Media studies rationale:

The Carnivale`:

In scene 1, shot 1 I show a wide shot of the carnival and all the smiling people there. this is to show the happy vibe and also to create a sense that everything is all good and under control. The shot includes a carnival setting with lots of trees in the background with tents and a ferris wheel.
In shot 2 it starts to zoom in on a particular family of 2 kids and their divorced father, again all happy adding to the normality and the fact that there are no suspisions about what is about to happen. Also though in the background there is a faint image of a man in the trees which also contrasts with the fact that everyone is happy making the viewers suspisious and question what is going on and not have a very good idea about what is about to happen. Shot 3 only includes the man in the bushes adding to our overall suspisions making us think something is up, especially because an extreme close up is used for this shot and the fact that he is wearing a yellowy orange jumpsuit pointing out to us that he is or was in a mental asylum and could have escaped and is ready to attack again.

In Scene 2, shot 1 the setting goes back to normal as if the man in the bushes was a vision or not real because it shoes lots of happy people again with the ferris wheel in the background and a ticket booth with a massive line. In the 2nd shot of this scene the camera starts to pan over the line showing the magnitude of people at this carnival restoring the happy feel, also there is cheerful carnival music playing in the background to add the happiness. As they get to shot 3 of the scene the camera slowly stops its pan and lands on the mother and father as well as the children near the back of the line. This adds an awkward tone to the scene as the mother and father are divorced which could also symbolise the awkwardness for them all for the fact to keep their children safe and happy as well as together with them which can contrast with what is going to happen later. Still in scene 2, in shot 4 the mother and father head into the line losing their children, this completely contrasts with what has just happened in the last shot, the kids are left alone and faint eerie music starts to play in the background. Again still in scene 2 we go into shot 5 where the camera starts to zoom out from the close up and the show the man from the asylum, this shows the kids as being vulnerable and easily kidnappable. In shot 6 of thjis scene the camera starts to zzom again showing thew man creeping closer while the parents are still no where to be seen. In shot 7 the camera continues to get closer as the man alos gets closer, at this point we are really worried for these kids and are thinking what is agonna happen to them.

Finally in scene 3, shot 1 the editing shows the camera going to black and showing the backside of the chilkdren and man showing a vulnerableness and that the kids have nothing to p[rtect them from behinf aand there is only the creepy mann  now. In the last and final shopt the screen goes balck agin and when it goes light again the kidnapper and the kids are gone.

  1. Overall Score: 20/40

    Brainstorm - 5/10
    Storyboard - 5/10
    Rationale - 10/20

    - This was not uploaded to your Blog for marking by the deadline, Hunter. Really disappointing. Please make sure you keep on top of homework so you don't end up losing marks for being disorganised
    - Brainstorm and rationale are not detailed enough. A great start to a creative, well thought-out scene. Just not enough information to show me as evidence that you know how to use the 4 technical elements to create meaning. Where was your evidence and notes about what 3 conventions you were going to use from the list?
    - Storyboard - well presented but it doesn't match the notes in some cases. For example, you say in scene 1, shot 3 that it's an extreme close-up but the picture shows a long shot. You say in the rationale that this 'extreme close-up' will show us the yellow pants but an extreme close-up is usually an eye or something really close up so this shot wouldn't work for this purpose. Also the storyboard doesn't have enough variety of shots to really show off that you know how to use all the different shots we have learnt about in class.

    Think of your homework as showing off. You want to cram as MUCH information, terminology and technical knowledge into your homework assignments so I can award the BEST marks possible.
