Plot and Script Ideas

Storyboard

 1. This page of the story board establishes the setting. Shots 1&2 are long shots of Kieran and Madalene and make the audience aware of their surrounds and where the characters are in proportion to one another.

2. Shot 7 and shot 12a we have noticed during the process of filming are quite difficult to shoot, because of the reflection of the glass windows and doors. We have had to mess a lot with the positioning of the lights and camera.

 3. For the outdoor shots, we wanted Madalene to walk through the paddock in the dark, but when we did reccie shots we found this very difficult as it was hard to see the characters and was very pixilated. and have Kieran push her into a muddy puddle. This will create a dramatic sense of the male gender being superior to female.

4. Shot 23 is one of my favourite shots in Half-Hearted as it is very dramatic and creates a very strong sense o tension in ht audience. Because it is shown straight after Kieran pushes Madalene over, the audience automatically assumes that danger is about to follow, and that Madalene is in trouble.

5. Shot 28 of Half-Hearted is one of the hardest shots in this film to shoot. Being the camera operator,  I had to find a way to film the shot with a high, titled angle. I chose to do this shot because of the way the viewer felt while watching it- off balance and uncomfortable. I felt like this would prepare them for the next scene to come.
