INDEPENDENCE

Narrative Stage 1 Group A4


We have been asked to produce a short narrative that has to be two minutes long and will be an eight-week project, this has to be finished by Christmas and has to be done within a group. Our group consists of five people Hollie, Tom, Sherri, Toby and Alex. We have chose to use the minimalist approach as there is no affect to the characters life and the ending will be pretty similar to the beginning. The title of our project is going to be Independence as our project is about the life of a student and them finding about how they can use their independence. The Genre of the Project will be of the Thriller Genre, we will be giving you a look into the life of a new student with an interesting and unusual twist towards the end. The key events that will be played throughout the film are as follows * Student getting ready for a night out-cocaine and alcohol ingested
• Always a students point of view, you never see the student
• Student leaves apartment in a bad way and goes out
• Student goes to nightclub/bar, we don’t see this
• Clock with time going bye, and fast traffic
• Pan shot off student from the top of the toilet being ill
• Student helped out by a ‘friend’
• Student is revealed in final scene through a dramatic twist
We have took our inspiration from a prodigy music video (smack my bitch up), we are expecting the effect on the audience to be shock and hoping for them to enjoy and be intrigued with the turn around ending.

GROUP A STORIE

Daffy Duck caught a bus into town, and goes to a shop to buy a scratch card, he then realises he has nthin o scratch the card with. in a frantic search to reveal his destiny he reaches fot the nearest object which happens to be an empty crisp packet he attempts to scratch the latex from the card and is unsuccesful. As the frustration mounts he begins to search the pavement, as he feels a sharp pain in his thumb as he has rubbed his hand over a pin badge. in his anger he takes the badge and scratches the card so aggressively he defaces tthe numbers, he falls to the floor disheartened and wraps his bleedin thumb in the remains of the dry leaves, with tears running down his face he takes his lighter from his pocket and burns his unsucessful scratch card.

My First Post

Well im guessin i should write i little about myself.... well this is a new start for me, a turning of a new page in the life of Hollie! I am sooo excited to be here at Nottingham Trent and loving the uni life and the course i have chosen which u must all know by now is Multimedia!! I think i should give you a little background information on my fab life hehe!! WELL i originally wasnt going to come to university as when i was studyin my GCSE's i was also trainin to be a hairdresser as i was told i would achieve all grades of D and below! WELL they was WRONG!! i was amazed when i achieved 2 A's, 6C's and 1 D (we'll ignore that one), SO then i decided if i can achieve that then maybe i should do something a little bit more for myself so i attend Hallcross Sixth Form in Doncaster which i loved almost as much as uni! i met some great friends there and learn't alot more about myself and how i can work off my own back and depend on myself and came out with some decent grades, and believe in myself (aww so sad) and then i thought well iv achieved all this and i want to achieve more, and now this brings us back to where we are at now, and im here having fun and tryin to work hard and hand in my work and find my group! My first couple of lectures were scary as it hit me GOD this is real its happenin but now iv jus got into the lectures and realised im doing what i love!!! so sorry bout the essay but now you all know me! bubye for now and if your looking at my picture this is just to show you all i can be fun when im not workin hard!!
