Question 7

Q)7. Looking back at your preliminary task (the continuity editing task), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?

-

-180 degree rule: The rule that states that two object/characters in the same scene must always have the same right/left relationship to each other.

-Match on action shot: this is a continuity editing technique which is when an edit takes place in the middle of an action, as it connects two shots cut together by having a character finish an action in the second shot which began in the first shot.

-Shot Reverse Shot: Shot reverse shot (or shot/counter shot) is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character (often off-screen), and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other.

When I started the first task I was barely learning to construct a easy camera angle and shot, however I have gotten confident over time were i have started to explore new camera movements, angles and shot. I started challenges the right way to fight- perfect steady straight shot (which i used in my first task), as that was what i thought was the golden rule to film making ,however iv discovered more interesting camera-work which are not conventional yet very effective.

Question 6

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

 I have learned many things about technologies during my production process, discovered and experienced with technologies that were new to me . This is my first blog that I have created- it is a very effective media technology that helped me keep a record of my progress, reflect and build on it. Data sharing media technologies such as Wikipedia, slide share and prezi helped me with the research stage of my work, as they are useful in the sense that alevel media students can research and present their research and findings to other students around the country.

Video and production sharing and exhibitors media technologies such as Vimoe and YouTube helped me discover real media productions and analyze and use their forms and conventions.

Through out my editing and production stage I used Apple Mac computers which help me discover many useful and professional programs that helped me enhance my work to a professional level, such as Adobe Premiere, were I edited my opening sequence.

Question 5

How did you attract/address your audience?

2010-2011 music videos that belong to new appearing artist in the indie/pop/rock scene have all mostly adapted the new fashionable trend in the music videos, which is the washed out vintage theme with the use of brown grays' and navy blues in there videos. Artists like ‘Elie Golding', ‘The Wanted', and ‘Colbie Calliat’, all adopt these theme in their videos one way or another. There audience are young people, with a love for up-to-date fashion, both in the in clothes and media productions, with high expectations and critical taste of how a ‘cool’ video should look like. My video adopts these features, with the choice of costume, setting , props and color, the video is trying to keep up with the trends of so called fashionable videos which new appearing (mostly in the pop industry) adopt to 'fit in'. My video use this trend to attract and address the young critical audience of 2010-2011.  

Question 4

Q)4. Who would be the audience for your media product?

The is the certificate given to our film.
As film contained bad language, violence and some mature themes.

Question 3

EVALUATION ACTIVITY 3
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?


Directory’s commentary
“A production company is a company that is mostly responsible for physical production of new media or film. The company may also be directly responsible for the raising of funding for the production. The company may be either a small company, (which would be independent, producing low budget films), or a larger one (producing mainstream block buster), selling its products to a film studio or in the case of film and television, it may be the studio itself. A coproduction is a theatrical presentation or film made by more than one company or a Conglomerate of multiple companies.
A film distributor is a company or individual responsible for releasing films to the public either at cinemas and theatres or for home viewing (DVD, Video-On-Demand, Download, Television etc.). A distributor may do this directly (if the distributor owns the theatres or distribution networks, which is less likely for independent distributors) or through theatrical exhibitors and other sub-distributors (most likely for British independent films).
The main fund provider for British film and especially independent films, similar to my own film which has a low budget would come from the UK Film Council which funds script development, film production, short films, film export and distribution, cinemas, film education, culture and archives, festivals and audience support schemes for these films. Since its creation it has distributed more than £160m of lottery money to over 900 films.
Ok there is a huge mistake which we have completely forgotten  to change, as which is when ‘Pathe Production Company’ present the film. We first used this just as a template to be changed later. Pathe no longer exits and we believe it wouldn’t be the ideal company to produce or distribute our film.
Throughout the blog we have used ‘This Is England’, as a case study as we believe that the film is somewhat similar to ours ,both creatively,  and  institutionally. As both films are low budget and both challenge and use, film conventions  in a original ways.
Our own production company that we have created is called ‘Red Hand Productions’, which is an small independent company that produces creative, original ideas to a mainly British audience on the most lowest budgets.  Many of it productions have won, British Academy Film Awards and British Independent Film Awards. This production company would have a £660,000 worth of budget for the film.
However if it were to be produced and distributed by real companies then our film ‘Turning Gates’, would be distributed by Optimum  Releasing , which is an independent company in the UK. It would also be produced by Film 4 Production company which is owned by channel 4 therefore the channel will take over promoting campaign on TV similar to the successful one of ‘Slum Dog Millionaire’. Another film production company that may produce our film would be Warp Film a creative independent company and Since its inception as a shop and record label in 1989, it has been a platform for innovative and boundary-breaking talent”

Opening Sequence Evaluation Q) 1

Q).  In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

rThe first 9 frame sequence are adapted from our final opening sequences that me and my group have produced , the second 9 frame sequence is a real media product one of my case study that I been using thought out my research and pr-production- 'This is England', a film based on social realism is one of many other films that I have looked at thought  my research and will mention in this evaluation.

-My media product both challenges, develops and use the forms and conventions of real social realistic British films , through theme representation (of gender,  ethnicity and class) , camera work, sound and mise-en-scene .

-Camera shots and editing – My opening sequence is filmed handheld, therefore  the footage is shaky and more documentary like, which is realistic in a way its follows and documents peoples life’s, - this gives a natural feel to the film. I use these camera techniques  throughout the opening  sequence. We edited the sequence with short takes which we slow motioned it to flow and to reflect on the female character mood from her view of view. This is conventional as many British social realist films like ‘this is England’ are on low budget and therefore come out with low quality filming . ‘This is England’  is also documentary like as they use real acre footage in their opening sequence, with real stories , real people and real struggles. However the first seconds of the opening scene is blurry and out of focus, this challenges the key rule of filming, - a steady in focus straight shot.  

- Social realist film are generally  based on a theme,  a social issue in Britain’s society ,character and stories are then based around them. My film follows this as is tackles ethnicity, social class and crime; the 9 frame shows shots of stereotypical young working-class men and women from different ethnic backgrounds, as we filmed in deprived areas of Leicester. The female character who cannot be seen however her voice-over r tells her story of human trafficking into the UK. These shot portray social issues in today’s society such as immigration and ethnic minorities that face marginalisation and prejudices, or of class in relation to crime , as working class sub-cultures are linked to deviant behaviour.

Bullet boy is an example of a film which is based on gangsters, violence and gun crime and the general challenges of a working class boy growing up in a high crime rated area.

      -Representation of genre - Men dominate social realistic films in way that crime and sub-culture are there main themes . Men are often portrayed as ‘angry, violence, aggressive and deviant’, as my film is also based around the same theme ,as my opening scene is also dominated by  young working class males. To emphasis more on the theme and give a direction to story line.  Even thought the main character is a female, we emphasis the opposite sex as dangerous and criminal while the girls voice portrays her as venerable . As she tells her story there are shots of men looking at the camera in a threatening  way, as if its personal.

‘Looking for Erik’- is based on mainly male characters  who dominate the film.

-The representation  of ethnicity-  My  9 frame show that I have taken shots of a various people from different ethnical and racial background, white, black, and Asian, it highlights immigration and ethnic groups – and the deprivation and marginalisation of their communities  pushing them into sub-culture mostly deprivation . With struggles such as status frustration ,were crime is a working-class/ethnic group stigma and phenomenon– these are all the reality of the British society and bring social realism into my opening sequence.

East is east is an example of when ethnicity sets social boundaries, were ethnicity is represented in a negative way with racism, violence and verbal discrimination.

-Mise-en scene – conventions of a British social realistic film is mise-en-scene used to make footage look dark, dull with colours like greys-  which makes atmosphere look unattractive, dirty and depressive – this is done by the use of natural or quiet light .I have used natural light were I then edited to turn colours down for a better effect, me and my group also filmed real people and character in their natural atmosphere- real setting used. We filmed the average person, wearing average working-class clothes  so people watching can familiarise  with them.

Billy Eliot- The film uses natural lights when that character are outside, and very dull dark lighting when the character are inside, making their life look dull and gloomy.

-Music and sound effects-  films such as ‘kidulhood’ and ‘Adulthood’, use real music from real artist, they use tracks for artist that represent the characters choice in music, such as grime rap/ and hip-hop in gangster films. Our opening sequences challenges this and goes against this convention, as we used classical orchestra music to accompany the opening sequence. Music which represents the middle-class and their cultural capital, we chose it for its irony and the impact it would have on the watchers and its emphasis on the people that we filmed.-class and their cultural capital, we chose it for its irony and the impact it would have on the watchers and its emphasis on the people epresents the middlethat we filmed.

My Diary: First Day Filming

Yesterday was the first day and will be the only day we go out to film the footage that we need. It was a long day as we stayed on later then excepted.

In the morning we charged the camera and went to find the driver, just checking he hasn't changed his mind.
At approx. 12:05 we met at the school gates, checked that we had the two cameras and one tri-pod and got going en-route to Leicester. It took us 30min to get there, to our luck our driver used to live in Leicester so he took us to the area he used to live in -Highfield, an area that has high dentity immagration and mutli-multiculturalism as well as deprivation. We thought it was just perfect. After filming a few clips I realised we have a problem ,as I am filming with the camera handheld (tripod wouldn't fit) the footage were coming out to shaky beacuse of the uneven roads and my unsteady hand. 2:10

We also needed a change in scene and area- so we put in the addresses that we had before hand (friends have recommended to me) onto the GPS, however we realised that theses area and the people living in them looked quiet middle-class. 2:55

We therefore didnt know where else to go , and instead we tried our luck by driving randomly in and out of area. Because of this I managed to get a few varied shots, but also because of this it took us more them planned. 4:20

We got tired and hungry and decided to eat 5:00

We had at this point lost hope and regretted coming to Leicester and thought it would have been more efficient and practical to film in our city Coventry as we would have known where to go.

On our way back (through a different route) I managed to get new shots of a different areas, here I decided to film people, as many people were coming home from work or on the way to somewhere. Before we set of we thought about the idea of having people look at the camera while we film, so the audience would have the feeling that people were looking at the car passenger as if it they were an intruder. We agreed that, that would be difficult as we would need something to attract there attention. However it seemed to be easier then we thought as people looked at us anyway as we drove past because I was holding the camera out of the window. It was great. 6:30

home sweet home 7:00.

........

Chosen Sound Track

This is our finale choice as we thought it would be perfect for our Opening sequence because its drama classical and heavy and would go well with the clips and slow motion movement. We will only be taking the first 2 min of the track.

Film Sound Track

I thought we should start looking around for a suitable soundtrack for our Opening Sequences.

We knew what we were looking for, as from the begining we thought that the music should contradict the image and genre for it to have an artist impact and give it edge. we liked the idea od having soft classical orchestra mucic playing while the a rought deprived city is being prensented, we have seen this being done in many icoic opening sequnce like fore examlple raging bull- while an image of a boxertraining in the boxing ring  (an image linked to tnse, more fast paste rought music) classical slow music is played as a soundtrack.










Opera is an interesting choice of music to use as it is something that is mostly associated with middle-class people and cultural capital, while footage would show poverty and material deprivation.

Location prt 2

Hey guys after a friend recommended Leicester instead of Coventry to film our opening sequence, and since you guy said you didn't mind either I thought id plan it. (just a suggestion)

What we need to do before we go:-

-So we need to research certain streets and area.
-Get a driver to take us there and drive while we film (maybe Sohail, if hes willing).
-Calucate how much the patrol would cost.
-Borrow a GPS from someone so we would know were to go without wasting time.
-Charge both cameras and check if equipment are available.
-Bring our director/ film crew spirit with us. :)

Filming schedule:
next week wednesday 4th period 12:00-16:00
(meet at reception)

please please tweet me what you think, and if you can or cannot make it that day
:D

Location

 Options for location:


We do not have a find locations as we will have many clips in the opening title from different areas, streets, and hoods.
As we are looking for very deprived area in the Midlands, we thought we'd discuss our option on were to film our clips, we would also need a driver.

Final storyline/narrative

We have finally chosen the storyline that we are going with- and surprisingly it was from one of the ones we brainstormed as a group.

1. The trafficked girl from eastern Europe and her journey to the slums of the Midlands. (interesting fact i found out while doing some research was that eastern Europe has the largest sex slavery in the world- thought id put that in).

Some Inspiration:-

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/nov/08/human-trafficking-prostitution
I found this article and it was very interesting in the since that the girl in the news article has a similar story to our character. As this is a real story and character story is also realist, I believe this would bring the social realism element into our opening sequence.

Sold for sex: tale of 16-year-old trafficked into Britain

Six men were jailed this week for their part in the ordeal of a teenage girl trafficked to Britain to be traded between pimps and brothel owners. Jana (not her real name) was 16 years old when she was tricked into leaving her home in Slovakia. She was raped, beaten and forced to have sex with hundreds of men. She told her story to Rachel Williams:

Brainstorming Story-Line prt 2

We came up with story line as a group so I thought id jot them down just in case we ended up with one of them. (we could build up on them or change them later- this is just a general idea) 

1. An eastern European girl is human trafficked into the inner city of the middland, she is  in a car being driven to the house she's suppose to live in, she finds her self looking (camera in her point of view) out side her car window at one the the most deprived, crime and immgration based areas. The girl is not shown in the opening sequence we only see what she is looking at. She voices-over her story.

2. We follow a young working-class man around, while he goes through his daily activities and rountines in a hight crime hood. Short fast cuts:
-starting from him waking up ,cut, dressed, cut, outside steals next doors milk, cut, drinking milk while walking pasted a deprived street, cut, swears to a group of young man on the other street, he laughts, cut, not laughing  running as fast as he could, cut, walks past a group of girls whistles and gives them unwanted attention, cut a gang of other young men come out of there cars, cut chase him ,cut police car approaches him cut the first gang appears around the corner, cut zoom into him cut film title.

3. Opening sequence starts with a comical fast paste theft attempt made by two guys and a girl, in a blind old lady's house. They managed to steal a lot of goods, being very please with themselves as they get out of the house laughing and hight fiving each other they are stopped in there tracks by a large dog. Then the chase starts as the camera runs after them as they try to escape the dog then the clip is paused with all three of them in the shot as the voice over (one of the characters) introduces his/her friends to the audience. 

Brainstorming Storyline/Narrative

The main ideas that we came up with :

Social Realism 

•  Crime 

1. drugs
2.  knife/gun crime
3. Prostitution
4. Theft 
5. Street/Gang crime

• Social Struggles/issues

1. Coming of age drama
2. poverty
3. racism 
4. immigration 
5. teenage pregancy

Group Planing

First day planning and brainstorming our own opening sequence.

me on the right

Today me and my group (Ally and Laylah), got to together and started to brain storm some ideas and story lines that are based on social realism.

We agreed that whatever the narrative are opening sequence be mainly about the photography of a still or moving picture, as we have gotten inspired by the photography in the raging bull opening scene.

The Raging Bull O.T is mostly about the photography, where it becomes an art production, iconic and memorable - which most film director strive to achieve.

Production company name/ Profile / Logo

My Production Company (created my me)

Profile:
Name: Red Hand Productions

Red Hand Productions is an independent film and documentary production company based in the UK, With a long list of credits in documentary and film making, the company has now grown to include development of scripted material in all sorts of genres,but mostly around the social realism art movement. red hand productions mainly producer low-budget films in which tackle or addresses Britians social struggles, sub-culture and class. where there works have won many award national and international.

I have created this company logo for my production company. It is simple and not very graphical because it belongs to an independent company. I will insert this logo in my opening sequence just before the title and credits. Company logo is an of the conventions of opening sequences, as very film has a production company and very company has a logo.

Nine Frame Structure Analysis - This Is England

'This Is England' - Nine Frame Structure Analysis of the opening sequence.

1. Starting from the top left, the opening starts with a clip from an iconic 1980s TV character, we straight away identify with it, and therefore we identify with the time this movie is set in.

2- The production/distribution companies of the film are mentioned and present the film.

3- The director is credited before any one else.

4- The title film in bold larger font appears while there is an ARC (taken from somewhere Else) footage of the streets of England at the back-sets the place and the country.

5- Main bidding cast named in large font - another clip of an ARC footage, this times a group of skin head school boys- sets the subculture and society.

6-Main but less bidding cast are credited while the iconic royal wedding is played in the background -sets the exact year.

7- ARC footage of the famous riots that where happening at the time, sets the social struggle of the working-class sector of that time.

8- Film crew credits, ARC footage of skinhead movements and sub-cultures in Britain at that time -social injustice.

9- More crew credits while Margaret Thatcher in the background giving at speech- gives an idea on the time-slot the film is suppose to be based around.

By Showing real events, real people real stories and real struggles in the opening sequence of the film the viewers know that it is about social realism.

DVD/Poster Analysis

Case Study - Shane Meadow

'This Is England' - Poster Analaysis

The 'This is England', film poster is one of the most attractive ones iv seen in its originality, photography and how it portrays Britain 1983.

The poster is split into three horizontal sections giving each part its own worth. The film title, the actor(s), and the the rating and quoted reviews from critics, newspaper, or magazine etc.

At the bottom the image shows all the cast of the film lined up against the wall expressionless, dressed in 1980's skin head and punk culture related cloths. This is very effective as the image is put right beneath the title 'this is england', it is as if the poster is trying to show you that the image below is what England 1983 is all about, the attitude, the culture and the clothes. The title is done in big bold font that fills up across the poster in the three main colour of the union jack, the film is therefore exclusive to the British culture as it portrays social struggles and injustice through social realism. The gritty bits of the working-classes life.

Iconic British Socail Realism Film Directors -

Stephen Fears (1941)
- Director, Actor, Producer.



He directed films since the mid-80s, with a success both in Britian and HollyWood. Frears made his featured film debut in 1971 with Gumshoe, a memorial production, about a Liverpool bingo caller.

Frears achieved his career breakthrough the following year with My Beautiful Laundrette, a Channel Four production shot on 16mm for £600,000. Scripted by Hanif Kureishi, the film tackles racism, sexuality and Thatcherism in a provocative and entertaining fashion. Intended for television, My Beautiful Laundrette was given an international theatrical release, proving a critical and commercial success.

Now in demand, Frears reunited with Alan Bennett for Prick Up Your Ears (1987), a long-standing personal project. A biopic of playwright Joe Orton, the film features strong performances from Gary Oldman and Alfred Molina, and a candid depiction of Britain's gay subculture in the 1950s and '60s.

Dirty Pretty Things (2002), Frears's latest film, centres on a group of immigrants, some illegal, living in London. Frears had already dealt with the plight of political refugees in the television play Cold Harbour (Thames, 1978).

Micheal Winterbottom (1961)
-Director

He emerge as a diector from the late 20th centry.

In 1994 Winterbottom formed Revolution Films with Andrew Eaton, his producer on Family; his first cinema feature, Butterfly Kiss, emerged the following year

Winterbottom entered the prestige literary adaptation field with Jude (1996). Typically, he picked one of the bleakest possible properties, Thomas Hardy's novel of dashed hopes and illicit love. Sombre and stark in every way, it remains a compelling and underrated film, with a mesmerising performance from Kate Winslet as stonecutter Jude's vivacious cousin, made wan by the kicks of fate.

I Want You (1998), a seaside drama of obsessive love with Rachel Weisz, filmed in Hastings; the Belfast-set With or Without You; and, most individual of all, Wonderland (1999), a sad family jigsaw puzzle built up from what at first seem scattered scenes about the lives of three sisters.

 Through all the variations in mood and technique, he seeks to combine social realism with stylistic experiments, bold photography, and expressive use of the widescreen shape. Though the artistic achievements have varied, and no film has enjoyed wide commercial success, in his determination to make idiosyncratic and innovative British films Winterbottom has established an enviable international reputation.

History of Sociall Realism

  History Of Social Realism - brief background info

Social realism has played an important role in both British cinema and TV. The British documentary movement which developed under the leadership of John Grierson  was enormously influential in stimulating what became a strand of fiction film described as social realism.

Humphrey Jennings who started out with this movement brought a sense of the surrealism of popular culture in everyday life to his work. His wartime docu-dramas and documentary work are exemplary pieces of art working across genres to produce some of the best work ever made by a British director.

Jennings was an inspiration to Lindsay Anderson and those who gathered around him in the British 'Free Cinema'. Technical discoveries by cameraman Walter Lassally were to influence the work of the French New Wave Filmmakers and cinematographers.

Social Realism in cinema is a style that finds its roots in the Italian neorealism movement known for naturalistic, substance-over-style works of filmmakers such as Roberto Rossellini, Vittorio De Sica and, to some extent, Federico Fellini, but is considered Britain's main form of cinematic style. For Britons, their early cinema used common social interaction found in Dickens and Thomas Hardy. One of the first British films to emphasize realism's value as social protest was the 1902 film from U.K. director and Scottish born film pioneer James Williamson, A Reservist Before the War, and After the War which memorialized the Boer War serviceman coming back home to unemployment. Repressive censorship during 1945-1954 prevented British films from more radical social positions.

Social realism was also adopted by Hindi films of the 1940s and 1950s, including Chetan Anand's Neecha Nagar (1946) which won the Palme d'Or at the first Cannes Film Festival, and Bimal Roy's Two Acres of Land (1953) which won the International Prize at the 1954 Cannes Film Festival. This in turn gave rise to the Indian New Wave, with early Bengali art films such as Ritwik Ghatak's Nagarik (1952) and Satyajit Ray's The Apu Trilogy (1955–1959). Realism in Indian cinema dates back even earlier to the 1920s and 1930s, with early examples including V. Shantaram’s films Indian Shylock (1925) and The Unexpected (1937).

The United States was one of the last countries to adopt this form of style in cinema. Kine Weekly, marketed as an invaluable record of British film and television industries development,in 1947 wrote, "Americans have shown [sic] they want pictures reflecting the simple emotions. We are trying to crash into their market by offering them gloom-sadism-and-soft-focus. We must aim at the box office and not the art gallery. It is no good aiming over their heads. It will not help us earn dollars.”[ British Social Realism cinema has an objective distancing from what the characters think and feel, or a naturalism in its character spines.

Social Realism

                                          


         Me and my group have decided on a genre after long disscussion and group meetings, as both of the other groups in our class were choosing horror or thriller, we thought we'd give a balance and choose somthing different. we chose
   Social Realism
We all conclued on the idea that most britsh films are based on social realism also known as socio-Realism. It is an artist movement, expressed throught visual art and moving pictrures. social realism depicts injuctice social and racial,economic hardship and lifes's struggles. These kind of films mostly portray the workingclass in a heroic way, as they show them in a way which challenges authourity. we liked the artistly orginal and independt these kind of films are, as it gives us a platform were we can be orginal and express a world that we are very much familiar with. The british society.

Preliminary Task

We had to in groups create a short video for our Preliminary Task- which consists of a door opening scene, a character seating themselves in front of another character in which they exchange dialogue.
The footage much include the following

-180 degree rule: The rule that states that two object/characters in the same scene must always have the same right/left relationship to each other.

-Match on action shot: this is a continuity editing technique which is when an edit takes place in the middle of an action , as it connects two shots cut together by having a character finish an action in the second shot which began in the first shot.

-Shot Reverse Shot.

I going to incorporate some of the skills and techniques that i have learned doing this task, if required in my opening sequence.
