Where am I now?

My final film idea so far is to have a men walking to work everyday past a house with a high wooden fence and everyday he hears something saying "7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7". Its only ever in the morning. He looks confused and looks at the house. He tries going on the other side of the road he tries putting headphones on he tries leaving earlier but still hears the voices. then one day he tries looking over the fence but cant see anything and gets even more confused. The next day he looks through a small hole in the fence only to get poked in the eye with a stick. He walks off annoyed holding his eye and as he walks off he hears "8, 8, 8, 8, 8". Then a shot of the other side of the fence and theres some children giggling and add to their tally on the fence in chalk.


Mise-en-scene


Setting: Just a normal street with a high fence that I have easy access to.


Hair and makeup-costume: The guys clothing changes everyday to show the days.


Lighting: Natural lighting


Character expression: Confusion and Intrigue. Amusement from the children.


Props: chalk in the final scene




Cinematography


Different shots of the man walking. Different angles.




Sound: Possibly some music. Obviously the dialogue of the numbers.




Editing: I will probably use a range of basic editing techniques as my film is a simple genre so would look wrong with crazy editing.




Representation: I want to make a joke of keeping your nose out of peoples business and being too intrigued.


Genre:


Narrative: Linear narrative and I want the character to develop throughout the film with his expression.
Audience: I want anyone to be able to watch the film. Not specifically anyone.

Film Change

When planning my first film idea I found it hard to cast my characters and find the right location which was just wasting filming time and I felt as it wouldn't come out as well as I wanted it to. so after careful consideration I decided to change my film idea to something that would be easier to cast and film. I filmed a first draft over the Christmas holidays and have been playing around with the editing. My idea is a young boy wakes up and everything is going wrong like there no toilet paper left or cereal and he hasn't got any pants left. Then when he leaves the house he finds a coin on the floor and then everything starts going well for him... too well. The girl he likes texts him back, he wins a scratch card, he gets full marks on a test. The boy starts to get a bit too cocky with his luck but then as he's walking home he finds another coin and as he bends down to pick it up he doesn't notice the car coming towards him. This is my first draft of the first half...

For this piece I was shown the image below and had to make something based off of it. My first thought was that she looked scared and confused but you couldn't see what she was looking at so I wanted my piece to have that idea in mind. I wanted Daniel to be casually walking then all of a sudden see something and run away, I also wanted to add the music to make it more dramatic and like there was something really scary there. My favourite part about this piece is the shot of the cat at the end as it really shows the comedic side and that he was running from something that really wasn't scary.
