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).
