Directors commentary

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61O3mHZ7HoI

this was the directors commentary where we discussed areas about our film such as the sound,camera composition and other technical areas, and we discussed the faults and how we overcame them. as well as what we did well and how we did it.

Feedback for our Film

this was the feedback for our film where other people were filmed on camera and had to say their opinion and judge what the film was about in different areas of the film such as mise en scene, sound, camera composition, and other technical areas. while we were out of the camera and in the corner generally the feedback was good and considered good.

Addiction- Clothing

Costumes
For clothing Filthy Frank will be wearing a short sleeve white shirt with many buttons undone and a tracksuit or jeans and trainers.
Andrew McGregor would be wearing a cheap Hoodie with jeans or tracksuit and trainers. 


Lewis Hall wears a shirt or t-shirt with a white and blue huntsman jacket and tracksuits or jeans with trainers.
For Filthy Frank we’re going for a classic drug dealer look with the cheap, out of fashion shirt and them not really caring how they come across.

For Andrew McGregor we’re going for a junkie look for someone who doesn't have much money for clothes and only cares about their next high.


For Lewis Hall we’re going for quite a tough, masculine look but still formal and decent while doing it and someone who cares how they look.

Addiction - Soundtrack analysis of action films.

Addiction - Soundtrack analysis of action films.

The soundtrack analysis was generally easy for us because in most action films we had to include quite intense music to quickly and easily introduce the characters into the opening two minutes, in addition, the soundtrack would heavily influence the mood which the audience should be placed into when they first start watching the movie. Our non-diegetic sound (i.e. music) would have to be relatively intense all throughout the opening as we needed to always have that mood that something is going to happen or that there will be a fight at some point, where the music would intensify even more and gradually stop, which is quite a basic thing to do considering most people do it but at the same time is also very graceful and effective for the audience, as it would build up the tension over time and suddenly stop and confuse everyone. We also used the music to surprise the audience, as suddenly there is tense music and next there is fast paced music which suddenly jumps the audience into the scene which the characters are in.

Also, in other action films such as The Raid, the music is slow at first and builds up over time like most action films, where it works with the action which is happening, e.g. at a fight scene the characters would be getting ready to fight, and then the music would start quiet, then the characters would start fighting and then the music would intensify throughout and then most likely suddenly stop. Most action film music is generally influenced by the genres of dub step and rock music, because generally both of those genres have fast paced music and play a big role in building up tension.

Storyboard

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8dC-I8qAPk

This is the storyboard to our opening 2 minutes of our movie titled 'addiction'.Our storyboard was just a short montage of images which were to show the audience what our plan for our opening two minutes was, so that they could get an idea of what they would be watching, however because of our change of plot we had to redraw it. 

Also, we decided that we should include some music so that it was better in general, rather than just having a simple slideshow of pictures. so it would get us more marks and it would be more effective generally.
