What's a storyboard

We started our storyboard today and we were given this sheet to help us understand storyboards

Seven Thriller 9 frame analysis

This is the first image that comes up on the movie opening, this is an extreme close up on a book by the looks of things, it gives a sense of enigma, because you want to know what is in the book, and who's book is it. The titles are very distorted, and look jagged and not welcoming, which tells you that it is not a romantic movie. The big element of this shot is the enigma of the book and what is in it, this is a key element when it comes to thrillers.

This is the second frame within the movie opening. in both of these frames there is always a hint of darkness within the frame, which is another key aspect, because you want to know what is hiding in that darkness, which gives a sense of enigma, also the picture of the hands, makes you wounder who's hands they are. This frame is a lose up, they have got very dim lighting in this scene as well which adds to the tension of this scene.

This frame is the actual name of the film, and as you can see it is very dull and gloomy, but then the text pops out at you because of the very bright white color off the text, the text font is also strange, it is not standard font it is very uneven and faded, and this again shows enigma because we want to know why it had faded, the mise-en-scene is pretty plain and simple, yet effective because it stands out even though it has standard colors.

This is an extreme close up of someone writing or logging in a book of some sort, and there is an effect where it looks like he/she had been writing for a while. The mise-en-scene is well presented in this frame of the film opening, because of the extreme close up, you only focus on that specific area of the frame which makes you want to know who is actually writing in the book. This also implements bits of enigma, as you don't know who is writing it and why it's being written.

This shot is an extreme close up, of a page and someone is filling in some parts of the text with a black pen, you usually see this on private documents. This shows a key element in thriller movies which is enigma, because you don;t know who is doing this or why he is doing this, this gives you a sense of mystery which is a massive part of a thriller movie.

Again this is an extreme close up of a picture, which looks like a boy. The titles are a big contribution to this frame because it says a lot about the movie or the main character in the movie, the font is not straight or organised and the font is displaced around the page, which could mean that the main character is slightly crazy, if it relates to the font., the mise-en-scene is the lighting which is dark all around the central image, which attracts the attention towards the center of the frame.

The was an extreme close up of a picture on a man with a sharp object in the back of his head, which is very strange because this person has kept a picture of it and putting in a scrap book of some sorts, maybe he is logging his killings or he is a police officer looking at a murder. The mise-en-scene is the lighting which is dark all around the central image, which attracts the attention towards the center of the frame.

This is a one of the titles used during the movie opening, and as you can see it has a plane black background and bright white text, this stands out against the black background which draws your attention, the black background could represent evil and the white text could mean hope.

In my opinion this is a vital clue in relation to the main character, As you can see that is an american dollar bill and there is a message at the bottom of the bill, and as you can see the person has cut out the work "God" which could either mean that he is very religious or the complete opposite maybe an Antichrist, or a saytan worshiper. This is also a very extreme close up. 

Different Types Of Genres

There are many different types of genres in movies now, and there are ways of distinguishing them from other genes. Ways of doing this is from film posters, you can tell an action film, from its high amount of colors and visual effects used within the movie and you always have the protagonist on the front of the poster so people know who the main character is, and a horror film is most of the time, a dark and gloomy poster, with no indication of a protagonist or antagonistic, so you don't know much about the film until you actually watch it for yourself. 

Cross-genre (or hybrid genre) writing blends stylistic and structural elements from two or more literary genres in an experimental format. Hybrid genres are now more common these days as most thriller films have inserted more meaningful contents, such as a psychological thriller, these generally have things to do with your mind and that area

• Action comedy
• Comic science fiction
• Romantic comedy
• Romantic fantasy
• Science fantasy (science fiction and fantasy)
• Science fiction Western
• Supernatural drama
• Tragicomedy
• Weird West

Narrative Work

Vladimir Propp

1. The villain — struggles against the hero. 

1. The dispatcher— character who makes the lack known and sends the hero off.

1. The (magical) helper — helps the hero in their quest.

1. The princess or prize — the hero deserves her throughout the story but is unable to marry her because of an unfair evil, usually because of the villain. The hero's journey is often ended when he marries the princess, thereby beating the villain.

1. Her father — gives the task to the hero, identifies the false hero, marries the hero, often sought for during the narrative. Propp noted that functionally, the princess and the father cannot be clearly distinguished.

1. The donor — prepares the hero or gives the hero some magical object.

1. The hero or victim/seeker hero — reacts to the donor, weds the princess.

1. False hero — takes credit for the hero’s actions or tries to marry the princess.

Vladimir Propp was born on April 17, 1895 in St. Petersburg to a German family. He attended St. Petersburg University (1913–1918) majoring in Russian and German Philology  Upon graduation he taught Russian and German at a secondary school and then became a college teacher of German.
