Acting Final Project WIP

The scene begins with a simple, but effective transitional framing device. The previous scene left a feeling of heroism and epicness since the two main characters, Vi and Powder, were framed against a gorgeous city they want to make "respect them". Then we transition to a chair that frames the main subject of the last scene so that the eye of the audience will smoothly follow what needs to be seen and understood. Then we notice the dark blues and jagged teeth on the chair which instantly signals to the audience that we are going into a very different tone and scene. Something seems "fishy".

After a slow zoom out and a very quick pause, we then get exactly only 4 frames of sudden movement of a man being thrown into the chair.

The scene cuts to the chair being pushed back with many leading lines toward the subject in the center.

As the feet stomp down and act as more vertical framing lines, the cat simply just yawns in the midst of this sudden transition and chaos. This bit of character acting signals to the audience that something seemingly is very wrong and strange here; immediately further reinforcing the new tone.

He begins to look around frantically in all directions. Left, right, up, diagonal left and right up. This is character acting that obviously and immediately shows franticness as opposed to every other character in the scene moving slowly, methodically, and almost nonchalantly.

He even moves backward and away from the screen as a man pushes forward into the frame and then wipes the screen to transition to what he was looking up at.

A scary, giant man shot at an angle that is not only from the low angle perspective of the blonde man but also at a skewed angle. The lines of movement from the previous frame even follow the body of the big man which further makes the transition smooth.
