Q1. What were the aims of the script & 9 key frames? 

The purpose for the script is to create either a squeal or prequel, disruption or resolution scene of a previous indie film. In my case i made a disruption scene for a prequel to SKET. The script shows my MACRO of the representation of masculinity in women and what particular techniques are used, such costumes, props and juxtaposition between characters. I represented the masculinity of women in my 9 key frames by having my two actress be as different as possible (masculinity whys) to show the juxtaposition between the two characters. The key frames then go on to show a transformation in the more feminine character to show her developing her masculinity. I show this transformation via a montage of the masculine character "Stacy" training the initially more feminine character "Danielle".

Q2. What codes and conventions identified in the textual analysis essay were used in the script & 9 key frames?

I used the conventions that were originally used through out SKET, which were conventions of violence and the conventions of south london stereotypes. I showed these particular conventions by dressing my characters in hoddies, joggers and other types of "south london" related attire. I also colour graded the frames to show the bleakness of the and mysterious vibe of the original crime genre. My location also came into this as i picked a slightly run down council house to portray the conventions of a crime movie and of to relate to previous conventions of the settings in the original movie.

Q3. How was the location report used in the construction of the 9 key frames?

My location report was a extremely influential part of my 9 key frames. The particular settings and locations that i chose were very important in in the terms of how i wanted to represent my characters in them. Seeing as my characters are supposed to be south london girls who are quite burly and hardy, so i decided to set my 9 key frames in a council house and made it look a bit more "urban". I did initially have to re-make my location report because when shooting day came around, the original location became un-available.

Q4. How successful was the script & 9 key frames in achieving the aims?

My script and 9 key frames were relatively successful in terms of how i wanted to convey my MACRO through them. I managed to do most of this through my cinematography and composition to represent masculinity via juxtaposition throughout the frames. I do feel that i could have represented my macro slightly better making the montage based around something violent to better represent masculinity and include more conventions of violence.
