We learnt about narrative structure. We learnt key media phrases such as,
Equilibrium - The world is in a state of harmony.
Disequilibrium - A disturbance causing the harmony to stop and not go back.

Todorov - Equilibrium - Dantes day off.
- Disequilibrium - phone rings.
- New equilibrium - End of film.

Dante ---> Phone ---> Goes to work.
Linear narrative.

Genre leads to expectations.

This is a videos of different clips taken from the film Hostel. We chose this video as it is similar too the narrative of our film, we will use what we have learnt from the clip in our final piece.

research production meeting

we watched a program about film production on estream. then we formed the production company 'E.S.J productions'.
Ellen was assigned the position of director.
Sarah was assigned the position of producer/ camera woman.
Jenny was assigned the position of editor.
we've all decided to put our creative input into the writing.

Before deciding on our final coursework project we completed activities to help broaden our knowledge of production and film.
An example of this is:
- Analysed the openings of films such as; Wild at heart, This is England, Clerks, Natural Born Killers, Fast times.
- Practised Animatics. (Taking pictures)
- Storyboarding
- Script planning
- Film test shots
- Learnt how to use 'Live Type'
