Sketches of how you envisage these settings to look


Images and google maps screen grabs of potential settings that can work and reasons why



When we were researching into setting ideas, we felt the idea of bewilder woods treehouses would be a perfect fit for our ideas for the Beavers Lodge. We feel the surroundings would be suitable for those like in Narnia. However after contacting them we were unable to use this at the time we needed to.

Final choices of what settings you are using and reasons why

We finally decided that we would use a summer house in one of our group members gardens. We decorated the interior to how we felt best fitted the beavers house. We had log piles, warm lighting, two candles, rugs, miss matching chairs and table, old vintage books and a "family" hand painted portrait of the beavers in the house. We also used a location behind the school for the forest section. However after we filmed our script, we had a snow fall so we also took separate clips to add in, these clips were taken around the school site.

Setting and Lighting The setting within the image shows a city, perhaps New York City. With people surrounding the man in the red coat.  The lighting in the image shows low saturation, perhaps it is the evening time and so the sun is setting or the light is used to reflect how the character is feeling. By having the lighting on a low saturated level, it implies sadness, or anxiety and by the image showing a city it could imply that the city is causing the man his problems. A different point of view could be that the city is introducing the character as different people act in different ways depending on where they come from. For example, if the man was walking through the countryside it could imply that he is lonely and has a quiet life, but by having him walk through a city it could portray the idea that he has a busy schedule and by looking at his body language it could imply that he is not happy with where he is.

In the script for Narnia, these are our list of characters: Mr Beaver Mr Beaver is a comical character, however he also plays a crucial role in telling the Pevensie children that they play a crucial role in killing the Ice Queen and that Aslan is waiting for them. He seems to be the eyes and the ears of Narnia although no one expects it. Mr Tumnus and Mr Beaver seem to be close aquanitances as he gave Mr beaver the handerchief before he got taken.  Mrs Beaver Mrs Beaver is also a comical character. She plays a 'typical' 'old fashioned' female as when the children arrive she tells them that she hasnt had time to do her fur, and to "excuse the mess" as if it is her job to tidy the house. She is also the one to tell the children that they are the two sons of Adam and the two daughters of Eve.  Lucy Pevensie  Lucy Pevensie is the youngest out of the children. She was also the first to enter Narnia although that isnt the scene in which we are focu...

This is our script that we were given on The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. As soon as we were given this, we started off by reading the script through and brainstorming any ideas in which we might have to make this short film come together. We then started thinking about allocating roles to each other within the film studies team. They are as follows: *Director - Joe Lee* Joe decided to be director as: 1. It is one of his ambitions in later life 2. He is a good team leader 3. He likes to keep everyone in control *Co-director - Lauren Webb* 1. For a second opinion 2. To ensure everything runs smoothly. *Producer(s) - Lucy Foreman and Keri Kennett* Lucy and Keri decided to be the producers as: 1. They thought it would be efficient to have a joint effort to ensure everything gets done in the set time given. 2. To make sure everything is presented to the highest quality possible. *Film Crew - Ellie Wigney and Emily New* Emily and I ...
