This involved my main character and 'The Helper' ,according to Propp's Theory, as the character aids the protagonist. In the scene, my protagonist has just experienced more bullying but a 'helping hand' comes towards the camera (placing the audience in the protagonist's position) in order to help her and save her life.
In terms of costume, I brought my protagonist a dark top seen earlier in the film, with a little bit of bright colour. This reflects the hope created by the introduction of 'The Helper'. I asked my other actor to wear a floral blouse in order to reflect tranquillity and purity. I chose this actor also because of her interesting hair, dyed green. This was to represent that very different people with contrasting appearances can be friends and share a commonality.
I waited to introduce this character until the end to show audiences that this does not always happen, and often the effects of bullying are permanent.
I referenced my detailed shooting script made in the pre-production stages to know all of the shots I needed and any movements involved.
Please find some of my unedited clips below...
In this scene it was important to me to use two-shots in order to convey the friendship and dependency. This emphasises the importance of people helping victims of bullying, saving their lives.
These also juxtapose with the shot-reverse-shots used previously in the film in scenes between the protagonist and antagonist, showing that the confrontation will stop now action has been taken (calling the helpline number and finding a friend.)
I can now edit this scene into the rest of my film. I think that I will end with the shot of the two friends walking together and laughing. I may also add a slow motion effect onto this clip to emphasise that the character is now calmer and happier.
