SESSION 2: FINAL IDEA‘THE BOY THAT CRIED WOLF’

Background to our final idea

Theorist Propp: From Propps theory there are 7 main characters, and from those 7 we used the Villain/ Antagonist known as Hermione Wolfgang. False Hero which is the boy called harry. However the false hero does not live up to the traditional concept of a false hero. He is not a hero because lies and he is deceitful and his complication hinders his success.

Narrative structureWe will be following the aspects of a linear narrative using the 5 stage narrative. However we have subverted the ending by leaving the play on a cliff hanger at the climax. Removing the resolution, will impact our audience to feel suspense of what may happen after.

MessageThe significance of the message is very similar to the fable, that you should not tell lies because they are harmful and the clique phrase about karma; what goes around comes around. Theses two specific messages illustrate what evidently happens but they can relate to our audience because it applies what actually happens in the real world as we faced with bullies.

CharactersHermione Wolfgang. The use of her surname gives a reference to the wolf. Identifying to the audience that ah is the villain. The boy Harry is similiar to the fable as he lies three times but as the narrative develops he tells the truth about the dangers of the villain but nobody believes him. Also apart from telling the lies he is also a bully which could also be presented to the audience as him being a villain for his indecent acts upon people.

5 STAGE NARRATIVE

• Exposition:

Split screen of the boy Harry and the girl Hermione getting ready in the morning and leaving their house and getting on public transport

• Development:

At college

Everyone rushes into the classroom, then the boys and harry talk briefly then Hermione comes in and the focus is on her and then she goes and sits next to harry. Then she introduces herself as the new girl. Then harry introduces himself to her however she does not really remake his introduction.

• Complication:

On the way out of class he approaches her trying to ask her out but she rejects him and embarrasses him. Then he goes to speak to his friend talking about how he embarrassed Hermione which she over hears. All of sudden as he walks down the corridor to he next lesson and then the lights turn off and the Hermione goes past him but does not realise only seeing a glimpse of her in the dark.

• Climax:

On the way home he tells his friend about the Hermione continuously lying saying she is weird and crazy and he embarrassed her. Harry then decides to take a short cut and walk through the woods when Hermione gets revenge on harry and assault.

CHANGES WE MADE TO THE NARRATIVE• We made changes to the narrative because as a group we felt that the narrative was too

complicated, and decide that we would make the story more simple to keep the audience in suspense with also the element of horror being illustrated near the ending instead of all the way through.

Exposition:

Split screen of the boy Harry and the girl Hermione getting ready in the morning and leaving their house and getting on public transport

Adaptation: Firstly harry will be getting ready and leaving his house and shown getting on public transport, but just before he gets on the bus he barges someone for no reason.

Development:

At college

everyone rushes into the classroom, then the boys and harry talk briefly then Hermione comes in and the focus is on her and then she goes and sits next to harry. Then she introduces herself as the new girl. Then harry introduces himself to her however she does not really remake his introduction.

Adaptation: As everyone rushes into the classroom then harry strolls into the classroom late, lying about why he is late and then he sits down and the teacher asks him for the homework and he takes someone else's homework . Then Hermione walks in .... (the rest of the development is the same)

CONT. THE CHANGES OF THE NARRATIVEComplication:

On the way out of class he approaches her trying to ask her out but she rejects him and embarrasses him. Then he goes to speak to his friend talking about how he embarrassed Hermione which she over hears. All of sudden as he walks down the corridor to he next lesson and then the lights turn off and the Hermione goes past him but does not realise only seeing a glimpse of her in the dark.

Adaptation: The complication stays the same except we decide to take out the part when Harry is walking down the corridor and then the lights turn of and he sees a glimpse of her in the dark. Also when he gets in embarrassed he pushes some boys around cause they laugh at him.

The climax is staying the same however we decided to have a resolution instead of leaving it at the climax.

Resolution:

After the assault is committed we are left thinking whether Harry is alive. Then the next day we just see a crime scene.
