3/20/20:
- Check out the Literacy Shed, Ruin by Wes Ball
- https://www.literacyshed.com/ruin.html
1. Watch short animation via Literacy Shed, Ruin website
This hyper realistic short animation (8mins 30secs) is set in a post-apocalyptic landscape of derelict buildings which are slowly being taken over by the futuristic flora and fauna.
The film begins with stunning establishing shots of the setting before we see a large container being ejected from the ‘Haven Nanotech’ building.
The main protagonist is then seen exploring the container. He discovers a strange mobile device which seems to direct him to a mystery research facility. As he is trying to make sense of what is on the screen a sound of rotor blades warns him that he is in danger and to make his escape.
2. Questions to respond to:
- When is this story set? How do we know?
- What do you think has happened?
- How did one man survive or are there more?
- What is trying to stop him and why?
- What will happen next?
3. Writing opportunities:
- Describe the settings in the opening scenes.
- Create an internal monologue for the character. (See note below)
- Creating an internal monologue for the character.
Write what the character is thinking as he moves through the landscape.
He may be recalling the events as if they happened in the past.
Example
It was a day like any other. I spent it looking for clues in one of the thousands of Nanotech buildings around Nanosaki. I pushed the container to the edge of the 87th floor and watched it fall down. The noise it made thundered around the empty buildings but there was no one there to hear and it was the only way I was going to get it open.
