22- setting

List of the settings in our script :
  • Narnia
  • Alternative Universe
  • Mr Tumnus' House
  • Lampost Scene
  • Frosty Forest
  • The Wardrobe into Narnia Scene
Images of potential settings that can work and reasons why :

Plantation Garden - The Plantation Garden is a Grade II English Heritage registered garden close to Norwich City centre, next to the Catholic Cathedral. The Garden comprises nearly 3 acres and its features include a Gothic fountain, flower beds, lawns, an Italianate terrace, ‘Medieval’ wall, summer-house, woodland walkways and a rustic bridge. It is an idiosyncratic garden, a haven of peace and tranquillity and a glimpse into a bygone age.


Mousehold Hill -
Mousehold Heath is an area of heathaland and woodland which lies in north east Norwich, England and a designated Local Nature Reserve. It is now mostly covered by broad-leaf semi-natural woodland, although some areas of heath remain and are actively managed. This location would be ideal for our scene of Narnia, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardobe.


 Bewilderwood Adventure Park -  
A huge, award winning forest of family fun and outdoor adventure. Treehouses, zip wires,
jungle bridges, Crocklebogs, Twiggles and Boggles, storytelling, boat trips, marsh walks and really yummy food!

Final choices of what settings we are using and reasons why :
We chose to use a local forest for our setting as we thought it was best for our scene. The setting was perfect for our Narnia piece because the area was very close to home. This made transportation very easy for cast members and producers as it wasn't far to travel. Furthermore, the location was a forest in a field nearby which means that there was no entry fee, unlike other locations we were looking at. Finally, our location was very quiet which meant that we could get a lot of footage in before a dog walker came past. This was very good as it allowed us to film lots without being disturbed. In conclusion, I think that our location was exactly how our group envisioned the setting to look like, we all believe that we couldn't have chosen a better location to film.

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. This image shows Cameron sitting in the back of the car, dazed while Ferris drives and Sloane turns to him to Comfort him. The way that Ferris is shown as not caring for hi...

29- directing style

DIRECTING STYLE EXTERIOR SHOTS For our LION THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE scenes, I looked at multiple directors, each with their own distinctive styles. I specifically looked at Wes Anderson, as his warm hues and centralised characters create interesting final outcomes. These images show how we have used the warmer hues and tried to centralise the characters. The lighting also created this warmer effect as the sun had been setting. These images are stills from the first part of the scene, when the two characters - Mr Tumnus and Lucy are outside, and when they first meet. The camera work was important, as we wanted to capture the bewilderment on Lucy's face as well as Mr Tumnus' shock of seeing a human. The directing style itself had been quite simple, because I didn't want to over complicate it. As I also played a large role in creating the storyboards, it allowed me to direct each scene nicely. DID ANY OF YOUR STORYBOARD IDEAS CHANGE ON SHOOT? ...

24- Working from script 5-props

The props that will be a necessity will be: -Boxes insinuating parcels- in the outside scene, Mr tumness is seen holding an armful of parcels. To make these I used a flat piece of cardboard and within, cut out a net. I then put together the net and wrapped them in paper to make it look as though they are parcels. -A picture of an older faun- I found it hard to find a good picture of a faun but after looking on google images I came across this picture which was the most appropriate. the picture quality is quite low and therefore in the shot we will make sure that the photo isn't fully and is briefly shown on camera.  -A flute- in Mr Tumness' house he begins to play a flute for...
