APPLIED TODOROV'S NARRATIVES THEORY TO THE FILM IT.

-

1. A state of equilibrium

A teenager called Bill Denbrough is spending some quality time with his younger brother Georgie and gives him a paper boat and Georgie goes out onto the street with it and sails it along the rainy streets.

 2. A distruption of that event or peaceful setting (disequilibrium)

Georgie is killed by the clown Pennywise, while reaching into the dark drain to retrieve his paper boat from the evil clown. Then in the following summer, Bill and his two friends are bullied by a gang and Bill asks his friends to come to the marshy wastelands to see if his younger brothers body washed up there.

 3. A recognition that the disorder has occurred

A kid called Ben Hanscom learns that the town has been plagued by unexplained child disappearances for years. He runs into Bill and his friends, and joins their group. Two other people join the 'losers' group- Beverly Marsh and African american student Mike Hanlon. After each member of the group encounters terrifying phenomena in various forms, they finally realize that they are all being terrorized by the same entity called "Pennywise the Dancing Clown". They also find out that the clown awakens every 27 years to feed on the children of Derry before returning to hibernation.

 4. An attempt to repair the damage of the disruption

 The Losers Club descend into the sewers and find the underground lair of the clown, and they find Beverly in a cationic state. Pennywise attacks the group and takes Bill hostage. After reaffirming their friendship and overcoming their various fears and rescuing Bill, the manage to defeat Pennywise after a brutal battle and he retreats. Billy then finally accepts his brothers death and is comforted by his friends.

 5. The NEW equilibrium

 As the Summer ends, Beverly informs the group that she had a vision that they were still fighting the clown when they are adults. The group of friends swear an blood oath that they will return to Derry as adults and if the clown returns, destroying it once and for all. Before Beverly leaves to go and live with her aunt, Bill reveals his feelings and they kiss.

DOCTOR, PATIENT JOKE VIDEO PROJECT

What is wrong with this video; At the beginning, there is a shot of her opening the door and then opening the door again.  The Editing Method: I imported my short video on to iMovie and I clicked on new event & positioned the clips from my video on there. Then I want to the iLife sound effects and scrolled through the different sounds until I got to the sitcom laughter section (I picked the 0:17 seconds sound). I put this sound at the end of the video where the doctor doctor joke is said by the patient and the doctor because I released that it would make sense to put it at that part, instead of the beginning or the middle because the audience will most likely be confused as to why there is laughter there, when nothing funny is being said. Then, I scrolled through the iMovie sound effects and found a squeaky metal door sound, which I used at the beginning of the video, where the patient opens the door and comes in.

UPDATE ON WHAT I HAVE DONE Thursday 7th Dec

Filming: I have been doing the filming on my own in Hadiah's absence (classmate). So far I have been able to film half of the scenes we have and I am steadily making my way through each of the scenes we have. I have filmed scenes 1, 2, 4, 6 so far.  Some of these scenes have gone well in terms of filming i.e. on some of the shots I have filmed I used white balancing, I managed to get a good voiceover to accompany scene 6. But, I need to work on using the tripod more when I am filming so that the footage will not be out of focus on the screen. Editing: I have been using Premier Pro to edit the footage that I filmed for my trailer. When I was learning how to use it in class, we edited a clip on Premiere Pro which I enjoyed and found easy to use after I finished editing the clip.  Screenshot of Wolf of Wall Street clip (my version): Here is my document of feedback
