Planning: final idea
FINAL IDEA
Walking towards camera - cant see face until very end (oldish man)
Flashbacks to race - commentating
cuts back to walking
flashback to the race with more cars - commentating getting more intense, "omg james is gunna win"
Flashback again walking, music instenifys
BLACK SCREEN crash sounds, commentator - -omg i dont believe it - james parker has crashed on the final corner" sad music fades in as newspaper is shown in cut, still commentary
Cuts back to the man, comes to light "this is my story"
Planing: ideas
planning ideas
First Idea
- Narration of current character
- I was only 19 when I saw my dad being taking to hospital, i didn't know this would be the last time i ever saw him alive. (muffled coughing
- Cuts between now and flashback
- Up and coming racer crashes because dad dies, now he's back for first race since injury
- FLASHBACK:
- WAS:young, over confident (stupid because young), not afraid of anything.
- brother telling him there dad died.
- Filming pictures of dad and son
- Walking towards car, getting ready for the race.
- Newspaper, "CRUSHING NEWS, young racer's dad dies of cancer, leading to a near-fatal crash
Showing crash - long shot of car, commentator talking over it . cuts to black screen with crash sound happens and echo's out, then fades to several newspapers in a close up and medium shots, with sirens and screams. Narration over the top?
Second Idea:
ALL FLASHBACK,
engaged girlfriend: just broke it off,
Filming pictures of gf and bf
Argument
Forth idea
engaged girlfriend: just broke it off,
Filming pictures of gf and bf
Argument
Third idea
- Driver out of racing
- injured bad
- Narration over the top - "the worst thing that could of happened to me, happened 10 years ago on this day"
- "But it wasn't too bad, as now I own the greatest racing team in f1, and this is my story of my days in racing, and my days after"
- Owns a racing team now
Forth idea
Filming pics of dad, coughing, crys, he dies.
racer is heartbroken, but he has a race coming up so he needs to get his head sorted.
"It was the day before my big race when my life was turned upside down" dad dies
"Now i have to do my dad proud, and answer all the critics that thought i wouldn't race"
"This is my time, im doing this for my dad" FADES TO BLACK, TITLES COME UP
"Unbreakable
Legistics
logistical positves
1. We get to use the track
2. We are allowed to use the cars
3. We can film in school hours
4. We can film in the school
5. We can use students as extras
logistacal negatives

iconograpy in Rush
Analysis of the opening scene of “Rush”
Looking for iconography
The iconography of car action in this scene is very strong and shows up from the second the scene starts.
The scene starts with the tittle sequence, where there is a background of the sky, and the titles are appearing. While all this is happening the first iconography starts to make itself known, some mumbled voices start to talk and become more clear after a few seconds, it becomes clear that there racing commentary voices of past races. This signifies that the film has something to do with racing.
After the tittle sequence there are many more iconography’s and the most obvious of them all are the close up shots of the actual race cars, tis signifies speed,danger and implies the film is definitely about F1.
There are also many other icons such as the costume of both the main characters and the backup cast. The main characters both Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Bruhl are both wearing professional race jumpsuits, signifying professionalism and power in the sport.
And the background cast are the ones working there who are wearing yellow water prof overcoats, signifying that they are workers, and there are also paparazzi, who are all wearing normal cloth but all have cameras, this signifies that this is a well known sport.
