Ms.H set us the task of presenting a noir story in anyway we wished. However the noir story was pieced together by random bits of information that individual classmates decided on. Our story is called Biggest Shadow and makes close to no sense. It's great. Me and Freya plan to show it off in our next lesson.
Also, regarding my group work with Fabian and Wil I've started bullet pointing the script to get a vague idea together. I've bullet pointed the first minute, and here is what I have so far.
- Starts in a forest in black and white, gradually breathing appears in the background and appears until noted
- Lumberjack walking through the forest
- He stops, and readies a cigarette
- Behind him we can see Red Riding Hood, who isn't it black and white.
- Lumberjack smokes his cigarette, and the breathing stops once he turns around and sees Red.
- Turning back to the tree in front of him, he readies a log to be cut
- As he throws the axe down, just before the wood the camera cuts to the next scene.
- Hear the axe hit a person. (We're thinking hitting a watermelon with an axe and adding post production, as watermelon are frequently used to recreate the sounds a human head would create.) Low angle of the Lumberjack with the axe centralised in front of the camera, blood covers the lumberjack with and colour has returned. The breathing has returned and is much faster and heavier.
- Cuts to the Lumberjack laying in his bed, the heavy breathing continuing.
- Cut to title.
I don't feel like I am completely doing justice to the idea in my head with the bullet points above, so I will be making a storyboard and going to actually write the script. Once these are done I will upload them to this blog for proof.
And that is pretty much all I have done this week.
