Fourth Scene Setting and Props

For the villain's secret hideout room we need a small space as it's supposed to be somewhere in the villain/hero's house that only the villain persona knows about. we walked around the school to see if there were any places we could use for filming. It needed to be somewhere dark so as to connote that the villain is a very dark character.

After a while we decided the best place to us would probably be the theatre as it it's completely black in there with all the lights off.

We are using a spacious corner of the theatre as we need a corner to show the villain ha pictures up of the hero and pictures of clocks all around the room. The excess space isn't an issue as we can use lighting and camera techinques such as different shots and camera movements to make the place appear smaller and more contained.

We stuck pictures on the wall of me as the hero character along with pictures Imogen stalked off of my facebook. We also ripped out pieces of newspaper and printed headlines relating to heroic activities such as 'Hero does it again!' an 'Baby saved from burning blaze!' this has been done to show that the villain is obsessed with the hero character and and to connote the fact he knows about the hero and also captivated by the hero's personality and his life. On the adjacent wall we have many pictures and technical diagrams of clocks to indicate that the villain is interested and fixated with time as he is trying to obtain the hero's power to speed up, slow down and stop time.

On the table there were notes, as if scattered around by the villain, in the picture you can see a picture of a clock this has been done to further show that clocks and timepieces are always bouncing around in the villain's scattered mind. The villain's table has been scattered with papers and notes to show that like the table, his mind is a scattered mess.

Another prop we used in this scene, in addition to the papers on the walls and on the table, was an awesome brass pocket watch lent to us by mine and Kirby's friend John. The watch was important to the piece as it further indicates the villains  attraction to and obsession with time. It's also needed as we see the villain in this scene attempting to stop time, in fact we see the watch before the villain showing this is what he does, this is his life.

Second Scene Setting and Props

 

In the first shot of this seen we see the hero putting his costume away into the wardobe we used my sister's for these shots as she has a wardrobe in her room with good space infront of it with a lot of good natural light

We got two angles of this area as we ar going to do an action match of my character putting the outfit in the cupboard, the match on action with start from side on and then moving to a shot from behind me. Hopefully we will be able to make this action match smooth like we did with the scene where Kirby sat down in our preliminary task peice.

An important prop used is my sister's alarm clock which never seems to get her up despite going off loudly enough to wake me up from the opposite side of the house. This prop links the two characters together with time as the hero has the power to control time and the villian is trying to also get this power.

Harry Webber's morphsuit is what we used for our hero's costume and he's awesome for letting us borrow it. The costume is good because it show the cliche of heores always wearing spandex it's also good as it breaks the colour connotations we've built up ie. the hero is shown wearing white and the villian wearing black, this costume is interesting as it is the superhero's costume but it is black, not white
