Narrative: Basketball Scene

This scene will probably be the most striking and memorable part of our video due to our use of special effects. We are using lots of fake blood and material cut in strips to act as insides. We chose to use close ups and a hands held camera to film the zombie parts of this scene as that is conventional of action in zombie media. In editing we plan to use a lot of fast editing, giving our audience a gimps of something grousume before changing to create tension and make it look more violent than it acualy was. This fast editing also works to our advantage as we didn't know how good/realistic our specile effects would be so the editing dosent give our viewers enough time to see what it actually is.

CASTING AND COSTUME:
We wanted the teenage boys in this scene to look normal and naturalistic so we dressed them in casual t shirts and hoodies. The plainer and more relateable they looked the more shocking it would be when they turned into zombies.
Hoodies were the key piece of clothing in this scene for two reasons: Hoodies are a youthful garment of clothing, often with negative connotations such as gang culture or a person having a negative image being called a 'hoodie'. It was also important to this scene as we wanted Josh to rip open Ben's hoodie to reveal the blood and guts underneath so that hopefully it would look like he was also ripping the skin and flesh  making this action perticulaely violent.



In this scene we took a bit of inspiration from The Verve's music video "Bittersweet Symphony". We got our protagonist to walk towards the camera in a lonely fashion with only one other person visible behind her at first, similar to the scene in "Bittersweet Symphony".

The differences between the two are that he walks with purpose, but she doesn't. This could be as a result of her age. Or because of her place in society, she feels like she is invisible and unimportant. Also, the roles are reversed. She gets pushed over and he pushes someone over. This could be shown as Emma having no power over her life and The Verve feeling like they have a sense of control over others.

However, in "Bittersweet Symphony" it seems that he is lost in thought and trying to figure out what he's doing in life which is what we are trying to achieve with our protagonist.

We have also used a close-up of her feet, like in The Verve's video, to show that she is walking a different path to everyone else. She feels alone and so does Richard Ashcroft in "Bittersweet Symphony", he feels like he is the only person seeing the world as it is. Whereas, Emma feels that she is seeing the people in the world as they really are (mean) and not who they pretend to be.
