Rumplestiltskin: Noir Storyboard

                           
This slideshare presentation is the result of the task we were set in which we had to re-create a fairytale so that it fitted with the typical conventions of noir film. The purpose of this task was to experiment with different camera angles to fit different scenes of the noir storyboard.This is also linked to our continuity task which we'll be uploading relatively soon.

The Avengers : Analysing one frame

In the image are three superheroes, who are all in costume in a destroyed forest. The superheroes on the right are positioned together and away from the one on the left. This makes us feel that the hero on the left isn't familiar or friendly with the ones on the right, but the ones on the right are familliar and friendly with each other.

The camera is positioned as to the side of the characters so that we can see the distance between the characters. The moody lighting and dark colours suggest that the characters are not on good terms, along with the setting of a ruined forest. The moody lighting also tells us that it's night time.

 Attention is drawn to the characters because of the bright colours they are wearing, when the background is dark. The furthest right character (captain america,) is the focus of the shot because he is wearing the most colourful clothing and is standing in a position which looks like he doesn't want to fight, whereas the others are standing in possitions as if they were ready to fight., 

The Avengers : Genre & Narrative

The Avengers is a superhero action film following a group of superheroes as they set out on a quest to recapture a powerful tesseract stolen by Thor's evil brother Loki. I think this is a fantastic film because of the excellent mixture of superheroes, intense action scenes and slight elements of comedy.

Foley Sound

Foley sounds are sounds that are created in post production to be added above the film. This could be a sound for anything and could be recreated with anything. This could mean that insted of just recreating a sound just by putting a microphone next to something that makes the desired noise you could have a completely unrelated noise that is edited in an audio editing software.
