THE FILM RADIO DRAMA ARCHIVEV9 DRAFTv216

INT. CONTROL ROOM — WIDE, MOCKUP WITH A BOY

The wide of the control room with a real boy standing on the open floor at the right, photographic against the drawn room.

A MOCKUP FOR COMPOSITING, NOT A FRAME OF THE FILM. The boy is generated and is not Manan: he is here so the scale, the standing position and the eyeline can be seen at a glance. In the film Manan is a photograph of the real boy keyed into this plate. ONE THING IS WRONG IN IT AND IS LEFT WRONG: he faces away toward the door instead of left toward Coach Brain. The screen direction the wide fixed is Coach Brain on the left looking right, Manan on the right looking left. Use the position, not the eyeline.

The DNA of this frame

Phase. Phase 10 of 15, THEY INTRODUCE EACH OTHER.

Hero’s journey. MEETING THE MENTOR, late and inside the cave. The obstacle and the guide are one figure.

Element. THE HAND, and SACRED SPACE. A room treated as different becomes different.

The music, for Suno

Not written yet. Every shot needs two: the scene bed it sits in, and this shot’s own arrangement of it. The instruments come from the element in the DNA above.

What it means, and what it does

Not written yet. This frame needs its meaning set down: where it sits in the film, what it carries, how it moves the story on, and what it is doing to the audience. Ask before animating it rather than guessing from the picture.
