Production Aims
The aims of my production
For my
filmed sequence, I am aiming to recreate the gritty realism of the life of
lower class male teenagers shown in ‘Kidulthood’ and ‘Harry Brown’. As well as
recreate, I also wanted to put my own personal ideas of how I feel that low
class male teens should be represented. Here are some key aims I will be aiming
to achieve…
·
To Recreate the gritty realism of the life of lower class teen males
shown in other contemporary British films
·
To add personal touch/ideas to how I interpret the representation of
lower class teen males
·
To successfully edit and correct my film in order to use my shots to
there full potential, giving overall success to my film
Ideas I have taken from films I have studied
To make
my filmed sequence as clear as possible, I will be attempting to use ideas from
‘Kidulthood’ such as the use of low-class locations, also I want to use the
idea of peer pressure as I feel this is a key influence for young males in a
society where having power is very important. The characters in the films I
watched has inspired me for my own character ideas, as I felt the films
provided a solid character type/s for this genre. In terms of narrative, I am
particularly interested in the style of ‘Kidulthood’,
and the way the lives of young teens are shown. I also wanted to recreate the
serious tone of the two films I researched as I feel that this suits the
narrative style of them and my own film.
Style of my production
In terms
of recreating another director’s style, I don’t intend to do that however I do
have an idea in terms of how I want the film to be shot, for example I know
that I want to make it a very harsh and emotional piece that will reach out to
audience hearts. I wanted to ensure that I make my piece dramatic and full of
tense build ups, making anticipation high for viewing audiences. I would argue
my style will more be aimed towards the director of ‘Kidulthood’ Menhaj Huda as I have planned to follow a similar
narrative structure and a similar character type.
How I’m going to communicate my ideas
In order
to communicate my ideas clearly, I will be using various micro-elements to help
to achieve this. For my mise-en scene, my film will be
located in a lower class urbanized area where alleyways and flats are visible,
making it clear what type of area I am trying to portray to the audience. With
my character costumes I wanted to recreate the style of clothing seen in the
two respective films I watched. For the cinematography of my film, I want to
make sure I use a range of shots that reflect the emotional battles that I want
to show in my film. I will be attempting to use a dark lighting in order to
portray the serious tone and the ‘dark’ feel I want to achieve. I don’t feel
that I will need to use any special effects for my production, as they wont be
necessary for the completion of my production. The editing of my production
will be done over a two week period which will give me time to evaluate and
ensure that my production has a good level of continuity, ensuring I don’t
break the 180 degree rules and use my shots in a way to successfully give my
film a good flow. The sound in my film will be majority non-diegetic using
music in order to set the tone of each scene.
