Representation

1) Will Smith is being represented in a lost, baron world which has had some sort of devistation in the country that they live in. It leaves the audience.
2) It is being represented at the start as there is no one there with car been burnt down and scaffolding everywhere. Grass and weed growing everywhere which means it has not been looked after. Just Will and his Dog.
3) This film opening seems natural as the setting looks like a normal rural town/city centre with lots if shops and a lot of cars parked in the road. A man and his dog just seems true and it like a single man living with his companion which is his dog. 

4) A stereotype for a man and his dog are known to be very quiet people and go about their business with no one really realising which happens in this film open as there is no one around them to realise what they are doing and is very quiet.

6) It is in the interest of the main character which is Will Smith and the way he has to live by himself with a deserted town that is empty. The drive in his car at the start of the opening scene gives the viewer an idea of the setting and surroundings that he is living in and shows how baron and quiet it is. Driving his car really quick also shows there is no people there with him as well as he will be putting their safety in danger by speeding.

Prezi Presentation

The Forbidden Future storyboard

 

The Forbidden Future - Prelim task

Narrative- The Prestige

The Prestige-
In this task we had to watch an opening scene of the film 'The Prestige' and we was giving the task to find 4 different narrative codes which could have been symbolic, Binary opposites, typical character types found in films with hero or villain being examples, and finally whether there is any disruption in the film.
The start of the scene seemed to us as the viewer that it involved an innocent magician showing a young girl a magic trick. This soon changed to scenes of electrical equipment  that is known to be used to torment peoples minds sending electrical pulses through them, This is not as innocent as the first scene. From this you can tell the genre of the film that you may first think of it being fantasy or family drama as there are two different age ranges that could link them to being relatives.

Enigma codes in this opening scene can include:
- Who is trying to kill the magician?
- What part does the old man play?
- When was the film set in?
- Will the magician survive?

Symbolic codes:
- The Budgie in the cage
- Old fashioned/old time period Clothing of the audience
- Curtains opening
- Magic wand - Extraordianry
- Suits - important/wealthy people
- Dark - mysterious/eriee
- Electrical - Dangerous
- Curtain lifting - Surprise/suspence

Action codes
- everyone knows that one of a Magicians tricks is plunging into a locked water tank but will he escape this time?
- Electric field which could show the danger that is involved with water that can create a massive electrical shock.
