Initial Narrative Ideas (planning)

With our initial ideas we began by using thinking maps to help us finalise our ideas, for exam; we used circle maps and tree diagrams. This was useful because as a group we could discuss our ideas and then put them on paper in a more organised way. 

The tree map was particularly useful as it split up 3 of our initial ideas and in the end we managed to bring them back together. This stuck to our genre better as with social realism it is likely our characters are experiencing a mixture of these events.

We had three initial ideas for our SOCIAL REALISM narrative. 

We have picked one.

The initial three..

The final one..

No doubt it will be adapted however this is our first idea for out final SOCIAL REALISM narrative.

Narrative conventions

TIME AND PLACE 

We did research into narrative conventions - in particular time and place and how it is shown...

We discovered that the main ways it was shown was through were:

• Lightning bolts and electricity to show time travel 
• Technology - shows future (times machines and spaceships)
• Graffic matches show objects passing through time or a change of place e.g: space odyssey
• Cross fades and blurs demonstrate the cross over of certain time period 
• Similar colours (in particular blues) shows the continuous theme of time 

Trailer research - analysis - Todorov theory

This is our analysis of the 'Zombie Land' theatrical trailer using Todorov's theory.

Possible production company names

Some example ideas for our production company name... I have been playing around with names we discussed as a group and along with group feedback created some mock up logos in order for a group final decision to be made.
