• Initial ideas;

Initial ideas;

• building up narrative enigma towards a person 

• showing seeing ( bedroom ) 

• indicators towards the type of person they are e.g. age genre era that its set in 

• see face of character after a build up of extreme close ups of body except face meanwhile a voice over , maybe the voice of the character or the voice of a narrator telling a story that has something to do with the person or maybe a quote of an iconic person in history , this would also set the era 

• show scenary

• long shorts of where they live - clothes they wear - cars etc 

Submarine

This screenshot is the from the first minute of the film , it Is a mid-close up of the main character (protagonist) showing Oliver Tate as a silhouette against the sea of his hometown. He is in the centre of the screen creating a symmetrical picture which I think helps emphasise him , the empty space around him helps us to grasp what kind of person he is without us knowing anything about him as the sea around him and the emptiness could be a metaphor for his vast and empty mind he has.

This screenshot is an extreme long shot showing his house at the top of the hill and his town that he lives in. this helps us to understand the setting and place in which the film is set from this we see that it is a small town in the countryside we also see later on that it is by the sea. The dark colours in this shot sets the mood that maybe it a dull town and maybe miserable.
