Narnia assessment Camera shots and angles 1.a Our scene from the Narnia script only had two setting; the forest and inside Mr Tumous’s house. The woods were a lot easier to film the house because there was a lot more space and a lot more angles we could film from, where as the house was filmed in my shed and was only good for 3-4 angles. We filmed the woodland scene in the morning ones the sun had risen so we had as much as the day to film the scenes we needed. Firstly, we started with shots where we followed Lucy, played by Izzy threw the woods and finally to the lampposts. Even though this was only 25 seconds of the video we used 3 camera shots, one following her and two from the side. After this we started to film with Mr Tumous. When filming with him we used even more angles and filmed more shots for example we filed one of the shots from above, this is because it meant that we could have both actors could be in shot and it made the passing of the parcels more affective.

Here are some pictures of the script that I have annotated explaining at points how I want the actors to perform through voice, expression and movement.  I had a discussion with the editor about what I wanted for the final piece, and how I wanted each part to look and sound. We made two different cuts using the same footage to get an idea of how we wanted each scene to look, one by the editors, one by the director and camerawoman we discussed the different shots that we had and went through each cut and picked out the ones that we wanted to use. The editors captured our ideas really well and the final piece is very similar to what we had imagined and the storyboards shown below.  After reading through the script, annotating it for the actors' directions etc. the editor drew some storyboards to get a better idea of what the final piece was going to look like. We had the storyboards with us when filming so that we could position the actors accor

After reading the script it is clear that it uses linear narrative, which is when a scene or story has a defined start, middle and end with no cutaways from that order. This is the traditional way of telling stories as it is straightforward to understand, which is especially helpful in Narnia, as it is a children’s story. Linear narrative is used to great effect in this scene to build audience engagement in the world inside the wardrobe, as it allows them to take in the new surroundings at a good pace, in the scene there are a lot of long drawn out parts which help ease the viewer into taking in the new environment. This is often used in films, one example could be Star Wars, every time they visit a new planet there are usually slower paced conversations or shots of the environment to help the viewer adapt from environment to environment. A theoretical effect we could use within our video is the Kuleshov Effect. An example of a location within the script where we could use th
