Class exercise - Storyboard Workshop

So the exercise is to think about a certain scene, image etc. from our film that we want to convey and then construct a one word sentence about that image.

So image in my head is a scene referencing the Raft of The Medusa with the cannibalism, ultimate crossover between sheer hunger and excess. Also referencing the film Society (1989) where the phrase 'eating the rich' is literally made true with this huge, orgyistic, cannibalistic end sequence. Now, its not referencing this directly, it's just the ideas that interest me and I want to convey this meaning in my own visual language.

There's drama and tension in the bodies, intense chiroscuro, taught limbs and desperation conveyed through the composition.

In my scene, I want to reference this visual language but have it have more of that conflation between extreme hunger and extreme overconsumption.

"Upon entering a clearing, a writhing mass of bodies come into view, each eating each other with desperation, their taught limbs reminiscent of a baroque painting."

Playing around with classic ideas about montage with cutting between wide and extreme closeups, symbolism pf a rotting still life and the cannibalistic scene of destruction.
