I decided on a
step outline piece instead of the alternatives, storyboard and a film, I decided this
because I figured
my filming skills were not that great. I didn't choose a storyboard because my
photography skills aren't too great either so I was left with a step outline
which I liked the idea of anyway. The step outline was overall my preferred
choice from the three options.
Originally, I wanted to base it of DC comic villains but decided to change it because it would be more difficult than what I chose to do. What I chose to do was slightly based off the TV show Breaking Bad but with twists and alterations, obviously, because otherwise it would be boring. I chose not to have it like that because I thought I could make it better because it would otherwise be the same with different names and just not be as good.
My idea involved the genres of crime drama because of the features i used and how the story was being told. I think that i did well on the story but the story could have been improved through different aspects. I think it could have been improved by trying to change the idea completely and attempting to come up with an original idea. I did change key aspects in this to what it's based upon but the story seemed too familiar. Other ways this could have been improved is through the micro features that i used, i don't think i used enough. The camera could have been used better, however i thought i used mise en scene well to make the story. I intended for this one, that i creative the build up towards them meeting in the film and was creating scenes before it show it.
In my step outline I used multiple technical features but I could've used more if I managed to bring out the narrative more. My step outline is the beginning of a film called "Psychosis" and tells the story of a former business owner called Mark Nable, from the name of the, you can probably tell it is about a psychopath, the scenes described show his downfall into Psychosis becoming a psychopath. I could've illustrated the path into psychosis a lot better than I have described by using the mise-en-scene more often than I have. Another way is through the music in each scene, the music could easily show a downfall of a psychotic state but I don't believe I described the music enough to paint the picture of the scene.
Positive points about the mise en scene are shown through the characters of Leo James, Lewis Taylor and Billy Lloyd, in the scene with these characters, the mise en scene establishes the type of characters they are. The drugs they use are a convention of the crime drama genre and further the narrative, drug use is also a main part of the narrative in Harry Brown. When it backfired, it caused multiple deaths, this caused him to be fired. Leo is a student at the time of his firing, and is deeply into drugs, heroin, weed and cocaine. After Mark's firing, he goes home to find fines through the mail, which he hides from his wife for a while, this takes him further than his breaking point and he flips out destroying everything he can see. Leo also has a crumbling in his life similar to Mark, first Leo was kicked out of college, heads to his house and he sees an eviction notice of 1 month and decides to bring out the heroin and basically diving into full blown addiction.
The characters are appropriate for the age range the film, the characters were diverse and very different. My choices for the description could have been better and more descriptive, more about the clothes, the rooms and the place the film is set.
I could've improved this work by adding more conventions to the step outline and adding more mise en scene elements. Other ways I could've improved it could've been a more thought out narrative because it wasn't thought out enough. The narrative could've been so much better than I thought it would be, the narrative was thin and I thought it could've been thought out a lot more than I did. The description of the scenes could be so much better too because I didn't think I did that well with describing the scenes because of the way I tend to tell a story of the situation which was not what I needed to do.
