Post 1- Opening task introduced

-
Out of our 6 questions, as a group we decided our favourites were ‘Who made humpty dumpty an egg?’ and ‘The Meatloaf song; what is ‘that’?’ We liked these two questions because they are both equally confusing and make minds work in order to figure out an adequate response.
We’ve chosen ‘Who made humpty dumpty an egg?’ as our question as we think we would be able to present the ideas around it easier in our documentary than the Meatloaf question; everyone knows humpty dumpty, the nursery rhyme is much more commonly known than the meatloaf song, therefore we think it will be more popular and it will reflect more comedy in our filming. Also, this idea seemed quite unique in comparison to our other ones which we were given; we think this question will ultimately be more successful.
Our documentary is intended to be comical and educational. Our documentary will include 6 main characters; Aston (the voiceover), Ellie (the interviewer), and Catherine, Louie, Elsa and Olivia - our recipients. The four roles are; one confused student, one professor, one angry student and one incorrect student. The contrast of characters will add to the comedy of the documentary and overall make it more interesting. We will film our documentary in the school grounds which is comfortable for the characters in question and means they are more likely to act more natural and not forced as they are surrounded by people they know.

This is the logo that what designed for Star Productions: After discovering that it was taken, we chose a different name and settled with "Project Illusion". This is the current logo for our production company: The reason for this design is based upon the "Illusion" part of our name, with the triangle being the "Infinity Triangle", a common optical illusion.

Ferris Bueller’s day off- Car crash scene In Ferris Bueller’s day off Ferris manages to convince his best friend Cameron to take his father’s Lamborghini out, his most prized possession and one of only one hundred and twenty models made. The skiving teenagers manage to keep it safe and pristine all day however they unintentionally build up over 3000 miles on it which Cameron was sure his father would notice. After Ferris came up with what he thought an immaculate idea, the three teenagers started to run the vehicle backwards in hope that the miles would come off. Unfortunately, this did it not turn out as successful as Ferris would have hoped. Leading to Cameron furiously talking about this father and how he pushes him around.   The character movement in this scene is very significant. Ferris’s best friend Cameron starts violently vandalising his father’s Lamborghini as he has decided that he needs to stand up for himself against his father. He starts his violent episode by fina

Post 40- Analysing the micro elements in a scene from 'The 400 Blows'

Mise-en-scene: Costume: In this scene from 'The 400 Blows,' Antoine Doinel is wearing a black coat, black trousers and a white shirt.  At the beginning of the scene, he is playing football at school, where all of the other boys are wearing a black coat, black trousers and a white shirt, showing how this may be their uniform when they are playing football.  By having all the characters in this scene wearing the same clothing it represents how Antoine belongs to something, yet as he is running away signifies how he wants to break away from it, perhaps as he wants to be his own person and break away from the connotations with being a young person as throughout the rest of the film he is labelled as a 'no good' boy who sets out to cause trouble.  Makeup: Neutral makeup is worn in this scene.  Props: In this scene, there are numerous road signs as Antoine is running away, perhaps being a representation of him getting further and further away.  As we
