TASK and plan

• For this activity we had to get into groups and create a film scene based around the genre Sci-Fi.

• We had to firstly figure out how to adapt the existing story into something that was suitable for our genre.

• We came up with a having a girl as a main character who transforms into an alien.

• During her transformation, the chief of aliens controls her every move.

• When the pizza delivery guy came to the door, the girl dragged him in with absolute force and began eating him.

• This suited the sci-fi genre because this included the scientific convention of an alien possession.

• Our main character represents an average teenage girl because we can relate to her throughout the scenes.

• Her body language and facial expression is confused because she transforms into something she has never seen before.

• Her costume would be shorts and a t-shirt. The characters costume will represent an average teenage girls clothing because she is a teenage girl. It relates to a stereotype of most teenage girls because this is the typical clothes that teenage girls would wear.

• The setting is her bedroom. This setting connotes that like average teenagers, we would usually want to be in the privacy of our own room.

• We tried to reinforce the representations of the character because the audience would always expect the character to be something they're all represented as.
