More Photography/ Capturing Youth Culture

To aid with ideas for all three elements of this part of the course we took additional photographs with two of our actresses, below is a video of these pictures.

Some still images will be included in our trailer. For the target to be attracted there must be substance that they relate to, every detail is important, from clothing, activities done, music, and language.

More Filming

General Movement in Location

Atemptting to show hurt/pain

Smoking:

My Murder

Like our film My murder was based on a true story. It is a short drama surrounding the killings of a 16 year old boy.

(Similar Text that as a group we wanted use in our trailer)

Through watching this particular programme there were a number of shots that I could apply to our own production below are some examples, for example protraying a victim, establishing shots and various camra angles:

Blur

Establishing shot- iconic red london bus

Wide Shot of location, showing movement

Reflection, two views of charcter

Types of shots/angles

Extreme wide Shot 

An act to help to establish an area, the picture above shows our location- Thamesmead.

Medium Shot

Allows the capture of gesture and motion.

 

Medium Close up

  Shows the subject in more detail and framed from the shoulders up. This particular shot can be used to convey emotion. There is space for hand gestures to be seen and the setting can still be seen.

Close up

A picture which shows a fairly small part of the scene, such as a character's face, in great detail so that it fills the screen. It abstracts the subject from a context. Close-ups focus attention on a person's feelings or reactions either a state of emotional excitement, grief or joy, for instance in the picture above the individual he is in a state of remorse and definitely uneasy.

Low

The direction and height from which the camera takes the scene.  low angle shot places camera below the character, exaggerating his or her importance or their authority in this particular situation.

Eye-level

Directly involves the audience, brings the actor/actress on the same level as the viewer. For my own trailer these type of shots will be used frequently as the target audience is similar age and social category of the actors and actresses. 

Canted

 

An effect that can be used to unease the viewer, for example in this particular photograph this angle may be used to warn the audience of this gang of young people. 

Birds Eye View 

Can be used as an establishing shot. The audience can gain an understanding of the setting 

Research into Text in Trailer

In all the trailers I have looked at as part my original research they have included text telling the audience the makers of the film, producers, film companies associated with production and some general statements. All which helps the public have better insight of what the film is about.

Revolver Entertainment is a marketing-lead , all rights film distribution company. This particular company has released Kidulthood and successes such as Shank which both have similar genre to the film that I am trying to create. Featuring this logo in my trailer will help establish links between my film and already made products and even increasingly popularity.

Gunslinger Films, a standalone production company supported by leading independent distributor Revolver Entertainment, launched in 2009. Again this company is associated with a film with similar genre to my own- Sket. Even the  compnay name fits very well with the film I want to portray.

 

Gateway films have had a huge impact on the UK film industry. It works with entrepreneurs who have all seen an opportunity in the film business and once again have released bit hit urban films and have worked alongside with revolver entertainment and Gunslinger films. 

The name of film needs to be included in the film- it is the brand name. To add the release date will accompany this.  

             Based on a true story   

I personally feel that this piece of text should be featured in the beginning stages of the trailer or at the end, so it can have an impact on the audience. I also feel that this caption will help catch the audience attention
