Storyboard

This is the storyboard to our film, in the storyboard, it shows what the characters roughly look like, the shots we would like to use, the amount of time taken on the shots, and the edits we would like to use.

Film Noir Posters

This Poster is from the film 'The Blue Dahlia'. In this poster you can tell who the main character is and the protagonist is, it would have to be man in the middle, because he is the centre of attention and has the biggest proportion on the poster. You can also tell who the antagonist is, because of the man with the gun in the background and the negative expression, also he is in the shadows, which is a codes and conventions of being an evil character. The female character on the left looks to be the distractor of the film.

 In this poster, the female character in this film called 'Laura' is the dominant character, you know this because the film is her name, so she has to be of significance. Also the fact that there are two male characters looking at her, this could mean that she is a hard to get character. Also the fact the she is wearing red signifies sexual or love. The man looking down onto Laura would be another protagonist because he shows no sign of being a bad guy, and he has light on his face, and you wouldn't put too much light on a bad guy. The guy on the right with the gun is obviously the antagonist in the film because he also has a lot of shadowing on him.

Main Character

Marilyn Winters is the name of our main character in our short film. It will be played by Kirsty Rice. She is the murderer in our film, but it is unexpected because you are made to believe that she hasn't done anything and proven innocent by our detective whilst he interogates her. Throughout the short film, Marilyn will be wearing a black dress, which symbolises that she could be a bad person

Font Idea's

These are our font ideas. We chose the italic idea because it looks more feminine, and therefore more relivant to the film. The other idea looks like type writer text, this is also appropiate as well because computers were not invented in the later 40's/early 50's. Also, it is very common in Film Noir films to use type writers on screen to show

- Time

- Date

- Location

We have decided to go for the top left font because this font looks feminine and elegant, which is appealing and appropiate because the main character in our film 'Marilyn' is meant to be both feminine and elegant.

Lesson

In this lesson, we filmed our pitch which is around about 5 minutes long. We have thought about everything in our film. E.g. Distribution, production company, slogan, film text and more. Now that we have finished off our script and story board, we should be ready to start filming whenever, all we would need are costumes, props and of course the actors.

Problems With Theories

The public and religious groups are blaming manson for the columbine massacre.

His response is -
. Poster boy for fear (everyone is scared of him)
. President bombings/ foreign policy (no one blames someone like the president)
. People don't listen
. Conforming

'Keep everyone afraid and they'll consume'
