@Phil Fantastic voyage - story idea



Story idea
  1. Collection of bees in the hive being briefed on their job for today by the queen bee
  2. Diagrams showing the sunflowers and how the bees are going to pollinate them - here is where I will show labelled diagrams of the flowers explaining what each part of the flower does and how the bees will help the flower's reproduction
  3. The bees are then assigned their own flower couple to help reproduce
  4. The bees are then released from the hive
  5. The bee that is being focused on (Buzz) then goes on a journey finding his flower couple using an image of the flowers
  6. As its his first time pollinating he gets confused with what to do so he looks around trying to see what the other bees are doing. 
  7. A bee mentor then comes over and reminds him of what to do
  8. He then understands his job and pollinates them

    Yep! Sounds like this will work very nicely, Tia - so what you need to identify now is a sort of art direction 'picture frame' to put around your story so you've got some clear design instructions - which will stop things from just being generic. You also want to ensure that your art direction privileges strong, simplified design so you're not building this vast universe of digital sets and very complex characters that will prevent you from completing your film. It could be as simple as this approach...

    In other words - cute, shape-based, toy-like - which means that everything else in your film is designed in the same way...

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind (2004) - Non-linear storytelling

Image
Figure 1. Movie poster (2004) Non-linear methods: Chronicle (Linear storytelling)  - The film starts off  with a non-linear storytelling method. This is as the audience are unaware as to where they are, who the characters are and what they are doing. The scenes also change suddenly and time shifts backwards and forwards. The story then becomes linear once Joel starts to get his memories of Clementine removed. This is as he is in a dream state trying to stop his memories of her from leaving him.  Figure 2. Joel and Clementine meeting Retrograde (Events in reverse order)  - This is shown throughout the movie without the audience realising until they are nearing the end of the film. At the start of the film the audience understand that Joel and Clementine have only just met and that Joel and Clementine's feelings towards each other grow, but towards the end of the film it is made clear that not only did Clementine and Joel know each other previously, they were also

Film review: A Knight's Tale (2001) - A Hero's journey

During today's lecture we looked into depth on Joseph Campbell's monomyth theory on the 17 stages of 'A Hero's Journey' and how the stages are very evident in films such as Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) and The Matrix (1999). The theory has 3 acts which come together to form the 17 different stages in A Hero's Journey.  Below is a diagram to explain Campbell's theory: Figure 1. Joseph Campell - 17 Stage Monomyth - A Hero's Journey (1949) The film that I am using to help prove this theory is A Knight's Tale (2001). Figure 2. Original Movie Poster (2001) Stage 1 - The call to adventure: The Knight that William (Heath Ledger), the knight's servant, works for, dies, meaning that William, along with all of the Knight's over servants, are left without a job. As the servants worry what to do next and panic as they haven't eaten in three days, one of the King's servants come over on a horse and explains that the Knig
