Textual Analysis of Childrens Film - The Indian in the Cupboard

The Indian In The Cupboard

There is native American music at the start, this sets the scene.
While this music is on it shows credits which are set in front of the toy indian village.
This film is based on a Novel.
The locations are set outside the boys school, when his mother picks him up and also at their house and the skate-park after he recieves a skateboard for his birthday.
CGI is used on the little indian man in the cupbaord, to make it look more realistic.
The genre of this film is Childrens Adventure.
Makes you ask questions about the storyline when you see all of the Indian toys and animals set up.
The little Indian models are personified as real people and you identify with them quickly.

Corey - Acting

Filming will be in the refectory area.

Preliminary Task - Key Terms

Match on Action -
Editing Follows the Action. Follows from behind a character walking towards a door and opening the door then cuts to the other side of the door filming the charter walking through it.

Shot - Reverse - Shot -
Style of continuity editing. Filming one object usually an individual in a conversation then cuts to the other object and then back to the first object.

180° Rule -
Stay on the same side of the filmed characters and can be panned on a 180° parameter. Cannot switch to the opposite side of the frame as that would break the continuity editing and the 180° rule.The 180° rule is a basic guideline in film making that states that two characters in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. If the camera passes over the imaginary axis connecting the two subjects, it is called crossing the line.
