My Disaster Movie

Lo: To effectively develop an idea for a disaster movie.

When & where is the film set?

Barking London 1987 then moved to Canada.

What is the overall mood of the film?

Happy but stressfull.

How will this show through the clothes they wear?

Mum will wear very smart but bright things positive children as well.

Going to be shot in a lot of different places, long shots,Ariel shot( from above)

Medium Close up, long shots,extreme long/side shot and a slanted angle shot.

It's in color, some shots will be from helicopters and a on hand crew on the floor.

What is the message behind the film?

Well I'm going to base it around an event from the past, The Edmonton Tornado, and the disaster of it that hit Alberta Canada.

 IT'S CALLED EDMONTON DISASTER

Genre: Adventure,Disaster.

Todovs theory:

Start they are in London and mum works in an office, gets offered a promotion but it's all the way in Edmonton Canada,She goes and talks to her children about it and they agree, they have a long road trip including Ariel shots of the car and a close up of them all in it they stop at a few places too.

They stay at a few hotels on the way there (takes 31 hours to get there on driving basis)

Then they arrive at the trailer park where they will be temporarily living, the neighbors aren't friendly at all and spit on them.The two children settle into their new schools and make friends , it starts to become very gloomy weather and cold.

Rumors going around that there may be a storm, mum has just settled into her new workplace with the new office job with all her co-workers who can be difficult but hard-working and Considerate.

Children get sent home early because the weather forecast has Taken a turn for the worst and they'll be a humongous storm coming and no one really knows what it is, mum's job is half an hour away from the trailer park so she has to leave asap considering the children schools are only a matter of minutes away. Mum get stuck right in the middle of a tornado and unfortunately she can't get out of her car fast enough.

The children are left in their trailer not knowing if the mum will be coming home, they go out to look for her so they walk a bit scared, they see a tornado Approaching and quickly hide under a tree log.

After it's all over they emerge from the spot they were in too see disaster everywhere they go back to the trailer park and it's destroyed, people lying on the ground Injured and in awful condition, there house is destroyed, all the houses are destroyed,they come and get picked up by their mum's old co-worker Mel who is lovely and will look after them,But the mother of the children her body was discovered in a car only 10 mins away from there old trailer house they attend her funeral a week later, the ending scene is of the children looking out of the back of Mel's car then seeing flash backs of the tornado and the sky is still grey,
