The first section of our story board is made up of shots taken within a school surrounding, this is perfect as we re still currently studying at a school, Ryde Academy creates the perfect Mis en Scene. Setting the scene within a school automatically creates a connection for our target audience to relate for as the main age range is aimed towards those still in a stereotypical full time education lifestyle; this also automatically says what age range the characters are most likely to be. We tried out a variety of different shots in different stereotypical school situations.
One of my personal favorites - The school canteen.
This was our second most successful take as the first encountered alot of camera shake which ruined the overall shot. My favorite part of this one is the 'CU' on Bella's face as she takes a bite out of the apple, as we zoom out from this you see the neglect and loneliness surrounding the character, who we have placed alone. I feel this decision works positively to portray her as a geek, and is also backed up when the canteen staff tidy the table around her, for example when she pushes the chair in under the table next to her.
INSERT CANTEEN SHOT -2
As you would have noticed the shot is potentonly unusable becasue of the boy who obstructs the vision as we zoom in to take a 'CU' shot of Bella's face. I understand how it could create a negative outlook on the shot however the rest of the text work so well that maybe this could be overlooked. The only way we'll be able to tell is during the post-production and editing stage.
