Rationale

My rationale for my new scene for Fantastic Mr Fox


When I picked the film Fantastic Mr Fox for my movie to work on this assessment. I Wasn't so sure what really made me want to do this movie but though into it more and I considered the type of style the movie have. Throughout the movie, I had separated some parts of scenes into sections to make it easier to decide what theme to go with in the movie. The speed, movement, characters style and areas that the movie have given us to explore which this made it interesting to look into. I worked around the idea of the main character Mr Fox with his super fast thinking and movement plus the idea of family safety. Throughout the movie, (since he is a fox) he is sneaky and likes to take risks. From one of the scene where he (MrFox) was in his study-room with Kyle to plan a job out, and the battle scene where everyone was underground preparing for battle and it becoming there place of home, I had than thought I could do something for Mr fox where he can still kind of do his secrete job of looking after the neighbourhood from the famers outside from trouble and do his spying as well where MRs Fox disagree on him doing. (But this time, I wanted to make it safe so that if Mrs Fox do finds out, he isn't out there sneaking around but just observing.

I interpreted this idea by having the room hidden where no one knows because the entrance is blended in with the wall in the hallway where a secrete tile will trigger the entrance to go in fast. (This shows the sneaky part of him where no one can see / go in). Inside is neat and rough at the same time coz without the wife cleaning after him, rubbish will be around the place.
Now done with making of my short part of the film area, I released that my scene can be described as either a extended part and or a new scene. But I would now say that it is a new scene since the idea of placing my part in the movie would be at the end. The idea is that at the end of the movie, where the family and Kyle follow Mr Fox to his discovery of an entrance to a supermarket. (From this part, I can imagine the rest of the movie if it continued on that they would be in trouble again when time goes by because of stealing food).  I have placed the secret hidden room in the environment close to the ladder entrance since no one would really thought that there will be a place near a dangerous area. The idea of Mr Fox having ideas with his fast thinking, what ever happens up there he can go and rescue or alert the rest of the underground animals since he can see the outside movements on his found and made objects like security screen, planning maps and the famers hills. To make him think more or energise him when he cant think with spare cider stashed on the side.

I have grounded my scene within the film with a fast speed camera movement. The idea wasn't used in the film at all since they used cut scene where it move one scene to another really fast where it kinda creates a fast connected scene movement from the camera. The perspective of the camera is from the eyes of Mr Fox since I had made my new scene based for him. We are guided by his vision from fast pace to get into his room and than admirer his achievement reward as a writer within his group from his friends where this part I added in to make him feel that his writing for the columns for the papers are being read since at the start of the movie, he questions if anyone even cares about what he writes out. This is a link through one part of the movie that I wanted to have a closure on to make it more interesting and fun with another achievement on his hand.

I chose a nice classical violin piece of music referenced to how Mr Foxed played a similar type of music but with a lot more different instrument playing in the background when Fox was making a speech in the scene of 'A Go-For_Broke Rescue Mission". With the music from the movie then is more of a happy and jumpy feeling but I had made it linked with Fox because of the sneakiness and the achievements he gets out of it. So I had a slowish violin movement piece to match the mood.
