale the size down. I then cropped the footage of the person in the larger box and layered it over the other footage of the smaller box.

Lesson Plan 2 - Narrative Theory

Image
The task was to deliver a lesson on the topic of 'Narrative Form' to the other film studies class in my year. We had to work with a peer, and create a PowerPoint presentation as part of the lesson, along with whatever else we wanted to do. For the lesson, we created a PowerPoint presentation. In order to do this, we researched 3 different narrative theorists, which were: Tzvetan Todorov, Vladimir Propp and Claude Levi-Strauss. We also then researched and added what their theories are. The task we decided to ask the class to do was an essay question - Apply narrative theory to a range of scenes from one of the following films: 'Singin' in the Rain', 'The Gold Rush' or 'E.T.'

Lesson Plan 1 - Sound In SITR and TGR

The task was to plan a lesson to deliver to my class. I had to plan the lesson with a peer on the topic of 'Sound in Singin' in the Rain' and The Gold Rush'. To do this, we made a PowerPoint presentation and asked them to also plan an answer to an exam-style question in this topic. When creating the PowerPoint, we researched various types of sound in films, such as diegetic, non-diegetic and foley. We then also applied these to SITR and TGR as a whole, and then to certain scenes. This helped with the planning task as it allows you to make refences to the film in specific detail. These are some examples of the slides from the PowerPoint:
