Narrative
Opening Sequence Structure Continued..
Since we made the video we decided we wanted to add more onto our opening sequence to make it more interesting. We are going to add them getting ready for the party. The two girls get ready in Flo’s room and Harry and Oscar get ready in the spare room. When the boys go back downstairs they have to wait for another hour before the girls are finished and it will show them getting really bored and moving about a lot. When they eventually come down, Oscar gets angry at them for taking too long but Harry just cant take his eyes of Flo.
From the questionnaire we know:
The top answer to what age the characters are and how they will act with each other
Flo’s house is located in Leicester, Quorn Our main protagonist is very out-going
and confident around his friends We are having mainly dialogue with a
short amount of voice over (said by the main protagonist)
The ideologies of the narrative are don’t let love change the friendship you had
with someone, stay true to yourself and put what is most important first.
Ideologies
Representations
Representations within our film are mainly representations of friendship and masculinity. The male protagonist, Harry, is desirable to females or complicit in making himself desirable when Harry tries to change for Flo. He represents a masculine features e.g. smooth features, designer fashion wear, a caring and gentle approach and is concern for appearance. By the end, he gains control over himself and goes back to the old him where he doesn’t care as much and is more chilled around Flo like he was then they were just best friends but now love is added in.
HOWEVER…with using the narrative, he still ends the film with being with Flo. This could then be argued he is still part of a traditional hegemonic narrative which is more about enforcing the need for a relationship; the slightly more sophisticated challenge to dominate ideology is that the man is seen to be the ‘princess’ in need.
MUSIC AND DIALOGUE
DIALOGUE
The dialogue in our opening scene allows us to start to develop the narrative of the film and to introduce the characteristics of all four of the best friends, especially Harry. As well as diegetic dialogue, there will be a voice over to our opening sequence to introduce the characters from Harry’s point of view as our USP is that the main protagonist is a male.
The dialogue will be spoken by all four friends. In the opening sequence, its introducing the friends and the way they are together, all characters will
speak so the audience can get a view of the different personalities the
characters hold.
Music
We are planning on having a soundtrack to our film containing a cover of a well known song called ‘Better Together’ by Jack Johnson. We have got a producer to rearranging the song, considering that our film is independently produced, the use of a small, independent artist suits our type of production rather than using a large, mainstream artist.
SHOTS AND EDITS
SHOT TYPE
Within our production, there will be a variation of shot types ranging from long shots, to medium to close ups. For example, the first shot of our opening sequence will be a establishing shot of Harry and Oscar skate boarding down the road. This shot will set the scene of the production and it applies the VAL type: Maker, as he works in a bar and earns his own income to go to UNI.
Edits
Throughout our opening sequence, we will use mainly cuts and quick cuts to create a fast living life style in the film. WE will use fade in/fade outs and create a split screen effect when Harry messages Flo that he is nearly at his house.
