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

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. Mise en scene: Costume and makeup: the costume of all three characters stays the same throughout this scene. Chaplin wearing his iconic suit unprepared for the weather, the other two wearing large fur coats and hats to keep warm. This makes Chaplin's character (the lone prospector) seem a lot smaller than The makeup in this scene is minimal as it is hardly needed as the black and white picture makes it hard to notice any makeup anyway. the only makeup used is the makeup around Chaplin's eyes to make him stand out in the film. Props: the props in this scene are m

30- making narnia

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. Although, it was very cold and quite frosty, this just added to the atmosphere we wanted for Narnia as it supposed to be winter time. 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
