DEAD END
By Arta Begu
Open to a close up of a foot getting out of a car. Atmosphere is grey and quite. We move to a mid-shot of Kate getting out of the car, then to a fast pan of the new neighbour hood.
In the next scene we see Kate and Russel bumping into each other in a 6th form common room. They shake hand and part.
In the next shot we see Kate at her locker. Adel here comes in for the first time. She slams the locker.
ADEL
IM ADEL!
We then move to see a group of young 6th formers on computers. One of the girls notices Kate and Adel.
AYSHA
Ah she gona go mad!
We here the school bell go off and move to a class room.
Mr HULL
Right thanks for those who handed in their coursework, hope everyone has a great weekend. You guys can go now.
Mid shot from behind the class room from the students point of view. They all get up and leave. We change shots from a mid shot of from the door to see Kate and Mr Hull behind her.
Mr HULL
Not you Kate Emmerton. Sit down!
We then change shots to see Kate from a high angle over the shoulder shot.
Mr HULL
Why didn’t you hand in your coursework?!
KATE

Mr HULL
No!
KATE
But the thing is sir that...
Mr HULL

We change setting into Kate’s home, where she is sitting doing her homework. Mal is on the bed with her son, she checks her phone and jumps up.
MAL

KATE

MAL

KATE

THANKS LOVE YOU!
We change shots to see Kate sitting on her bed. We get three different shots, where Kate changes her position. The baby is crying through out this scene. WE then see a close up of Kate’s phone saying Russell Calling.
We change setting again to see Kate in the school toilets. Adel slams one of the cubical doors open. We see 3 short, quick shots of Kate being beating by Adel. In the last shot, Adel slaps Kate, which we will see in slow motion.
We change setting to see a mid shot Kate sitting on a street wall, with her face all bruised. The atmosphere here is grey. We then get a close up of her face, the as she pulls her hood up we get a fast zoom out, where we change scene.
In the next scene we are back in the canteen where we see Adel, Russell and a few other 6th from friends. We see Adel trying to get Russell's attention but then he gets up and moves from the table.
We change scene, a long shot of a row of school lockers and Kate walking down, the Russell comes in and hugs her from behind. We change shots to a close mid shot of Kate and Russell looking at each other as they walk off.
We change setting to a mid mid shot of Russell leaning again a street wall, he is calling Kate. We change to a mid shot of Kate on her bed reading a book, answers her Phone.
KATE

RUSSELL
Hey, come out side okay?
We see a low angle shot of Kate looking down at Russell from her window. Long shot of Mirsad and Dardan coming toward Russell from across the street.
MIRSAD
AINT YOU MEANT TO BE WITH MY SISTER?!
We see Kate backing away from her window. Switch shots to and back from Kate running down her stairs and the fight scene. We hear a gunshot. 180 degree pan of Kate looking staring away, with a the police cars’ flash on her face.

Hello Arta, Selvia & Adelina,
ReplyDeleteYou have added more to the blog, but you still have quite a way to go to hit Level 4. You have shown some good levels of proficiency in layout, drafting and storyboarding, good research into existing texts and a potential target audience.
Now to progress further you need to:
•Organise blog posts so they follow a chronological order.
•Have your script in the correct format.
•You need to justify your storylines. Why have you chosen to have/show these narratives in your trailer? How are they representative of your soap as a whole? What effect are you trying to create for your audience?
•Must be more explicit when looking at conventions used in soap trailers, posters and magazines. Make sure you add one paragraph that focuses on the common conventions used in the trailer/poster/magazine and the effect of these on the audience. (such as for trailers: use of music, pace, single or multiple narratives, linear or non-linear structure, hyper-dramatised, surreal or self-parody in terms of style -eg Eastenders Roxy & Peggy ones).
•Need to have images of costumes, with reasons why used.
•Must link your poster & magazine to the brand identity that you are trying to create with the three products together.
•Have a clear outline of your trailer, which answers the following: What do you want the content & style to be like? How do you want to represent your soap in the trailer? What kind of effect on the audience do you hope to achieve?
•Be very clear on whatyour brand identity is? What overall identity do you want to create with your three tasks? How are you going to ensure that this is coherent across the three tasks?
At present your marks are:
Arta- 13 (low level 3)
Adelina- 13 (low level 3)
Selvia- (low level 3)
