Narrative Structure The Crazies 2010

 Narrative Structure The Crazies 2010 

Give two examples of events that cause later events in the film, but which occur before the film start. 

The government engineering the virus sending it to be destroyed and then the plane crashing and infecting the water supply. This causes the outbreak which is seen in the film. Characters eventually find out how all of this happened throughout the film from the government official for example, but the viewers learn more through the satellite for example. 

This scene from The Crazies when they found a big sunken plane in the swamp. Creeps me the hell out: submechanophobia 

 

List two events from the 92-minute film that happen in a different time and space to the one we are shown. 

The people who were deemed safe were torched by the government and later found by the main characters. Also, the government deciding to drop the bomb on the town because no one in the film knew this was going to happen maybe until the countdown.

Identify key plot point in the film that you associate with the three act-structure (Act 1=set-up/normality, Act 2 = Confrontation / disruption, Act = Resolution/ restoration of normality) 

I don’t think that this film follows a traditional Hollywood narrative because of the flash forward shown at the beginning but it does have three separate parts that align with normality disruption restoration. I think that everything leading up to the baseball game is normality when they discover that test results, the water supply being poisoned and the house fire is I think that is where the disruption starts then the restoration of normality doesn’t really happen for the people watching the film, but it does for the characters in the in the timeline of the film at the end. The viewers find out that the trouble is not over for the characters through the satellite shots, but the main characters don’t know this.

  Strength  This still image shows two different shadows of people standing next to each other. In the still image one shadow is taller than the other this could give the image an impression of strength as it gives one of the shadows a position of power.  Poverty  This image features an empty wallet that could give the image an impression of poverty as wallets are usually used to store money. I have also played with a low depth of field in this image to focus on the specific part of the wallet that usually holds the money to emphasise this part of the image. Love  In this image I have used a few elements to try and give the impression of love for example the love heart could be considered a symbol of love. I have also thought about what kind of surface to place the heart on for example the carpet could be considered warm and soft things that are also associated with love. Fear   In this image I have used a very common fear to represent fear. This image show...

Single Camera Essay

  Single Camera Essay   Introduction    This essay is all about the topic of single camera productions. I am going to talk about topics such as the camera, lighting, sound, editing and not just these. Also, how single camera productions tend to be used more in certain genres and formats and why this differs to multiple camera productions.   Camera   In a single camera production, each scene or take must be changed, so the actors cannot keep acting if the next take is of another person or subject or even if the camera changes its position, but it stays focused on the same person or object. T his means that each scene could have the position of the camera, lighting and audio equipment rearranged to suit the needs of that specific shot . These factors give the director so much creative control over the production. In single camera productions the directors tend to shoot the same scene over and over again from different angles from what I have already sai...

Primary Research Mental Health

  Primary Research Mental Health  I wanted to see if being in nature actually helped mental health to fact check for my documentary  so I asked random strangers if it did. I asked them a yes or no question that specifically states “Do you find that nature helps you mental health for example helps with stress?” I also asked these people at the location I chose to film. Which was in nature anyway so I think I was more likely to get a reliable response. Even if I did not get the results that I needed, I always had my own experiences to rely upon as this is a topic that I have looked into even before I started this documentary project. I asked 15 people and surprisingly to me 12 out of 15 people said yes it does I'm not sure whether they were completely true to their words but there's tons of other research conducted that also proves this point for example ( https://www.bbc.com/ownit/its-personal/nature-can-help-your-mental-health )
