Review of Lesson - 9th December 2013

What we have learnt this lesson:

• To develop story boarding strategies in order to construct the ideological discourse of stock characters (Heratio)
• Refining our analysing of ideological discourse in the Seven (Fincher, 1995) sequence.

Technical Aspects of Lesson:

Not only did we learn the importance of storyboarding, we also learnt the format and technicalities of it. For example:

• A pan or tilt is signified by one large arrow on the edge of the frame in the direction of the movement
• A track is signified by two large arrows in the direction of the movement
• A zoom (in or out) is signified by a smaller box inside a larger box with lines connecting the four corners. Depending on whether it is zooming in or out the smaller box represents what is shown when zoomed in, and the larger box represents the shot when zoomed out.

How this has moved our concept forward:

We were able to identify stock plots and characters for supernatural horror and use our storyboard techniques to express stereotypical ideological discourse.
