1) Elliot is on his way to work, it is his birthday. When he does arrive at work they have all thrown him a party. This creates panic for Elliot as all the attention create him to create an excuse ( to go toilet) then he exits the party. His panic causes him to want drugs. Yet when he calls his dealers number there is no answer. This is when he runs to her house where he sees crowds of police and ambulances. All this panic causes Elliot to collapse.
2) He wakes in hospital with no knowledge of how. When he awakes his bed is surrounded by members of E corps. Who give him a decision between going with them or being taken away by the police, this is when he is presented of numerous photos of him taking drugs from the now dead drug dealer. This is when he goes with the E corps members who force him to hack into the mr robot association and tell them where they work.
3) He hacks into Angela's boyfriends phone and finds messages between him and the members of E-corps about how he's going to leak information about the compony he works for and how he's only with Angela for that purpose only. When Elliot confronts Angela and her boyfriend about this at there house he then calls Eliot delusional and says the only reason he's doing it is because he likes Angela, she doesn't believe Elliot, labels him as a bad friend and how she never wants to see him again.
A character arc is the transformation or inner journey of a character over the course of a story. If a story has a character arc, the character begins as one sort of person and gradually transforms into a different sort of person in response to changing developments in the story.
Arc for my character:
My character begins as a small time robber, with a difficult personal life. Due to these experiences such as him going in to prison and also seeing the struggle of his younger brother it adapts him and transforms him into a different character. At the start he values money and himself.
This creates him to have an inner conflict with himself to have a stronger mentality and be stronger for his younger brother.
Therefore his end goal is to get him and his brother away and therefore turns him into a violent and persistent person where he will not stop at anything to reach his goal. At the end we see him value his family over money and himself.
Appearance: Medium hight, usually wears tracksuits and has his hood up.
Strengths: Street wise.
Acts very grown up.
Makes his own money.
Quick at running.
Stealing.
weakness: His younger brother.
Abusive parents.
People after him because he steals.
Hates school.
shy, only socialises with his friends.
Doesn't show his emotion.
What do they want: For him and his younger brother to leave there town and look for a new life elsewhere also he wants to make loads of money before he leaves to live off with his bother.
Different scenarios:
1) The start of the story will begin with with an extreme long shot and land scape views of London. Then it would show various short clips accumpnied with fast music of groups of hooded males exchanging money and backpacks to represent what our main characters all about making money illegally on the streets. Then will begin with the main character wakeing his 8 year old brother up and a pov shot of his mum asleep (to represent he has to be a father figure to his brother) then he walks his brother to school they talk together about a dream to run away then he promises he will run away to his brother ( this is where we get our first goal and what our character wants). After it will show him walking down the road and seeing an unchained bike a couple of meters away from a gang of men, then he casually walks over then steals the bike and rides off. He is then persuid by the gang. After the main character ditches the bike and takes a bag which was on the bike and runs off, he is continued to be chased by the group. As an audience u witness a pov shot of him running through woodlend when he trips an then is pinched by one of the males in pursuit which is followed by a blackout.
2) Another scenario is he awakes in a grubby flat tied to a chair surrounded by men who look 20 to 25 the camera will show extreme close ups of the characters faces to represent there expressions. This is where we meet our main protagonist. Who is very similar to the main character as they both come from the same block of flats and have the same goal to make money. To his amazement (as he knows the man well and has the knowledge that he's the main drug dealer and most dangerous men in the area) he panics and apologies also realising the man knows his family, which is responded by laughter from the men. This is where he get our fist decision for the character, to carry out a dangerous job for them or as the protagonist knows his family he says his brother will get hurt which is the main weakness of the main character as a result he is left with no choice but to undergo this dangerous job.
I want to include a number of birds eye view shots of London to get across to the audience how small this character is in such a huge city, its also to show the enormity of the challenge for him to get out of his area.
3) Following this dangerous mission someone is stabbed and our main character is framed for the stabbing by this gang he is working for I want to show close ups of lips saying his name by the men he worked for. I want to follow his journey in prison with quick and short clips along with fast flowing rap music to show his whole time behind bars including scenes of him doing exercise and meeting new people. Eventually he meets two men and they produce a plan so when they leave prison, he will once again rob the men that framed him but for huge sums of money that he knows the protagonist has locked in a safe in his apartment. We then see him coming out of prison and we get a pov shot of him staring at his brother from a distance being shouted at by his mum outside the school gates and his brothers face being marked with bruises. Following the earlier knowledge that his mum is not capable to wake up her son we now get a picture after this scene that she is not fit to be a mother. Then we get faced with a flashback of him saying to his brother at the start how he promised they were going to run away. This is then met by a black screen then motivational music of him and these three men applying masks to there faces and putting guns in there pockets stood around a car on a high top building in London. This indicates that the mission is about to take place.
4) For the last scene after he's completed the stealing of the money I want him to take his mask off and show his face to the protagonist in slow motion and there to be a close up of his face with the same music that played when he was in prison to show how far he has come. This will represent they both wanted the same thing money but the non sterio typical hero comes out on top. For the last moments of the story I want to show him kicking down his front door and taking his brother, this final part of the series will then be him and his brother together on a coach heading to a new future then the final zoom out shot and the final birds eye view of London with once again the same music.
Today we explored making a non diegetic sounds that could be introduced into a movie and still pictures to create an effect. As well as that I have created a story board including a backing piece of music that fits the scene:
The clips make up a scene of a man running from a group of people, I have created sounds to build up the suspense as he runs representing a pov shot of him running through the woods. The character falls and is then caught and punched by the people pursuing him. Then the music slows down as he has a black out which builds suspense for what is to come next after he has been punched. The watcher is nervous as to where the character will wake up.
Sound whose source is visible on the screen or whose source is implied to be present by the action of the film:
voices of characters
sounds made by objects in the story
music represented as coming from instruments in the story space ( = source music)
Diegetic sound is any sound presented as originated from source within the film's world
Digetic sound can be either on screen or off screen depending on whatever its source is within the frame or outside the frame.
Another term for diegetic sound is actual sound
Diegesis is a Greek word for "recounted story" The film's diegesis is the total world of the story action
Non-diegetic sound
Sound whose source is neither visible on the screen nor has been implied to be present in the action:
narrator's commentary
sound effects which is added for the dramatic effect
mood music
Non-diegeticsound is represented as coming from the a source outside story space.
The distinction between diegetic or non-diegetic sound depends on our understanding of the conventions of film viewing and listening. We know of that certain sounds are represented as coming from the story world, while others are represented as coming from outside the space of the story events. A play with diegetic and non-diegetic conventions can be used to create ambiguity (horror), or to surprise the audience (comedy).
Another term for non-diegetic sound is commentary sound.
These are different examples of some of the camera movements used in film:
Pan shot
This is an example of a pan shot it shows a full 360 shot of the setting.The camera horizontally so that it sweeps around the scene. It can also be tilted up or down in a vertical panning shot or in a diagonal pan, as when it follows an actor up a stairway.
Zoom shot
This here is an example of a zoom shot as it zooms in on the characters face from a distance to show his shocked expression.
Crane shot
This is an example of a crane shot to show an above ground level shot of the setting. A shot taken by a camera on a crane. The most obvious uses are to view the actors from above or to move up and away from them, a common way of ending a movie. Camera cranes go back to the dawn of movie-making, and were frequently used in silent films to enhance the epic nature of large sets and massive crowds.
Track/dolly shot
A tracking shot is any shot where the camera moves alongside the objects it is recording. In cinematography, the term refers to a shot in which the camera is mounted on a camera dolly that is then placed on rails – like a railroad track. The camera is then pushed along the track while the image is being filmed. This example represents the confusion and panic in the scene as i represents the whole setting.
Tilt shot
The camera moves up and down from a fixed axis to give a different dimension to the setting.
Minute 1:09 :They use a very long shot and an over shoulder shot to represent the shock and amazement of the main characters at what they are witnessing.
Minute 1:46 :They show various and many extreme close ups of the main characters faces. This represents the various expressions presented by the characters.
Minute 2:54 :It shows a medium close up of the various horses legs as they gallop. This can represent the speeding up of the battle as both armies run at each other. This speeding up of the scene engages the watcher as they await the climax for when they both clash.
Another example of using similar camera shots could be:
After 36 seconds of the clip we see a medium shot like in 300 it is done to capture the different emotions towards the situation by the various characters in the scene.
