SCREENSHOTS OF FILMING FISH SCENE

In this shot you can see Bryn directing Elliot what to do and how to handle the knife as it was important that through Elliot's body language gave away a lot about his character.

In these two screenshots we decided to film a close up of Elliot holding the knife. We then decided to film a close up of Elliot stroking the knife, this would show him as slightly deranged.

In this shot Bryn directed Elliot along with how Elliot would approach stabbing the fish in the head.

We then got a close up of the knife inside the fish's head.

EVALUATION QUESTION 3: DISTRIBUTION

 EXPLAINING WHICH DISTRIBUTION COMPANY WOULD PRESENT YOUR FILM AND WHY YOU CHOSE THAT COMPANY: UK film council, we chose this as it is a British film and it relates to many films that the UK film council have produced. Many of these films are to do with the youth of Britain and crime. Our film contains a teenager who gets tangled up with the crime but has nothing to do with it. (track recorded)

WHAT DISTRIBUTORS DO: They raise the awareness of films in order to popularize them and make them more successful. The more well known a film is before it is out, available to the public to view in the cinema or purchase the dvd, the more successful it will be in the cinemas and the overall viewings.

HOW THEY RAISE AWARENESS: Film distributors raise awareness through the media. Things like trailers that are advertised on television commercials or on the internet on websites like Youtube. The film itself would have its own website with games and information about the film. The most important trailer is the one that is used in the cinemas before a different film. This is where the audience can truly get a see what it is like to view the trailer and to see what the film looks like on the big screen. Meaning that essentially this is the make or break trailer. The best way of advertisement is the word of the mouth and if the viewers of a cinema saw the trailer of a good film that they would like to see the chances are they will tell there friends how good the film looked.

•    RESEARCH ABOUT DISTRIBUTORS:   I went on to the Film Distribution’s association (FDA) website and watched a couple of clips on Film distributors speaking about how they distribute films and how the media is such a key part in advertisement and getting the name of a film well known.

PLANNING: ACTING OUT SCENE

In this screenshot Bryn is positioned deliberately in front of the Waitrose to show where he works. Through the filming it should be clear to the audience that Bryn works at Waitrose, especially as we are gong to film him going into Waitrose.

We started with an establishing shot to show the type of place that the film will be filmed in. This is where we are planning to have Bryn and Celine walk across the road then say good-bye to each other.

This is the shot where Bryn says goodbye to Celine, this is a very important scene as through this shot it is important that friendship is shown through it. 

This is a close-up of the fish counter inside Waitrose. We are planning in doing a pan shot across the fish counter to show what type of job that Bryn does (fish monger).

CONSTRUCTION: COMPOSITION OF TITLES

 We story boarded the  sequence where the two main characters are introduced and decided what order the titles would be. in our framing and composition of our shots we know that we need to leave appropriate spaces for these titles to come up. We are currently researching the title of our film.

order of titles as seen on the screen:
Elliot Hogan as Oles
Bryn Williams as Alex
Amber Saville as Celine

The name oles has connotations of eastern europe (most crime being around these parts)
we chose this name as it is simple, easy to pronounce and a Ukrainian name.
The name Alex is very simple and short for Alexander, Alex pis less posh. We chose this name because it is British and very simplistic.
The name Celine has connotations of beauty. We chose this name as it isn't a common or normal name and catches attention.

CONSTRUCTION: DREAM SCENE

We have decided on the scene where the angry frustrated man fantasizes about a young beautiful woman. In this scene we are looking to show her in a 'dreamy' way. We will attempt to do this by :

• a swaying movement to show her beauty and innocence
• her long hair following her movement of direction
• her head never stable

CONSTRUCTION: DEVELOPMENT OF STORY BOARD

We have refined our story board in order to increase the sense of menace. In this sequence we now have a more fully developed montage in which the older dark haired man is constructed as a brooding, repressed figure who is obsessed with a young woman. We intend to signal his frustrations through a dreamlike insight into his fantasies about the girl. We intend to convey his latent violence through the way he handles the fish knife. A match cut between the fishes eye in ECU and the girls eye hints at future violence.
