#28- Vertical or Horizontal
Why it Matters This can decide how the film is viewed and as it is right now close to all films use horizontal camera films which is never fully explained. So with my film it will be following the same concept but here is why. Vertical Can maximize screen space generally being how tablets and smartphones are meant to take pictures. Social media encourages the use of vertical film as many of the output is better set for vertical use. Can creatively show mood or atmosphere through use of certain aspects in the scene. and can be very suitable for interviews and documentaries since it captures exactly what is wanted without the other things being shown. Horizontal Can better replicate human view area. many film scenes are composed to be horizontal to capture all available such as landscape, groups, and even action sequences.

Movies With Narration Goodfellas (1990) Shawshank Redemption (1994) Deadpool (2016)- no available video Aspects These contain parts influencing the story but each slightly do it in a different way, Deadpool being funny, Shawshank Redemption setting the mood, and Goodfellas starting the story. There also seems to be a theme of 1990 movies using narration but some recent examples have executed it well. Using The concept By using it at the start of the film there can be less reliance in audio of the recording and more pressure onto the voice and music.

#26- Scene 5
Scene Setting Desk Talk Description The Mother and a significant figure in the school which has no contribution in the story other than this talk. Neither of the faces are shown which will help audio to be conveyed without relying on the actors. The talk will have to do with what happened and will finally give the name to the two characters with context. The mother will be stereotypically upset as she waves with hand motions that provide this. As the school figure shows to be trying to defuse the situation and state that they will find the students even though the younger brother will not speak about it. Contribution This will give the back bone for future reasoning of the story with showing background context and even having a explanation for the situation the family is in with showing how little the school will do on their own.
#25- Scene 4
The Setting The Chase- Description idea After Older brother sees bullies beating on his younger brother, he is initially shocked but then starts chasing after them where only a few shots are taken since it is not consistent with wanting a chase scene. Also it is unrealistic of a person to chase and fight three people his own size. So the chase will end with the older brother being out of breath then you can see the bullies escaping. Then the Older brother goes back to take care of the Younger brother. No info will be given here as this is mainly Action where context will be given in the scene after. Contribution This scene shows the bond between the two brothers and how much will be put up to save the other and can give reason for retaliation in the future as setting up the characters with trauma.
