Post 28 Working from a script - 9 - Directing your actors

-

When talking to the editor on how we want the final piece to look, we came up with a few ideas. Firstly, because when we were filming Narnia it wasn't snowing, we want to have a mist effect on the final film to give the impression that it was snowing, or had been. Also, the transition between the children meeting the beaver in the woods and then going back to his house would be a fade to show that time had passed and we had been walking for a long amount of time.

The whole process was very time consuming however everything ran smoothly and we are sure that the final outcome will be just as successful as we picture in our minds. Here are some pictures and screen grabs showing the whole process including the final storyboard, communication with actors and class mates and pictures of the director directing the actors.

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".

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.

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
