What happens in the beginning, middle and end of the story?

At the beginning Georgie gets kidnapped and gets his arm bitten off by Pennywise the clown after losing his paper boat down a drain. In the middle of the story, Georgie's older brother and his friends start to see the clown and they try to find Georgie and more children start to go missing. At the end  they kill Pennywise.


What are the most important events in the story?

The most important events are when Georgie gets kidnapped by Pennywise, the scenes where they encounter Pennywise, the scene where they go into the old house and try to save Georgie and when they defeat the clown.


How do we know where the story takes place?

There are sign posts in the background and the characters mention where they are and the surroundings can suggest where they are.


Who or what is the story about?

The story is about a demonic clown who kidnaps and kills children and feeds off of their fear.


How long does the story take in real time?

A few weeks.


What might happen next?

The clown might come back and they might have to defeat him again.


How does this story remind you of other stories?

The ending is quite happy as they defeat the clown and a lot of stories seem to end happily and positively.


How would you like the story to continue?

I would like Pennywise to come back and be defeated again.


Equilibrium: Georgie and his brother are in their house and everything is quite normal and his older brother makes him a paper boat.

Disruption; George loses his boat in a storm drain and when he goes to get it a demonic clown (pennywise) is holding is and tries to lure Georgie in but when Georgie tries to get away Pennywise bites his arm off and kidnaps him.

Recognition of disruption: Bill (Georgie's brother) wants to find his brother and him and his friends go looking for Georgie and they start to hear noises and see the clown and more people start to go missing so they keep trying to find Georgie.

Attempt to solve: Bill keeps seeing Georgie in his house and they keep trying t get rid of Pennywise and figure out what is happening.

New equilibrium: They defeat the clown


Non-linear films: IT Chapter 2, Titanic

    Excellent Molly! The recognition is just that Bill realises Georgie has been taken, the rest is all part of the attempt to solve.

  Thursday 24th September 2020 LO: to analyse a media text using Media Language In the Tenet trailer, mise-en-scene is used effectively to make the scenes more intense. For example guns and people fighting make it more intense , more interesting  and it implies that the film is an action film.  This would persuade  people who like action films t o watch the film.   Editing is also used in the Tenet trailer. For example some of the trailer is edited to be in reverse. This suggests that parts of the film are in reverse or happen in reverse. This makes the film seem more interesting and intriguing,  therefore more people will be likely to watch it. It trailer Camerawork In the trailer for  the film It, camerawork is used effectively to make the scenes more scary which makes the audience feel scared so people who like horror movies are more likely to watch the film. The camerawork makes it more scary because of the close ups of Pennywise (the clown). The ...

  Tuesday 2nd February 2021                                   Setting Why might a director choose the following settings? 1. An isolated house in a rural setting for a horror film. A director might choose this setting for a horror film because it makes it creepier if the house is in the middle of no where as the characters cannot escape easily and get help if they are in danger so it is more likely that whatever is after the characters will be able to get to the characters. 2. A big city for an action film A director might choose this setting for an action film because usually cities are very busy and usually a lot happens in an action film so it would make sense for the film to be set in a busy place 3. A small seaside town for a romantic comedy A director might choose thing setting for a romantic comedy because it is usually quite peaceful in a small seaside town and a romantic comedy would also ...
