LOCATION PICTURES 1

This was the first location chosen but after filming we realised that it was not remote enough and our ability to film at differents times of the day, without other people in shot would have been difficult.

SCRIPT

This is the first draft of our script, near the time for filming we decided as group that we should make it more dramatic and not have any speech at all. We focused on the editing and camerawork telling the story and tried to create a mysterious situation.

Tormented

00.00 - c. 02.25

The film Tormented is classed as comedy horror, the basic plot is A bullied teenager comes back from the dead to take revenge on his classmates.

The film opens with Justine Fielding (Tuppence Middleton) being escorted out of school by the police, as other pupils look on. As she is escorted by the police there are numerous jump cuts, the close ups used show her emotion at this time and the mysterious soundtrack emphasizes the dramatic scene. the jump cuts give the scene a edgy montage effect. we will try and create this feeling in parts of our opening scene.

There is a constant groan in the background and at 00.38 secs the 'aah' sound plays throughout. this gives it an angelic like feel yet combined with the image it creates tension and presence by the character.

It then has a flashback to 5 days earlier, where Justine is reading at the funeral of Darren Mullett (Calvin Dean). She starts to talk about him, when Jason Banks (Olly Alexander) stands up in church and calls her a hypocrite because she didn't really know him. He is then thrown out of church by the sadistic PE teacher.

The ending of the opening scene fades out and at the same time the music fades in.

Brief

The titles and opening of a new fiction film called "Dark Days" to last a maximum of 2 minutes.

Kidulthood

Hanway Films, Stealth Films and Cipher films distributed this film. They are all independent distributors.

The film opens showing a school at lunch break with children playing football, while middle class student Blake (Nicholas Hoult) gives out invitations to a party. The scene switches to Trevor (Aml Ameen) using the drill press, boring out an unseen object later found out to be converting a replica gun into a real one. Alisa (Red Madrell) comments on how she "doesn't feel well" and thinking about not attending the party, but her best friend Becky (Jaime Winstone) encourages her to go. We see Sam (Noel Clarke) spitting into Katie's hair and asking her where his girlfriend Claire (Madeleine Fairley) is, but Katie says she doesn't know. Jay (Adam Deacon) is seen kissing and fingering Claire; she asks Jay if he is scared and he replies negatively. After break, Sam and his gang encounter Trife, Moony and Jay and after insulting them and forcing them to pose for pictures, steal Jays sister's Game Boy and slaps Trife. In class, Trife defends Katie from a group of girls led by Sam, beating her up.

The opening scene of Kidulthood is quite long. It crosscuts between scenes which are happening at the same time. There are a variety of camera shots used. the close ups of the one guy in the workshop show that what he is doing is secretive, we are not shown what he is doing just that he is drilling something. the whole atmosphere seem realistic of a school. School unidforms, young teenagers, slang and attitude, this makes it seem realistic.

For the first 2 minutes there a soundtrack that plays, in the background there is typical sounds of a school day, chatter and noise. The mise-en-scene is presented very well and it is very easy for the audience to understand what is happening and where it is happening.
