Task 6: Narrative Genre Scenario Evaluation

Task 6: Narrative Genre Scenario Evaluation

For this task I had five minutes in which to show the genre I had chosen (Drama/Thriller/Noir) for this there were a number of things I had to do and did to show this genre firstly the script needed to show the actor (Robin) what the mood and meaning was towards this scene when that was done I had to chosen the right location, the right time of day and film during a raining day in which I managed all of these things.

My location was very dark and dwell in when something happen that was the only thing that I would want the audience to feel while watching it, I feel like I got the type of mood and meaning through these elements but mainly through my actor (Robin) in which I feel his great acting really showed the true mood he was feeling and that covered the drama genre. While the thriller was to kick in when he left the car with a gun heading towards the house that’s when I put in my music, which was from the hit series “Breaking Bad”, and anytime I hear that music I feel real tension and that’s when I feel the drama and thriller collide and that’s exactly what I wanted to happen so the audience don’t know what’s really going on so it leaves a bit of mystery in the storyline and gets them wanting more.

I feel like the overall location and setting it a night in a dark area during a raining period really sets the mood up for a noir film the only thing I didn’t add at this moment in time too the storyline was a narration which most noir films have in them, I done this because I wanted to leave the audience feeling tense before I fully set up the storyline and show them how that character got there what lead him there and what are the after effects.  

For the Narrative side of this scene was to show one person so it confuses the audience in who is the protagonist and who is the antagonist, as in the scene you have a character in which you haven't been introduced too all you know is he is upset and he is in a dark place. I showed this through again the lighting and the acting skills of my actor (Robin), and then you don't get too see the person behind the door so makes the audience think why is the guy pointing a gun at him is he the protagonist about to kill the antagonist and then final we also get introduced to a a third character which a gun pointing at the character with the other guy then confuses the audience further in who is this and why is he pointing a gun at him makes them not sure who is the protagonist. 

As a narrative in general I didn't want people to know what was going on I wanted them to work for it and use there head to guess what was going on as I wasn't going to give them an answer they needed to work it out for themselves and I done this with no use of dialogue and just music over the scene in which he walks towards the house so it really gives the audience something to really think about.
