Q2-43 : FILM OPENING PROJECT 2008/9

Continuity Task 2

Film Opening Evaluation - Q5

2009-03-11T03:00:00.000-07:00

Q5: How did you attract/address your audience?

Film Still 1.

The postman here, and the houses surrounding him, makes this picture typically British. By filming this we have, hopefully, attracted the audience in terms of that they can relate to it.

Film Still 2.

In this film still our character is going through photographs before she leaves her house. People can relate to this in the sense that everyone at some time or another has reminisced over past events.

Film Still 3.

We attract the audience here by showing everything in the character's point of view as she runs - the hectic, jagged way the wall has been filmed as she runs past it gives an insight into the way the character is feeling.

Film Still 4.

This is the end of our opening sequence. The character is biking away and leads the audience to question where she might go next - it leaves them in suspense. Our aim in doing this was to attract the audience into watching more.

Film Certificates - 18

2009-03-11T02:51:00.002-07:00

'18' – Suitable only for adults

No-one younger than 18 may see an ‘18’ film in a cinema. No-one younger than 18 may rent or buy an ‘18’ rated video.

In line with the consistent findings of the BBFC's public consultations, at '18' the BBFC's guideline concerns will not normally override the wish that adults should be free to chose their own entertainment, within the law. Exceptions are most likely in the following areas:

* where material or treatment appears to the Board to risk harm to individuals or, through their behaviour, to society – e.g. any detailed portrayal of violent or dangerous acts, or of illegal drug use, which is likely to promote the activity. The Board may also intervene with portrayals of sexual violence which might, e.g. eroticise or endorse sexual assault.
* the more explicit images of sexual activity – unless they can be exceptionally justified by context and the work is not a 'sex work' as defined below.

In the case of videos and DVDs, which may be more accessible to younger viewers, intervention may be more frequent. For the same reason, and because of the different way in which they are experienced, the Board may take a more precautionary approach in the case of those digital games which are covered by the Video Recordings Act.
Sex Education at ‘18’

Where sex material genuinely seeks to inform and educate in matters such as human sexuality, safe sex and health, exceptions to the normal constraints on explicit images may be made in the public interest. Such explicit detail must be kept to the minimum necessary to illustrate the educational or instructional points being made.
Sex Works at ‘18’

Sex works are works, normally on video or DVD, whose primary purpose is sexual arousal or stimulation. Sex works containing material which may be simulated are generally passed ‘18’, while sex works containing clear images of real sex are confined to the ‘R18’ category.

Film Certificates - 15

2009-03-11T02:51:00.001-07:00

'15' – Suitable only for 15 years and over

No-one younger than 15 may see a ‘15’ film in a cinema. No-one younger than 15 may rent or buy a ‘15’ rated video or DVD.
Theme

No theme is prohibited, provided the treatment is appropriate to 15 year olds.
Language

There may be frequent use of strong language (eg 'fuck'). But the strongest terms (eg 'cunt') will be acceptable only where justified by the context. Continued aggressive use of the strongest language is unlikely to be acceptable.
Nudity

Nudity may be allowed in a sexual context but without strong detail. There are no constraints on nudity in a non-sexual or educational context.
Sex

Sexual activity may be portrayed but without strong detail. There may be strong verbal references to sexual behaviour.
Violence

Violence may be strong but may not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury. Scenes of sexual violence must be discreet and brief.
Imitable techniques

Dangerous techniques (eg combat, hanging, suicide and self-harming) should not dwell on imitable detail. Easily accessible weapons should not be glamorised.
Horror

Strong threat and menace are permitted. The strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable.
Drugs

Drug taking may be shown but the film as a whole must not promote or encourage drug misuse.

Film Certificates - 12A/12

2009-03-11T02:46:00.000-07:00

12A – Suitable for 12 years and over. No-one younger than 12 may see a ‘12A’ film in a cinema unless accompanied by an adult. No-one younger than 12 may rent or buy a ‘12’ rated video or DVD. Responsibility for allowing under-12s to view lies with the accompanying or supervising adult.
Theme

Mature themes are acceptable, but their treatment must be suitable for young teenagers.
Language

The use of strong language (eg 'fuck') must be infrequent. Racist abuse is also of particular concern.
Nudity

Nudity is allowed, but in a sexual context must be brief and discreet.
Sex

Sexual activity may be implied. Sex references may reflect what is likely to be familiar to most adolescents but should not go beyond what is suitable for them.
Violence

Violence must not dwell on detail. There should be no emphasis on injuries or blood. Sexual violence may only be implied or briefly and discreetly indicated.
Imitable techniques

Dangerous techniques (eg combat, hanging, suicide and self-harming) should not dwell on imitable detail or appear pain or harm free. Easily accessible weapons should not be glamorised.
Horror

Sustained moderate threat and menace are permitted. Occasional gory moments only.
Drugs

Any misuse of drugs must be infrequent and should not be glamorised or instructional.

UK FILM COUCIL

2009-03-11T02:32:00.000-07:00

Today we are looking at Q3 of the film opening evaluation:

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

We have looked at the UK Film Council and found that they have two types of funding - the premiere fund, which provides £8 million a year to finance production of popular, mainstream films, for example Stormbreaker, Severance, Miss Potter and Becoming Jane, and the The New Cinema Fund, which releases £5 million a year to innovative film-makers, helping to back movies like Red Road, The Wind That Shakes the Barley, This is England and London to Brighton.

The New Cinema Fund - What we're looking for

* Fresh, original and dynamic work in any style or genre
* Diversity and innovation
* New and cutting edge filmmaking talent
* Films from black, Asian and other minority ethnic filmmakers
* Films from across the UK
* Scripts that have been substantially developed
* Films with a secured UK theatrical or high profile digital release – or clear potential to do so

Similarities between our character and characters in other British Social Realist films

2009-03-10T04:23:00.000-07:00

We feel that the character in our film was similar to the girl fifth from the left in this photo - Vicky McClure in This Is England. Her don't-give-a-shit attitude resembled that of the girl in our film opening and McClure, or 'Lol' as she was named in 'This Is England' is level headed and realizes when a problem needs to be fixed. Our character may not have been level headed but she recognized that she had a problem and needed to sort it out.

Our Final cut....

2009-03-10T04:11:00.000-07:00

This is our final cut. We ran out of time with our editing and had to chuck on some music and end title, so its not the best it could be....

Evaluation Rough

2009-03-08T17:29:00.000-07:00

Media Studies - Opening sequence evaluation

For our media task, my group and I produced the opening sequence to a British social realism film. The end result wasn’t as good as we had hoped it to be but overall I feel we did well.

In terms of using the conventions of British social realist films, I think we succeeded. To find the conventions of realist dramas we looked online and also looked at films such as ‘This Is England’ and ‘Trainspotting’. We found that the films usually included everyday, working class characters and involved a struggle of some sort. They were also quite gritty and the filming techniques were mostly basic – no special effects seemed to be used. This improved the film type objective to represent ‘real life’.

First of all in our film opening we tried to film footage of everyday Britain. We include a postman, cyclists and a typical British bus. The camera also moves slowly up the road we filmed on, showing rows of what are mostly council houses. This introduced the emphasis on a working class setting – plus the historical period i.e. the buses. The ‘struggle’ we tried to incorporate was portrayed using a voiceover:

“I find it hard to say anything anymore. I can’t hold a conversation with anyone about anything unless it’s got something to do with what I knew 3 years ago – my mind hasn’t soaked up anything ever since. Maybe I’m ignorant, maybe I’m stupid. Maybe I’ve just plain and simple fucked up, but once you admit that, you’ve just accepted that you’re not going to get anywhere further than the mental age of 16. I’m dissatisfied and completely bored. I’m Jack in his shitty little box. It ends. The alcohol and drugs don’t come with the party anymore, the party comes with them. They’re the priority, the main factor. It was a laugh and it was a lesson. It was when we was very young.”

We hoped this would show that our character was battling with sorts of addictions and dissatisfaction in herself. We also film her packing clothes into a bag and leaving her house. We hear her father ask where she is going and she doesn’t answer, but runs away instead. This showed difficulties within her home life, too.

That particular part of the film leads us to another convention of opening sequences: encouraging the audience to ask questions. Our intentions were that the audience would question why she was leaving her home and where her journey would take her later in the film.

We don’t release much information about the character with our filming, but the voiceover we included lets people know about her lifestyle. She drinks, she takes drugs and is unsure what she is doing in life except that. I feel this character is representative of a social group that is almost unaccounted for – people who don’t really have any aims in life but intoxicate themselves to distract their mind from that very fact. The youths you see drinking on the street who people might call ‘yobs,’ however from an inside point of view, which we intended for the story to show – the social group we represent is titleless.

The kind of media our product would be distributed under would be film, perhaps an independent institution as it does not seem mainstream enough for any large institution; it’s certainly not a Hollywood film. We could also work on a low budget for the film because, as previously said, the filming we need to represent ‘real life’ is very basic.

This film could attract a large scope of people, first of all, generally adults and teenagers: the character could be someone a teenager resembles, or someone an adult used to resemble. But the audience does not have to find themselves in this character to be interested. Its documentary style could attract anyone who is interested in class issues or simply of the working class population in the country we live in, Britain.

We attract this audience with details like costume – lots of people can relate to a teenager in jeans and a jumper. Similarly, teenagers and adults alike can relate to home life struggles e.g. the hostility of the character towards her father. We also leave a sort of cliff-hanger with the question of what happens to the girl later in the story – we hoped this would encourage the audience to want to watch more.

In constructing the product, I feel I should have gotten more acquainted with the technologies of Final Cut. Besides the filming and ideas, we split the tasks of producing the film opening between the three of us when perhaps we should have been more equally involved in all aspects. I did become more skilled at producing a soundtrack but feel that this wasn’t proved to its potential in the end result. I liked the soundtrack I made and thought it to be well fitting to our theme but due to not using our time as well as we should have, the music was cut in bits where it shouldn’t have been.

Using two computers was also a flaw. Because of this, I wasn’t able to perfect the music in time with the film opening footage because I was estimating where each change in music should come in. I also underestimated how long the footage lasted and therefore made the soundtrack too short. Due to this, we had to copy and paste a lot of the music towards the end which only made it sound too repetitive and tedious.

If I were to do it again I would have suggested we finished all the titles and editing first so that I could have used the computer with the footage on it to improve the soundtrack timing. Working on the music first only made it more difficult because I assumed that the way we had laid out our footage would stay like that, when obviously we changed out minds more than once, hence the soundtrack had to change time and time over.

The camerawork also could have been improved. Most of it, after editing, was fine, but some parts still seemed a little bit jumpy, in particular a part where we filmed a graffitied wall. We tried to show that this is what the girl was running past when she left her house so we decided to film it hand held. This could have worked if we went slower, but we found that our hands are a lot less steady than they look while filming. The footage looked like we had been running but was way too jumpy and therefore looked random because none of the other footage was that hectic. Next time we’ll go slower or use a tripod.

Overall we didn’t do as well as we could have but I don’t think we strayed too far from our objective – I feel that it’s clear what kind of film it is. The only thing we lacked is more time, so next time we’ll manage our time more efficiently.

Very Rough Cut

2009-03-03T03:00:00.000-08:00

We didn't have time to edit our footage which is really disappointing, so our rough cut is pretty basic. We also need edit the sound and add a voiceover. There is also a black and white bit which we need to remove...

2009-02-24T03:59:00.000-08:00

Until we film on wednesday we think we have everything doneee....

Soundtrack - completed, may need to tweak it a bit when we add the footage.

Photos in beginning - we printed these today, one of us will need to paste them onto cardboard which will also be done today.

Voiceover - voiceover has been written but we haven't decided who will speak it yet - either annelie or one of our friends.

Titles - done, ready to be added to footage.

Rough draft of voiceover

2009-02-11T02:00:00.000-08:00

This voiceover will be the introduction to the film. No music will be played until towards the end of the monologue and the titles eg. house party 2003 are references to the photos she throws down.

"I find it hard to say anything anymore. [New Years 2002.] I can’t hold a conversation with anyone about anything unless it’s got something to do with what I knew 3 years ago – my mind hasn’t soaked up anything ever since. [House party, 2003.] Maybe I’m ignorant, maybe I’m stupid. Maybe I’ve just plain and simple fucked up, but once you admit that, you’ve just accepted that you’re not going to get anywhere further than the mental age of 16. [Turning 14.] I’m dissatisfied and completely bored. I’m Jack in his shitty little box. [Turning 15, turning 16.] It ends. The alcohol and drugs don’t come with the party anymore, the party comes with them. They’re the priority, the main factor.

It was a laugh and it was a lesson. It was when we was very young."

FINAL Animatic.....

2009-02-10T03:52:00.000-08:00

Final we have finished our animatic after a lot of problems! Yay!

Things we still need to do!

2009-02-10T03:06:00.000-08:00

We may be a little behind at the moment so need to sort out what still needs to be done:

Make a soundtrack
Find/take photos to introduce the characters in our film
Write script for voiceover
Upload animatic
Filming

Shot List number 2....

2009-01-30T07:55:00.000-08:00

1. Plain shot of house: showing the location, no music at this point

2. The camera will slowly zoom in, and sweep around to the back door, and enter

3. When entering the house the speed will be fast, zooming around the house, passing props such as cigarette packets, drink cans, old boots on stairs etc. Faint music will start

4. The camera will go up the stairs and into the main characters room to show her sitting on the floor smoking in dim light. The mood of the music changes

5. The shot will sweep over her head and look down on the photos as she drops them one by one on the floor.

6. Maybe to end we could rewind the footage.....

First ideas Rough Cut!

2009-01-30T07:14:00.000-08:00

This rough cut is very poor, but we only had about 5 secs to upload it as we had to upload out images again!

We have decided to develope on this idea any way.....

New Idea...

2009-01-30T07:02:00.000-08:00

Possible new idea;

Starting with a shot of the house.

Then there will be a shot of the front door.

The camera will then enter the house && give a guided tour of the house so we can see what sort of lifestyle the character/s lead. This will be made as if its fast forwarding. The camera will then stop as it reaches the character. There will be a shot of the character. There will be a voice over telling us a bit about the character. The camera will then go over the characters head as she drops photos. There will still be a voice over && this will then help introduce other characters (friends). Photos will fall on top of one another.

Photos will show bits of her life and her friends. After this beginning it would rewind to before and show what has happened leading up to this point....

Shot List....

2009-01-28T01:13:00.000-08:00

We will begin with shots around Cambridge town:

In the day-

*Someone on a bike

*Hot dog/burger stand thingy

*Someone jumping off a swing

*Someone's feet wearing old boots, dropping a cigarette

In the night-

*'BEWARE CRIMINALS!!!' Sign

*People drinking/on the street

*Buses/bus stop

*Maybe on the bus

*Little corner shops= closed and dark

We are still thinking about out different shots......

Mood Board baby!

2009-01-27T04:00:00.000-08:00

Other photograph ideas for beginnning

2009-01-27T03:06:00.000-08:00

We have been thinking about the photographs of our characters in the beginning and are thinking maybe instead of the whole camera clicky noise we'll just throw the photos down on top of each other. So. We'll be looking through our own photos of our friends and if they don't really work then we'll take new ones.

filming

2009-01-23T08:21:00.000-08:00

For filming, maybe go with both ideas i.e the people and the objects.

Thinking maybe to introduce the characters with either very quick filmed shots of each person we use, or just use photographs, if anyone's seen the old old Bonnie and Clyde movie then kinda like that. Can't find it on youtube but photographs appear on the screen one by one with a sort of camera clicky noise - could do that and then film the streets after we've introduced the characters with the photos.

Also the titles would probably look good/fit well if they were just black, and sort of grainy eg the titles for 'This is England' -

Billy Elliot

2009-01-23T07:03:00.000-08:00

*Life Story
*Elements of Comedy
*Age
*Location
*Lower Class

and more and more

2009-01-23T06:29:00.000-08:00

so our footage is basically an introduction to how a group of people became the group of people that they are now - we'll most likely choose for them to be addicts of some sort, troubled at least, and working class.

1. we don't have people of the right age really to begin there so the opening could be all about a small phase of scenes from when they were younger (using our friends as the characters).

2. we may not really need any people - just pictures of typical Britishness, flat caps, old boots etc.

Don't really know how to inroduce this title idea so i'll just jump straight into it - A.A Milne with his adventures of Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin namely the book 'When We Were Very Young' - contradiction of the innocence of the cartoon character/unstable lives of our characters. But using a more restricted speech code to portray our particular charcters better, so changing it to 'When We Was Very Young'.

A different idea if we're able to use already made soundtracks, not sure if we are but if so then using an instrumental piece of 'On the Sunny Side of the Street', making the title 'The slummy side of the street' or something kinda like that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTN8TV embedding doesn't work on my little disabled computer

Other soundtrack ideas, again if we're allowed to use them at all, The Pogues - And the band Played Waltzing Matilda (or Fairytale of New York? but maybe too christmasy, maybe not) (OR dirty old town, the pogues are just too good. We're proly not even allowed to use soundtracks are we.)

or Blur - Parklife.

aparently computer likes these ones better.

Bye.

2009-01-21T01:48:00.000-08:00

IDEAS

We have chosen to film our friends in college - not necessarily to have them act but just to follow them with a camera and record their daily routines, quirky habits etc.

There will be a voiceover for most of the opening sequence, besides a few parts where we may choose to use the voices of the people we have filmed. The voiceover idea was influenced by the film Trainspotting -

We've chosen to use a voiceover because we have noticed that a lot of the British social realist dramas include people that are older whereas our friends are obviously 16-18, so we'll begin with the narrator telling us that this is how it all began.

change of plans

2009-01-21T01:23:00.000-08:00

We are changing our minds about whether to do a teenage romantic comedy - we feel it will be hard to make it funny.

We have chosen to do a British Realist Drama, mainly because we have eliminated all the others - we haven't spoken to the third member of our group yet.

Locations we could film in -
Houses
Town
College

Conventions -
working class
unemployed
drugs
troubled
crime
edge of society
real life situations
uncommon to be stylized or exaggerated
relationships
reality
Filming not very bright - quite dreary - depicts real life

I am Legend Opening Analysis

2009-01-20T12:34:00.000-08:00

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=EgxgofbO0NA

*Silent at the beginning except rainforest sound/birds/wildlife
*Wide shots of empty city =slow and still shots of buildings, landscape
*Sky view/ aeroplane view =city looks small and empty
*Abandoned cars
*Shot of gun when introducing lead character
*His view looking out of the window
*Sound of car breaking through the silence
*Dog is like a person =head out of window, Smith asks him what he can see
*Shot of deer (jumps over car) =fast, can't quite see what it is at first
*Unstill camera shots =movement, realistic
*Gun out of window =hunter
*Car looks like a preditor/animal in the wild
*Can't get through because of lots of queued cars =quick attempt to escape? Where is everyone? Why have the cars stopped like that?
*Will Smith looks emotional/sad =because the deer got away or sad memories??

In the opening of the film 'I am Legend' it begins with a slow sweep around a deserted New York. It then introduces Will Smith as the leading character when he breaks into the scene in a car, armed and sitting next to his dog. In the opening Will SMith is hunting deer. This is strange because you wouldnt see wild animals roaming the streets of New York! The opening ends when the deer escape down a road blocked with vehicles. The atmosphere, location and style of the opening shows that the film is going to be a horror. Will Smith is the only 'human' character in the opening which is important because you know/see that he maybe the only human left. The dog in the scene is portrayed as a friend to Will Smith, almost like a person.

At the begining of this opening there is silence apart from a strange sound of wild life. I think this is very effective because it quickly arises questions and makes the viewer feel uneasy because its not normal and you want to know whats going on. The silence is broken with the sound of a fast car. This is very effective because it shows how empty and silent New York is and it makes you more aware of the car. When the deer begin running one jumps over the car and there is a quick loud squeal which starts the chase as the sound of the engine gets louder.

The camera work fits in really well with the mood of the opening. The shots are wide and slow showing the abandoned cars and buildings. It creates more tension and empthasises the fact that the city is diserted. There is a over head shot of the buildings which makes you realise how small the buildings are from above and that everywhere is empty so theres no help. The camera work works really well with the eeire sound of the wild life, it makes you wonder what has happened or is going on. I really like the still shots of the car and the deer approaching and passing by, this makes it more exciting and shows how fast they are going. This also makes the car look like a real preditor in the wild, and shots of Will Smith aiming his gun out of the window makes him look like a hunter. At the end of the opening the car swerves to a hult at a queue of cars. There is then a point of view shot as the deer escape. This shows emotion on Smith's face, is it sadness?
Is he annoyed because the deer get away or do the abandoned cars bring back memories? The shots are also shakey as if hand held which makes it more realistic.

When introducing the main character in the car, you first see his gun this shows he needs protection or is a hunter. He is wearing casual and action clothing which shows he is constanly on the move. The fast movement of the deer makes you unsure at first of what they are which makes you want to watch more.

Ideas...

2009-01-20T03:16:00.000-08:00

We have chosen to do a film opening in the genre of Teenage Romantic Comedy.

Initial Ideas;;
Interview 2 different girls/a guy and a girl
Two different personalities - one angry/attitude, one ditsy/jock-type
Interview for a school magazine?

What lies beneath opening

2009-01-19T07:48:00.000-08:00

MACRO
Characters;
One female is introduced at the beginning of the film. The film starts with one main character bathing. This opening prepares you for what’s going to happen. The opening begins with the woman sitting up in the bath suddenly as she gasps for breathe. Straight away the audience is hooked and wanting to find out why she is struggling to breathe. As she gets out of the bath and turns on the hair dryer, again there is a sudden and unexpected noise as the hair dryer sparks.
MICRO
Mise en Scene;
Woman, bath, steamed up mirror, hair dryer, towel on the floor, bin, sink, stool and dressing table, shelves, switch on the wall where the hair dryer is plugged into.
Sound;
There isn’t a great deal of sound throughout the beginning. There is the noise of the water, the woman gasping for air, hairdryer. After this comes the noise of the hair dryer. There is no background music just the sounds of what the woman is doing.
Editing/Camera;
There are many close up shots of the woman to help express her feelings. There is also a long shot of the bath so we can see what she is doing and how she is feeling. There is slow editing. The camera slowly, from a long shot zooms in on the character.

The Others

Mean Girls

2009-01-16T07:58:00.000-08:00

What lies beneath is a good example of a thriller with a strong female lead. It begins slow and spooky which builds the tension and then makes you jump as she sits up suddenly out of the bath.
