9 Frame Analysis

We found that these 9 frames most accurately represent the majority of the conventions that we included in our project.

1 - High angle shot, portrays protagonist as vulnerable, subverts the common convention of a female damsel in distress
2 - Close up shot, protagonist showing emotion, subverts stereotype that 'boys don't cry'
3 - Handheld mid shot from behind, establishes setting, shows protagonist in a playful mood as he walks into focus
4 - Handheld mid shot, again shows protagonist in a positive mood, reflected by light colours
5 - Low angle mid shot, introduces therapist in a position of authority, warm colours contrast the serious atmosphere
6 - Layered high angle close up shots, portrays hallucination, provides a sense of disorientation which reflects the protagonist's experience
7 - Handheld mid shot, tracks the angry/stressed emotion of protagonist
8 - Close up shot, protagonist breaks fourth wall inspired by the French New Wave movement
9 - Dutch angle mid shot, a freeze frame from the orbital shot which increases the shot variation

Alternative Storyboards

When it came to our filming days we had planned alternative shots that we could film incase we were not able to use the one we had planned. This was convenient as we did end up using these shots.

Change of title

After much deliberation, we felt that the title "Two of a Mind" did not suit our piece as well as it could have so we search for inspiration for a new title. 

We came across a poem called "And death shall have no dominion", and felt that "No Dominion" is a much more mature and fitting title, due to the relevance of death and how the protagonist struggles to provide 'no dominion' for his schizophrenia.

Potential Opening Scene

Some of our feedback from our first rough edit was to develop a new opening sequence in order to grip our audience more, here is a possibility that we came up with:

Due to our main character not having prime mental health, we figured he would see a therapist. From this we have thought of a way to bulk up our trailer and have a more engaging opening.

SHOT 1:
Set: A therapists office
Shot/transition type: Establishing shot, fade in, fade out
Audio: Melancholic piano, voice reading out a doctors report
Extra: Protagonist sat in chair, blank expression

SHOT 2:
Set: Same office
Shot/transition type: Cut in to mid shot of protagonist, fade in, shot distorts (like retro static on television)
Audio: Continued
Extra: Protagonist remains sat with same expression

SHOT 3:
Set: Same office
Shot/transition type: Distorts to cut in close/mid shot, fade out
Audio: Continued
Extra: Protagonist silently screaming/looks to be in extreme distress

*Continue with trailer*

SHOT 4: (some point later on in trailer when the pace picks up)
Set: Same office
Shot/transition type: Shot of antagonist's hand opening the door (cannot tell whose hand it is), quick cut
Audio: Continued
Extra: Side profile, slightly elevated angle

SHOT 5:
Set: Same office
Shot/transition type: Mid shot of protagonist, quick cut
Audio: Continued
Extra: As protagonist walks out through door the antagonist comes into view
