Story idea

summary:
Character 1 takes the key and hides it behind his back, and slips it inside his pocket, he then brings both hands forward with clenched fists as if the key were in one of his hands, the other sneak who suspects the trickery points at something behind him to make him look away and takes the key out of his back pocket. He then chooses a hand,

Jafar - Aladdin




Character 1:
character 1 and 2 are essential the same character. They both use trickery
to try to win the game, I'm going to give them expressions and body language
similiar to characters such as Jafar from Aladin. Which means snake eyes and
strong eyebrows.

Fox

Entry 1

I can't think of a director that influences me in particular. I subconsciously draw inspiration from all kinds of directors so I can't distinguish just one. Instead i'm going to base my characters around existing characters and shoot them with my own style of directing. The scene is that there is a hot babe waiting in the passenger seat of a sports car and two guys are argueing over who get to drive with her. The challenge is the evil character takes the key and puts it in one of his hands and the other character has to guess which hand holds the key. If he guesses correct then he gets to drive otherwise the evil character does. The evil character however tricks him and drops the key inside his pocket so that the key is not in either hand. The girl will be based upon a typical blonde bimbo, the evil character will based upon the fox off pinnochio, at the moment i'm thinking that both characters are sneaks who both try to use trickery to win the challenge. So the other character will be based upon the evil fazier in aladdin.

Battle of the Wits Sequence

The sequence i've chosen is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EkBuKQEkio from
1.39 to 2.03. I chose this scene because of the wit's expressions as the hero pours and switches the cups.

Task 1

Director: Luc Besson

Movie: The Fifth Element

One of my favourite and most inspiring movies is Luc Besson’s The Fifth Element. He weaves the comic action scenes together using a great array of bizarre personalities and creatures, a fresh breath from the typical action genre characters. Another thing that I really like about The Fifth Element is the diverse range of colours used to paint his representation of the future. Almost everything in the movie has been twisted in a slightly different direction from the norm notably the soundtrack. The scene used to introduce Bruce Willis’s is worth mentioning, Luc Besson keeps the actions in the scene in sync with the beat of the song.
