11- Ferris bueller's day off- Mise en scene

Ferris beuller's day off is an 80s teenage comedy in which the main character, a confident, sly and clever high schooler does everything he can to ensure that he doesn't get caught while skipping school. On this day that he is not at school him, his girlfriend Sloane and best friend Cameron take a trip to Chicago which has its ups and downs. In one scene, because the miles on Cameron's dads Ferrari have been changed, Cameron goes "berserk", screams and pretends to go into a mental state. We then see Ferris and Sloane trying to wake him from this state while sitting in a pool and having him sit poolside. When Cameron slumps himself into the water, Ferris throws himself after him and brings him to the surface where Cameron wakes up and states that he was fine and was joking about being mad.

post 34- Micro elements of film form- the goldrush

Scene 1: the shotgun scene The opening scene of the Goldrush sees Charlie Chaplin trekking through the snow and coming across a house in the middle of nowhere. here is where he meets the two other characters; the other gold hunter and the man that lived in the house that they found. as the man doesn't know why the other charactors are in his house he pulls out a shotgun and points it at Chaplin in a funny way.

Making of Narnia Exterior We used a forest in Wymondham which was local to us so it wasn't too long of a walk to get to.

We made sure that our actors (when they weren't being filmed) had warm coats on as we didn't want them to get too cold. We chose to not do snow to make our Narnia as we thought it would create too much mess and it would be hard for us to get the snow in every angle we wanted to film. If we were to do snow, it would mean that we would have to limit what we could film as we would have to make sure snow was in every scene and cover a lot of the forest area which would mean a lot of time would be spent after cleaning it up. We also chose not to use a lamppost as there wasn't any nearby to where we were filming so instead we used a tree as we believed it would be more effective than just having a lamppost in the
