Collaboration: Given Scenario, Storyboards and Costume Designs.

-

Moving on from the meeting on Monday, I got chose the scenario of the Bellhop (most of us chose the scenarios we had come up with). 

With this I designed a couple of costumes for the Bellhop for Moom to wear. For this I tried to keep it simple; as I really wanted his personality to come through, this consisted of adding in his scruffy attire of too small trousers, high socks and unties shoes with his Walkman in tow.

Design 1.

Design 2.

We then discussed further in a second meeting with Alan, how we wanted to shoot the scenes since it has to be filmed from a stationary point of view. with this in mind we as a groups thought it be good to set it up as if it is being filmed through a CCTV camera. - Much like a you've been framed scenario where accidents are caught on film.

So keeping this in mind, I then designed a rough storyboard to see how the scenario will play out. With this I found it hard to imagine how the set will look, but feel I got the general idea across. So moving on from here I will look to develop the set design and update the existing storyboards to match.

In Field's Paradigm, he lays out the Acts and their structure of what happens and when. Exposition - introduced to the film’s main character(s) and situation.

Alien (1979) - Film Review.

Directed by Sir Ridley Scott and written from the minds of Dan O’Bannon and Ronald Shusett; Alien (1979) is a film full of jump scares, high suspense and restless curiosity, as stated by Roger Ebert “At its most fundamental level, "Alien" is a movie about things that can jump out of the dark and kill you.” further emphasising the menacing and hostile nature of the foreign organism. Alien (1979) not only pushes boundaries in terms of visual design, but also in subliminal messages hidden within the film that the audience will have to sit a decipher; these include woman empowerment, challenging misogynistic views and the vulnerable qualities that reside in men.
