Today we are finishing watching Boy (for the second time for most of us!). Then we are going to focus on the darkest part of the film (the abyss), and think about the role of music.
1. Boy is watching his Dad outside the pub from the car. Describe what he sees in his head as he watches at first.
2. Then reality kicks in and Michael Jackson disappears. What does Boy see happen?
3. Have you heard of the term "rose coloured glasses"? Look it up and see what it means. Write your own definition.
4. What is the name of the song playing in the car after the pub? Why do you think they used that song?
5. Think of a time when you had a great start to the day and then it went wrong. Describe it in a doc in your English folder. What music would you use for each part of the day, and why would you use that music?
Lighting is used to develop the atmosphere of a film.
- the scariest scenes, and the scenes without hope, tend to be in darkness - either at night or in shadow.
- the happiest scenes, and those with lots of hope and promise, tend to be in the daytime or in warm light. Warm light has a yellow tinge to it, but cool light has a bluish tinge to it.
Describe the lighting in the car scene just before Leaf is killed.
Extension activity:
Boy realises outside the pub the impact of his decision to show his dad where the marijuana is.
Describe what lead Boy to taking his Dad to the marijuana.
Explain what Boy learns from the experience.
At first boy imagines that his dad is dancing with the people that have come to beat him up but in reality he is lying on the groud with the other 2 crazy horses while get repeatedly kicked.
ReplyDeleteTerm "rose coloured glasses" refers to having or taking an optimistic outlook on life.
The song is called Mum by tui teka. The song seems to emphasise the sadness and how down the people in the car are during the scene where it is played.

The song used is called "Mum" by Prince Tui Teka. This song was likely chosen because it fits the tone of the film.
