Returning to School

When I returned to school I was placed in a group with Sarah, Brooke, and Emma. They had decided on a story mainly written by Emma. This is the Stroy she has written:

Five years earlier, the masked man witnessed the girls parents together with his own parents die in a mountain avalanche from his own actions of shooting at the mountain. His psychopathic mind believes that the girls are responsible for causing the avalanche.

The next scene focuses on 2 girls on the oval, Lauren and Beth. They are playing soccer but suddenly stop when they hear a noise in the bushes. They realise that it is only Nancy who joins them in their game of soccer. However, a few seconds later there is another rustling sound that makes all the girls turn around and jump! Standing there is a man all in black with a mask on and holding a gun. They scream and run in all directions.

The girls run fast to the public bathroom and Nancy opens the door to the first cubicle. The man is standing there. She screams, "Get out!” The girls then run to the library, they enter the glassed room and hide under the nearest computer desk. They think they will be safe now and breath a sigh of relief. They look to the side, the man is already there under the desk alongside them and is pointing his gun. Confusion shows on the girl’s faces, Nancy faints. Lauren and Beth run until they hear a gun shot, BANG! They turn to see that Nancy is dead. They want to go back and help her but it is no use. They know they can do nothing and will only get killed. They run on, towards their house, through the gardens and look back to see that no one is following them. Amongst tears and fear they hold hands as they sprint to their house all the time looking back to see if the masked man is following them.

Lauren unlocks the door, as they enter the room they find their dining room trashed. Standing in the middle of all the damage is the gunman holding dead Nancy by the hair. The girls jump in horror. It is a phenomenon that he got there before them. They each fall to the floor as he shoots them one by one. The last shot shows the masked gunman chuckling under his breath then the screen goes black.

Paragraph for Homework

Mis En Scene:


The Different parts of mis en scene are acting, setting, lighting and props. Without Mis en Scene movies would not nearly hav the same effect on people that they do. Johny depps serious nature is Juxtaposed by the humor of the scene. The Other the actors in this scene looked very vulnerable helpless, scared, shocked and innocent. In the next scene you meet a family. They are sweet and loving but they are also so unaware and unprepared for the fate they are about to meet. The horseman would definatly be the most powerful person in the scene. He was a very powerful, magical headless person. He comes out on a black stallion with his sword raised which gives you the idea he is on a rampage. There are many props used in this scene. There is the forest which is a prop and setting, the lantern, the skeleton, the sword and the heads. This movie would not work without the props.The settings in in this part of the film are the tree, forest, house and the village.The lighting is a key factor to making the mood of the film. In the forest the lighting is very dull and foggy and grey. Were as in the house the lighting in the house was more yellow and there was avery high contrast between the light and dark lighting. These things really help the way in which the movie is interpreted and how the viewer feels about the film.
