Evaluations question 1


Storyline

The idea of the opening was based on a young teenage girl running through a rather deserted location with important unknown information. She is in the process of passing on this information through a download, however just as she reaches 100% she realises she has been followed, as she begins to run the mysterious attacker knocks her down unconscious. Lastly picking up the girls phone and placing it in his pocket. All is still unrevealed which was our main ambition from the beginning, to keep the audience interested.

Organising evaluations

For my evaluations I have decided to have three of the questions presented on a powteen video as for the other 4 questions spoken about in a vlog recorded on my camera. I have successfully completed all filming now, and will be uploading all 7 items very soon.

My costume


For my outfit I chose to have quite a simple look, however suitable to be running in, so had to allow enough stretchiness. When we first began filming I was wearing another jacket however did not zip up properly meaning it did not give me the amount of coverage I needed. So instead I wore Izabell's coat which provided a more suitable look for the character. For my bottom half I just wore black ripped jeans suiting the coat well, with not to overly bright colours.
I found it quite difficult between day-to-day of filming keeping my look exactly the same especially with my hair as kept changing positioning.

Moana

Moana (2016) is a new upbeat disney movie which is the 56th animated feature film made by Walt disney productions. The film tells the story of Moana, the strong-willed daughter of the chief of a Polynesian tribe, who is chosen by the ocean itself to reunite a mystical relic with a goddess. When a blight strikes her island, Moana sets sail in search of Maui, a legendary demigod, in the hope of saving her people.
Moana was released theatrically in the United States on November 23, 2016, in Disney Digital 3-D, RealD 3D, D-Box, and premium large formats. The film received critical acclaim, with particular attention directed to its animation, music, and voice cast. To date, the film has grossed nearly $638 million worldwide. Along with Zootopia, it marked the first time since 2002 that Walt Disney Animation Studios released two feature films in the same year. It received two Academy Award nominations at the 89th Academy Awards: one for Best Animated Feature and another for Best Original Song ("How Far I'll Go").
I thought the film was extremely pleasurable and funny with the incredible animation design and strong script. The film represents a hero and the willingness of bravery and strength to save your own people. Making this a powerful symbol for females, especially in the new era of disney movies representing they do not need a prince to save them. The main character is completely loveable and charming, not forgetting to mention the adorable baby animation of Moana in the beginning!

Storyboard vs final opening

   
I am now going to compare my storyboard to the actual final footage of the opening. The opening shots stayed pretty similair, particularly the establishing ones. Most of the running angles stayed the same apart from the close up on the feet, as was a particularly difficult angle to film. As well as we did not use the close up eye angle, as did not serve a particular relevance in the scene, not to mention the difficulty of zooming out.
