This weeks workshop started off with the group sharing their pre-workshop tasks which was to re-write a popular fairy tail into a story book. I have chosen two to explain to you.
The first was from Ryan who chose the popular story of Robin Hood. Ryan wrote the story so that the main character was similar to Robin. It was set in a time where there were lots of poor people in the world and a few rich people. The main character gives money to the poor which is taken from the rich but doesn't realize he is doing it. That is all Ryan got up to.
The second was from Julia who chose the re-write Cinderella. In her version Cinderella was at a boarding school and wasn't able to go to the school disco because the evil principle wouldn't let her go. However nice teacher (fairy god mother) makes it possible for her to go. At the disco the evil principle gets exposed and the nice teacher becomes the principle.
The other thing discussed in the work show was short film called The Lemonade Stand which we deconstructed. From this we discussed were the film was located, which was out the front of the main characters house. We discussed the characters in the film. The characters were Benny, his Grandfather and Kevin their neighbor. We also discussed what the story was about. Kevin was trying to close down the lemonade stand that Benny and his Grandfather owned. The last thing discussed was the camera angles during the clip. When Kevin was looking at Benny and his Grandfather the camera angle was high to create a image that Kevin had the power. When Benny was talking to his Grandfather the camera angle was on the same level. Finally, when Benny and his Grandfather were looking at Kevin the camera angle was low. This also showed the power situation between the three main characters.
