18th December - FIRST DAY OF FILMING.

Finally, after months of planning and research we began to film today. I have to give credit to other members of the group for bringing in much needed props and to have a desire to get some filming done before the Christmas holidays.

A quick overview of what was filmed today:

We started on part 2 with the briefcase scene. The most difficult part was to find a place to film, which had changed from our original plans. I thought I should take a few pictures to show the new setting we have found which we believe has serious potential for our film. From what has been filmed so far, the dark lighting has had a serious impact to the professional quality of our film. The camera we are also using is of high quality and every shot seems to offer perfect picture quality.

The pictures of the new scene:
Both of these pictures show the new scene where we are filming part 2, the briefcase scene. As you can see by the picture on the right, the window offers a certain amount of light providing just the right amount, symbolising the darkness of these two criminals lives.

Understanding film reviews.

In this blog I have decided to view certain film reviews of a similar film to ours, relating it back to one of Shane Meadow's classics, 'This is England'. I want to gain an insight on reviews from both the audience and also the more commercial media including newspapers and film magazines.

Firstly, I visited IMDB to view user reviews. I have decided to analyse both the positives and negatives and hopefully this will have an effect on how we film our film to try and improve on the negatives and follow the positives.


POSITIVE REVIEW OF THE FILM FROM AMATEUR REVIEWER.

This post shows the real positives of the film from a viewer. Certain key points that are of extreme relevance include where ‘Rathko’ admires the ‘authenticity of the film’. This highlights the need to understand the audience and current issues of the time. Relating our film to petty criminals, stealing without knowing the consequences is popular within Britain. People can relate and it makes their viewing more cinematic and appealing.
Another key point to mention is where the film is described to be ‘at times it’s as though you’re watching a documentary’. In the context it relates to how the film, looks simply, great. In this case, the reviewer respects the effort placed into this, which our group already understood was a massive factor that we needed to act upon. In our films case, this would be making sure that our film does not look like it has been filmed within school, it needs to look realistic, and therefore good


NEGATIVE REVIEW OF THE FILM FROM AMATEUR REVIEWER.


This screen shot shows quite the opposite review and of certain factors we may want to avoid. It was very difficult to find a review of such a great film that was negative and even with the one found, the writer of the review lacks knowledge of how to understand the benefits of a great film. But this was the best review to analyse because some points he makes have some relevance, and hopefully we can avoid such negative points that have been established.

Firstly, the first paragraph criticises that ‘It’s just another’ relating the film to other films that have already existed, so we need to make our film exclusive and different from any other film to prevent reviewers coming out with such negative comments. It will create more interest for the viewers if they see a film which has no relevance to any other film created and is unique.

Secondly would be that ‘oslane’ picks out on a point which I can slightly agree with. He picks up on the unrealistic plot line of two members becoming close, even though they would hate one another if it really was as realistic as ‘Rathko’ describes it to be. We need to make a flawless plot which will not alter a member of the audiences opinion by an unrealistic storyline and an experience which is not likely to happen.

The next review has a more objective opinion due to being from an official reviewer, being 'Dan Jolin', an Empire Magazine Editor. He is more likely to feature both sides of the argument due to his position and his job. The consumer, especially over a magazine that is solely based on movies, want to read reviews that tell both the positives and negatives to a film so they can make a judgement on whether to watch it or not. Dan Jolin's interpretation and review of the film was very interesting:

OBJECTIVE REVIEW OF THE FILM FROM PROFESSIONAL REVIEWER.
 

Dan Jolin’s expertise manage to find a respectable negative point in ‘This Is England’ and one that luckily we indirectly avoid due to this being the one film that will be examined. Yet, we still have to make it different from the many others that will be examined which was picked up on from the amateur negative reviewer. Our film has to be unique to capture the audiences attention and to create something different and interesting.

The positive point that Jolin mentions would be something that has also been picked up from one of the amateur reviewers, yet this time it being the positive reviewer. He mentions the ‘sheer quality of performances’, relating to the high level of acting. This is obviously a must for any film for it to be professional and to be treated seriously. We are school kids, yet acting has to be at a high level for it to become such a great as Meadow’s films. It is going to be hard work, but it will be worth it for the end result.




 
 

17th December - Start of filming.

From this point on, filming is our top priority. We have come to the conclusion that filming is a necessity so that we can progress and start on the evaluation after filming. From experience, we understand the need to plan this process and have with our one hour lessons we have decided to split it into two parts:

1. Film. This will take up three quarters of our lesson and is for film work only. On certain occasions we may need to come in slightly earlier so that we make sure we have this full forty five minutes to film so that we can progress with Media Studies.

2. Diary. We all understand that to update the blog on our current process is of extreme importance and so we have planned that we will need at least fifteen minutes to complete this in. Similar to AS levels Media Studies, I came up with the idea to form a documentary style top of an update, purely because it will intertwine both filming and the diary into one and will show a more hands on approach to Media Studies and I am going to include this within this year.

Now we have planned our timetable around Media, we have to make sure we are completely organised so when a lesson does arise, we can film straight away. This includes making sure all props exist within the schools premises. I have started to collect props, and have left them in school so we are fully prepared for our next lesson. Certain props I have brought in include:
 
- 1 x balaclava - terrorist scene
- 2 x puffa jackets - terrorist scene
- 1 x fake gun - terrorist scene
- 1 x Egyptian scarf - terrorist scene
- 1 x chain - torture scene
- 2 x ties - briefcase scene
- 1 x shirt - terrorist scene

Props are needed to created a more realistic filming process, so I am not holding back on what is needed so I can further our groups progress.

But props do not just have to be brought in externally from school, using the initiative I decided to use what was already in school to help us. This includes a large, rustic VCR camcorder which we can use for the hostage scene and also a large amount of tools borrowed from certain workers around the schools premises.


Hopefully by next lesson, other members of the group would have started to bring in a larger number of props so that we can start filming and progress.

I took several pictures while we were collecting certain props and deciding their relevance in our film:

This picture shows Ed taking a picture of one of the guns I brought it, a realistic yet fake gun. The camera he is using has been provided by a member of staff for greater picture quality.

This picture shows Ed taking a picture of one of the guns I brought it, a realistic yet fake gun. The camera he is using has been provided by a member of staff for greater picture quality.
 

 This picture shows a variety of props that have the potential to be used. When the picture was taken we were just looking at the props each other had brought in to see if they were of high enough quality to be used.
 

This final picture shows the balaclava and one of the Egyptian scarves that has been brought in. Just from this picture (excluding the school uniform) you can see the potential of both of these props.

13th December - Diary update film preparation.

Film preparation was our main aim today. We WILL film tomorrow with are now wide selection of props which we can use. We have just been gathering our props and selecting which ones for certain shots we will use. This is a photo of some of our props:

This is one of the guns we will be using for the hostage scene.



This is the banner we will be using for the hostage scene. 


To take these photos for ease, I have used the macs, placing them on a time limit and then situating myself in front of the camera with certain props.

30th November - Characters

In today's lesson, we believed it was finally time to decide upon who was to be playing certain characters of the film. We believed it would only be fair to share equal responsibilities on acting and also filming to gain the most praise we could indivdually. These are the results of the characters:
  • Torturer - Oli
  • Main character - Hostage - Ed
  • Main characters partner - Alex
  • Terorrists - All three of us and others*
*includes other actors that are not actually in our group. 

Finally the characters have been established and now we can begin to film. Each of us individually have started to bring in props so we have all our props ready to start filming.





4th November - Props

This is just for personal use because Oli has actually created a 'Prezi' on props.

Within the 'Prezi' there are costume ideas and also the props we will be using. Now all we need to decide is about how brings in these props and costumes and then we are looking to start filming by next week.



11th December - Audience Profile.


Any film created has to reach out to a broad audience to gain a larger following and popular reviews. A film which is already linked to its consumer’s interests is half of the effort to create a great film. Our film (like any film) is going to have its key target audience, but we are also going to offer our film to all different genders, ethnicities, age categories and so on to reach out to a broader audience to expand the viewing figures. Our genre currently would be a crime thriller which obviously has limitations to certain age groups and other aspects. So firstly our film has to be placed within the 'British Board of Film Classification (BBFC)' and we would place our film within the '15' category.  

 
This may seem very exclusive and to exclude the younger generation, yet without this rating we would have to change large amounts of our film to abide by these regulations, which would in turn exclude members of the older generation who would then see the film as aimed at younger members of the public. At least with this, the older generation would be more inclined to watch a film which is aimed at adults. So a minimum age of 15 to a generous age of 35 and over would be a target we would be aiming for.
As part of my research I thought I would question certain people, in different places and of different age groups. When I collected my results it became obvious to me that the majority of people that would be interested are from the male genre, linking the crime genre to films such as 'Snatch', 'Layer Cake' and 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' to name a few. Summarising the questionnaire results shows a 65% divide of the male gender, yet females are not to be excluded, and will be drawn in by the aspect of the thrilling genre. Social class were less obviously divided with people from all different parts of the spectrum, enjoying the film.



I also asked questions on what our potential audience would enjoy in our film and got a few responses back which interested me. Certain questions I asked included:

Asked to: Deborah Rose, 45, Female.
QUESTION: 'What makes you want to see a film?'

REPLY: 'Anything that makes you want to see more. If you don't know exactly what's going to happen it makes the whole experience a lot more fun! That's what you go to see a film for... for the enjoyment and the fun!' 
This has benefitted our audience research as we can summarise the above reply to creating further enigmas in our film. If we create a film where the viewers have no idea about certain events, or events that are going to take place then the experience will be more enjoyable. In our current film storyboard we have created the on-going enigma of what is placed in the briefcase. Other films that link to this enigma would be throughout the film ‘Dead Man's Shoe’s’ with the viewer not being able to distinguish that the main characters brother, has actually deceased and it is all on his imagination that he is there.

Perhaps I expected this response from any age, or gender. Whether the film is of any genre, where the audience feel compelled to watch more is a great success of any film. Any film has to be "enjoy(able)" and we have to mould the need to "make... (the audience) want to see more" around our genre.

Asked to: James Doyle, 23, Sheffield, Sales Assistant at HMV.
QUESTION : 'What are your favourite aspects to a film?'
REPLY: 'A film is not just based on the screenplay and the animation. It's a combination of the music, the freeflow of the editing that makes a film'


This has swayed our focus away from the just creating a great shot film and we have started to place more emphasis on the music throughout and the non-diagetic sound placed for sound effects and emphasis. We will also spend a larger time period editing to create an almost effortless movement between shots which will also add to this and how this reply has also suggested that a great film is the combination of the screenplay, music and editing.


This question was designed for somebody I knew would have more knowledge upon films in comparison to the average person. The interviewee on this occasion obviously has a key interest in films and technology as a whole to be able to gain a position and HMV, which has a large selection of films. A more detailed response is what I was expecting and his age is almost our perfect target audience. In general, more people around this age are more likely to be tech-savvy and more interested in the latest releases so to gain an insight from a member of the population of this age was extremely useful.
Throughout asking the questions I believed that if I became aware of who the people were I was questioning, by what brand of clothing they were wearing, certain foods they were eating and so on then I could wrought my results and final film to the viewer’s preferences. Many of the males I asked seemed to pay a lack of attention to what they were wearing and had an urban, rough look. One that caught my attention seemed to have ‘Monster Energy Drink®’, a very expensive energy drink showing the fast paced lifestyle that a crime thriller would link to. An example would be that in the chase scene with the quick shots.

Summarising my results would be that overall I can establish certain key factors that would help my final production. Focusing on popular public opinion is extremely important to us, because ultimately they will be watching our film in the future.  From what I have learnt our target audience would be between the age of 15-35, mainly focusing on the male genre but not excluding the female market. Yet I have established what sort of clothing and products our potential audience would be into I will not single out any possibilities to increase our fan base to gain the maximum amount of support from all social classes and so on. The questions I have asked have helped for me to gain an insight on how to improve our film to relate to the target audience. Linking to this will be understanding certain brands that are consumers are into including foods, drinks and also clothing. All of these will help our group to challenge our competitors in the potential market by giving our viewers what they want to see and love helping to draw them in further to our final production.

5th December - Diary entry update.

 Throughout our media lessons recently I have decided to create an audience profile to examine in more depth to who would be interested in our film so we can change some ideas to match our key audiences preferences. So my most recent post examined a closely linked crime/thriller film being 'Dead Man's Shoes'. We also tried to sort out certain props to bring in so we can start filming which we are looking to do for next week. We are also sorting out certain actors to play the characters so we can start straight away for our next lesson and to begin our film!

Current actor positions:

Ed - The main character - Hostage.
Oli - The torturer.
Alex - The other character involved in the briefcase scene.

27th November - Video progress vlog

Brief script for vlog

Within today's lesson and one of the previous lesson's I have been creating a descriptive blog on an influential director and screenwriter to us as a group being the highly successful Shane Meadow's. We have a lot of respect for him and some of his films, mainly of 'This Is England' but of also others including 'Dead Mans Shoe's' and Once Upon a Time In The Midland's'. I thought this would be helpful to us as a group to understand and to watch some of his films in more detail. We have now been able to relate some of our ideas to his and have been able to take notes on certain factors that have interested us. The key point we picked up on was the environment where certain films of his were shot, especially that of This Is England and the scene where Shaun and other members of the subcultures are featured within abandoned houses. We believe that this could be a possibility to film the drug raid in where the two members who have stolen the briefcase are. It will add to the urban feel and the gang life. But yeah, next lesson I am thinking about creating an audience profile to find out what sort of people would be interested in the film we are going to create or change according to our results.

27th November - Similar film director - Shane Meadow background




                                                                               



Shane Meadows 
Filmography

Shane Meadows is a successful, is an English film director, screenwriter, occasional actor and BAFTA winner. 


The two film posters either side show two of his most prestigious films, where for both of them they have been nominated and awarded, winning 21 awards and being nominated for a further 19. The majority of his films relate to petty crime, gang life, subcultures and are all set in a urban, rough environment. We take a lot of inspiration from him and look up to many of his films for ideas, props and his characterization of certain characters.

Obviously our film idea differs in some respects but after viewing several of Shane's films, are ideas may start to correspond to the extremely successful director to help us to achieve a similar, powerful response from his audience. A film is not just the screenplay, but is a corroboration from all different aspects to create a film like no other. Meadow's perfect understanding of how to create emotion for the audience through music, an original idea, a strong script linked with the acting involved. All of these points may not be completely Shane Meadow's idea but he has at least had an impact for all of these to come together so smoothly and under his supervision, creating a quality collection of his films. A key example of this would be how 'Dead Man's Shoes' and how it received such a high rating from IMDB 'the world's most popular and authoritative source for movie, TV and celebrity content.'.

Within the 'Top 5000' films and also rated '7.7/10'.
This Is England

I thought I would do a vague write up of one of Shane's most established films created. This film follows a young boy brought up in a society where subcultures dominates society and the boy becomes closely linked with a gang of skinheads. This film is based within the 1980's where these subcultures were at their most influential and it shows racism, crime and gang life at its best. Ideas have been stripped from this, especially the environment where it is set, within the North of England and the urban lifestyle featured. The deserted houses also adds to this production which is introduced within some scenes and helps to further this urban lifestyle.

21st November - Script for film

In today's lesson I thought I would start to get us more on track with actually beginning to film so the best way forward would be to create a basic outline for our script and then from there, we can decide what and what not to use in our final production. As the sub-heading states this 'Prezi' shows a 'Rough draft of (the) script' and the majority will most likely be wrought due to changing circumstances and what feels correct at the time to implement into our film. I have taken a few screen shots to take you through the process:

Broad view of whole 'Prezi' created.


This picture is just to show what overall product I have created rather than later on where I have actually posted the 'Prezi' presentation which will take you step by step through the script for the narrative.


'Path' on 'Prezi'.





Through the presentation I have made a 'Path' for the 'Prezi' to follow. This is to show my fellow group members how our overall ideas have come together and then we can act on this. This screen shot shows how to add anything to 'your path'.









Broad view of whole 'Path' on 'Prezi' created.


This shows a broader final product of the 'path' I created. It takes the user through by numbers so every time you click it creates a new screen shot with that number and moves to the left of the screen. From 1-10 of this particular 'Prezi' is the 'path' it will follow.

20th November - ANIMATIC COMPLETED.


                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        


16th November - Media lesson - Second animatic part COMPLETED.

Script for Part 2!

Shot one starts with a 0.5 second duration of darkness and then it continues onto the next shot with a quick cut. This following shot follows on the from the last shot of part 1 and continues with a pan of the seam of the briefcase. This will pivot horizontally for a slow short period of time so the viewer can understand the setting and can establish the scene.

The next shot will be of the lock of the briefcase flicking open which follows onto the next shot being that of medium shot but links to a over the shoulder shot due to the briefcase acting almost as a character where you can see the majority of the briefcase but only a small part of the person. This creates an enigma for the viewer whereby they are unable to see what is featured within the briefcase so what to follow from this shot is unexpected.

Shot 6 is a reaction shot of what the character has just spotted within the briefcase and then the character shuts the briefcase and carries on a conversation with the other character featured. The contents of the briefcase is still hidden creating even more suspense for the viewer. This is also an over the shoulder shot featuring both characters in the shot and remaining within the 180 degree rule. The conversations with the characters continue with shot reverse shots between them so shot 6 is actually a selection of different shots.

Shot 8 is where the drama of the scene really starts to engage the viewer. It is a POV shot from the protagonist character and shows him viewing the door. The diagetic sound is increased with loud banging of the door with the characters being uncertain of who it is. But they expect it to be that of the gang members trying to receive their product back from these characters.

Then the following shot, shot 10, is the chase scene with the filming being that of a hand held camera. This will contain a series of quick cuts from different angles to create further suspense. The dialogue used will be furious and boisterous against the characters with the briefcase.

The following shot of this would be that of shot 12. This follows the other shots by being hand held, taking on a slight resemblance to that of "Cloverfield". But on this shot the characters will be running through the woods away from the antagonist character and other gang members.


The final project of the second part!!

15th November - Media lesson - Fourth animatic part COMPLETED.

The shortest part of our animatic has been completed with the script and also editing of the clips and the voice recording of our voices have been implemented over the still pictures. These are a few screen shots of this part forming the animatic process:

This is a more focused screen shot on how this animatic has been shared to YouTube which is then shown below by the embedded video.
 
The final project of the fourth part!!
 

The script on blogger on a past post!
 
Part 4 

This shot shows a close up of one of the terrorists with an exchange of dialogue after the surprise of the gun shot. Some examples of dialogue that could be used includes “Find them and kill them”. A slight zoom will be introduced showing this characters anger. 

Shot 4 is when the bag is placed over the protagonists head. It will be a completely dark shot with the continuance of the confusion and shouting by the other characters mixed with some gunfire. This shot will continue for about 4 seconds from the protagonists perspective so a lot more diagetic sound of the heavy breathing and fear. Perhaps the attempt to move his head will also emphasise this.

Shot 6 will be a surprise for the viewer where the darkness of having the bag on for some period of time will be contrasted with a sharp bright light. This is to show the antagonists lack of light with the bag over the head and a perhaps a symbol to show he is safe. But what is the ending situation with the character? Is he killed by the terrorists? Or is he saved by this unfamiliar character? The enigma is for the viewers to decide. 

This may seem like a blur for the examinar but it is purely to help the group out so everyone in the group has an idea about progress made, additions to the shots and if there is any problems they will contact me.

7th November - Media lesson - Third animatic part COMPLETED.

This is our final animatic for part 3 of our storyboards! Me and Ed have finished the script and then recorded our voices over the screen shots of part 3. After finishing this we used iMovie's editing software to successfully trim anything that needed editing including reading the script out incorrectly and so on. After this I publicly uploaded the video to Youtube and then embedded it into this blog.

I also took a few screenshots showing the process taken:



This screenshot shows the message received after uploading the Animatic - Part 3 to YouTube.









This is another screen shot taken that shows one of the shots of the storyboard that we scripted over and also shows some of the editing completed underneath. This shot was taken on iMovie while visiting certain shots to make sure they did not need editing for our final product.           v v v v v v

6th November - Vlog entry after half term


Script for video

This is our first lesson back from half term so this is the first time for us as a group to catch up on the progress that has been made through the holiday. After we understood our current situation, we got underway with filming the animatic for the other parts of the storyboard. Due to already creating the script for this it was a relatively fast process and part 3 of the animatic has just been finished and will be uploaded shortly. Me and Edward have done the same technique of taking it in turns with reading out our own parts of the script, making it fairer for both of us. And while we have been doing this, Oli has been viewing different films so he can take ideas on different shots for part 2. In his own time he will finish this so me and Ed can create the script for part 2 and completely finish our animatic which has become quite a long task. 

This script was changed when I was being videoed and I improvised adding different parts in. But this is the video blog and the script above is the general idea of what is being said:





Friday 2 November 2012

Update from work completed over the holiday period.

I thought I would further my Media Studies A2 by spending my own time, rather than lesson time to try and complete some outstanding work so when we return, we will have passed the expectations of us and ultimately would complete our five minute film within a shorter time period. So the progress of how extra work was completed was due to me taking a picture on my phone of the different storyboards. Then sending these photos over email. And then having the photos on a larger scale so at home I had the chance to complete the scripts of the even numbers (as Ed is doing the odd numbers).

These are my results:


Part 3

Shot 1 starts off with a fade into shot two. Shot two is of the camera facing downwards at the protagonists feet. The camera will be a Point-Of-View-Shot and to make it more realistic we will make the camera blur when focusing on the legs. We may be able to do this while filming by moving the camera quickly or we will do it in the editing stage by adding effects. This will help show the confusion of the character and will help to put the viewer in the characters perspective.

Shot 4 and 6 also link to each other being an almost identical shot where the antagonist torturer is tapping out the ash of his cigarette. The repetition of this shot will emphasise the menacing atmosphere where the viewers will be left in suspense for the next shot to find out where the protagonist is, and his current situation. The camera will be featured at a low angle so when the character taps out some ash it will also help to show the characters freedom of movement and power, unlike the other character.

Shot 8 is a mid-shot of the antagonist, with the protagonist being featured behind. This broader shot will emphasise the antagonists authority over the protagonist whereby the protagonist has been reduced to a smaller size. There will be emphasis on the antagonist diagetic sound, may be by caressing the torture weapon because it will create a menacing sound and atmosphere for the audience.

Shot 10 is the antagonist walking towards the protagonist slowly with a very slight zoom showing more distinctly the protagonists fear. A tracking camera movement will follow the character very slowly with this zoom.

Shot 12 follows on from this and shows the impact of the torture weapon on the character that is tied up. A swift fast paced camera movement slices the characters face leaving blood on the wall which is then followed up by the next shot where the camera pans away and focuses on this blood that has been left on the wall. Then without any character in shot the viewer will hear the diagetic screams of the character who is being tortured.

Part 4

This shot shows a close up of one of the terrorists with an exchange of dialogue after the surprise of the gun shot. Some examples of dialogue that could be used includes “Find them and kill them”. A slight zoom will be introduced showing this characters anger.

Shot 4 is when the bag is placed over the protagonists head. It will be a completely dark shot with the continuance of the confusion and shouting by the other characters mixed with some gunfire. This shot will continue for about 4 seconds from the protagonists perspective so a lot more diagetic sound of the heavy breathing and fear. Perhaps the attempt to move his head will also emphasise this.

Shot 6 will be a surprise for the viewer where the darkness of having the bag on for some period of time will be contrasted with a sharp bright light. This is to show the antagonists lack of light with the bag over the head and a perhaps a symbol to show he is safe. But what is the ending situation with the character? Is he killed by the terrorists? Or is he saved by this unfamiliar character? The enigma is for the viewers to decide.

This may seem like a blur for the examinar but it is purely to help the group out so everyone in the group has an idea about progress made, additions to the shots and if there is any problems they will contact me.

26th October - Media lesson

This is my last lesson before we leave for a break of one week during the half term! I will be posting during the holidays but I can do very little in terms with the animatic etc. due to not owning a mac at home! So are group as a whole have all assigned certain tasks so when we are back from the holidays we can get straight back in with the blog and our film! The assigned tasks are as followed:

- Oli - Finish part two of the storyboards due to having our first idea being changed.

- Ed - Write a script for odd numbers on the different shots of the storyboard so we can finish are animatic when we get back.

- Me - Write a script for even numbers on the different shots of the storyboard.

Our organisation skills will be a real advantage to us when we have to complete our five minute film because we will have less to focus. Me and Ed have both used our phones to take pictures of the different storyboards parts and we currently both use the Blogger iPhone app so we can upload work straight away.
