2. Planning
Narrative:
A mother (Andrada) and her son (Kevin) have had a
troubled past together because her son is involved in
drugs and has the devil on his back. After 2 years, he
returns home from prison one night and demands
financial support. However the mother is unwilling to
help out and tells him to disappear into the dark roads
from once he came as she has a younger child (Whom of
which he has no idea of) who is ignorant of the
disturbance going on downstairs.
3. Dialogue:
• Son: Hey mum...
Mother: What are you doing here?!
Son: That doesn't matter right now, I need
your help.
Mother: NO! Get the hell out! NOW! I don't
want you here. I don't want any trouble from
you.

5. • In order for the actors to be able to get to know what their character was
like; we had to create the denotation and connotation for each one.

Connotation:

6. Camera Shots:

Panning side shot, Stationary camera - When the son is
arriving at the door.
Stationary camera, zoom in over the shoulder to the
door, focus lens on the door
POV - Of the mother as she opens the door
Wide angle shot as the son is going through the living
room doorway.
MS - On the son as he sits down on the couch
Long shot, two-shot as the mother walks into the room
following her son.
CU - On the mother as she says her last line
7. What I’ve learned from planning:
• Different camera shots and the affect that
individual one can create.
• Analysing different scripts and choose the one
that everyone can relate to.
• Denotation and connotation and how these work
to express a characters looks and personality.
• How the Narrative helps the viewer understand
and engage easier with the film; as it provides
them with extra, background information about
the finished product that they are about to view.

Just to the right of the Browser is the Viewer, where you can

clip.
11. Below the Browser and Viewer is the Timeline,
where you assemble your video and audio clips
into a sequence to create a movie.
On the upper far right is the Canvas, which will
play whatever sequence of clips is in your
Timeline.
Final Cut has a set of green buttons at
the left hand site; if they are clicked
they will mute your video. This is useful
