What is closing and opening narratives?

 Open & ending narrative meaning that something is left unresolved allows the audience continue guessing and debating Closed narrative- Closed narrative is usually a film that has a complete ending to it this is usually done to give closer to the audience e to that it doesn't leave them in suspense which tend to include soundtrack editing techniques and a variety of camera language. A Toy Story 4 is a typical example of closing narrative as they all tend to have an ending about as this child lover even for some teens. For children this is more satisfying as they often like stories which have happy endings and a degree of certainty.

Production log week 4

Following on from the slow filming of last week, this week we decided that we would use new actors who are likely to be available at the same time as us. As such we filmed some scenes with kyla and muna as they are part of our group and we also filmed some scenes with dakaisha as she is friends with all of us and is always in school and very reliable, she was even in my film last year. We filmed the more dramatic scenes with marwan to build tension and we made sure that all of the present day scenes had been filmed as well as the flashbacks for the non continuity trailer. This way all our filming is complete, so we can spend the next two weeks editing to ensure that everything is done in time for the deadline and that we will have two completed trailers.

And I’m going to show her that she can’t hurt me like this.  Scene 2 (shots 4-7) I can’t even look at her without feeling betrayed. I need to make her feel the sort of pain that she made me feel. I needed to hear her voice again. But when I finally heard her voice it just made the hatred grow stronger I’m watching you… you will pay for what you did. I can picture her reading my words and I can almost feel her fear. It’s the fear I felt when she betrayed me… I don’t want to do this to her. She wasn’t my friend, and she never really noticed me. That was the problem. I couldn’t bring myself to click s...
