AS1: Task 6: Creating a Montage




School Life Montage


Task:

In a group, the task was to create a montage of everyday life in school. My group consisted of myself, Diana Adriano, Allegria Luyindula and Bradley Scamell. 

Plot/Idea:

A regular school day beginning at 8:45am, demonstrated school children rushing to get to their next lesson on time. The next scene is shot in the English corridor where we focus on Bradley studying for his English Literature exam. Scene three is shot at the front of the school on the field where we see myself and Diana running on the field during break time until it is time for the next lesson to commence. Finally we see Allegria and Diana saying goodbye to each other at the end of the day as they go their separate ways.

Characters:

Jasmine King
Allegria Luyindula
Diana Adriano
Bradley Scamell

Shown below is the storyboard used to create the montage and the final product.



In a group, we created the style of the Hollywood montage. After watching a few examples of montage taking place in Hollywood, my group & I believed it was best to produce a montage piece in this format.

As you can see from the montage, the idea was to create a comedic piece where we see myself and Diana running back and forth in front of the camera, just like how you'd see characters from a cartoon swapping from door to door in a corridor for example.
We hoped to gain experience from seeing montage moments in Hollywood films.

I believe the montage creates meaning as it depicts how Hollywood films can influence the media to be sarcastic/satirical and this is what this montage represents. Our sole purpose was to provide entertainment.

I believe that our montage was successful because we embedded the instructions for the task into our montage. Due to this accomplishment I can proudly say that we have created a successful montage.
