Script Moodboard

Narrative Structures and techniques in my script In Enter the Void there’s constant first person shots, making the audience feel as though they are involved. It’s an effective method to use when the protagonist is on drugs, and it displays in a more straight-forward way how the character feels on drugs. Tzvetan Todorov- Equilibrium- Normal day to day life, boring feel and repetitive (use idle shots) like bed shots in Love. Start of Walter Mitty. Disequilibrium- Begins hearing voices in his head, telling them what they are doing, not what they are going to do. Voice knows them better than they know themselves. Start’s pushing them to do more risk-taking troublesome things. (have constant narrative of psychiatrist). Voice in the head shots- come from back of head, fighting thoughts or the protagonist conversing with voice are from chest, so see just characters hands. Equilibrium- Fake reality is shattered, cannot live in day dreams anymore or drug induced happiness. Day dreams- dream interpretation, consciously focusing on the unconscious over consciousness. Decide whether to do objective or subjective interpretation (Jung), more likely subjective. Icons, signs and symbols like inanimate objects mean a relationship. Propp’s Character Theory Hero/ False Hero-Protagonist, basically however loosely. Villian/ The donor- Voice Helper- Psychiatrist Princess- Either a child, theirs or a sibling Narrative Structures and techniques in my script Ferdinand De Saussure- Semiotics. Symbols- In this script show more of the signifier than the signified, leave it up to the audience to grasp the concept of it. Signs- Rule or convention- more with the psychiatrist, to help with the audience’s perception Icon- Flash pictures of thoughts, words that stick with the protagonist. Joseph Campbell and Carl Jung theories- Death of the ego, Equilibrium at the end, protagonist realises voice is the ego of what he underlying thought he should be, breaks it. End result- Realise all consciousness is one, not to worry at all about their perception. Metephors to explain spiritual depth, so scared to live in real life, worried about the after life and time and space. Realises that God and time are unfathomable to humans and should remain mysteries. Archetype- Plato Pure mental forms imprinted on the soul before it was born. Reacurring perception of the human mind to deploy realism to the protagonist. Carl Yung- Jungian A varying character than still withholds the basic pattern that relates to the audience. Include Introvert and Extrovert tendencies, voice defines them. To begin with can see people’s aura’s as different colours in the end can only see one colour, obviously mixed with others but all share one main colour.
