Outsiders tableaux and worldview wow this is a really long title and I am definitely not making this unfunny and overused joke because I couldn’t think of a pun


Have you ever wanted to cry…..

Well I have the perfect movie for you! The Outsiders is a sad yet entertaining movie that can teach you a lot about worldview at least It taught me a lot about having a different perspective on life than from other people.

The Outsiders is a book by SE Hinton in which two rival gangs, the soc’s and the greasers, experience life and the world in different ways. The socs are wealthy and privileged and live on the south side of town, they look down on the greasers who have little money and rough lives, or so we think. The socs often ‘jump’ the greasers for entertainment and harass them in the streets. The group of greasers that the story follows stick together like family even though they are not all related. The key players that the book follows are Jonny, Pony Boy, Dally, Two Bit and Soda Pop. These protagonists face challenges that make them question what they think they know in life. Jonny accidentally kills someone whilst protecting his friend from a fatal attack. The consequences lead them to running away, becoming hero’s and the death of both Jonny and Dally. During the story the reader/ viewer becomes very emotionally attached to these characters so their deaths are heart breaking.

 

At the start of the project we had to express our own world view, this was my mine:

World view
I believe that gaming is a sport but its an e-sport I believe this because I am very in to gaming
I like to make friends who also play video games
Beliefs Geography
I think beliefs are very important in your worldview because if you believe something different to another person then you will have a different worldview than theirs but different beliefs can drastically change a person e.g religion.
Geography is very important because if you come from a different place than someone then you might have different thoughts about something or you might have a different culture to them.

Following on from our beliefs we worked to understand the different characters and thier motivations, this helped me to feel more attached to the characters and think about how they would see things.

See my slide show below to discover more.

Next up we had to recreate a trailer for the movie in new groups. This was fun. We filmed different scenes from the movie that show key elements of the story: I edited them into a trailer.  If you want to watch it click below, I hope you enjoy the comedy subtitles I made.

Next we individually made movie posters for the well movie I guess, I took quite a bit of time making mine as I couldn’t find the colour change filter. I put a lot of effort into it though.

The left side is representing before they ran away as things are normal, well as far as normal goes for greasers. And the right side is after everything is going wrong.

However, we then made a group movie poster and I think it turned out much much better than my original one

In doing this I found out that making a movie poster is harder than it looks and it takes many different stages of design and critique and making every little detail perfect. It also made me think about important elements of the story and showing key characters.

Our final project element was to complete a tableau showing one section of the story that we would present on exhibition evening. My group looked at expressing the fountain where Jonny killed Bob. We had to demonstrate it as it would have been during the time it was set and also in modern day. We had to demonstrate Elena’s of world view.

We chose time because drive in movie theatres were only popular for such a short period of time.

 We chose beliefs because Cherry changes Pony’s beliefs of what socs are like. She says “things are rough all over”, referencing how greasers have it tough and socs have it tough as well.

 

Overall the outsiders taught me that different people can view the world in different ways and have different ideas about the same thing or event, they can have different experiences based on their upbringing and ideas of the world.
