Evaluation- How are social groups represented in Our production

How are social groups represented in our production?:

Within our production film we have different characters which are stereotyped typically, we have two ex-soldiers who go off to join in with a drug deal with Lithuanians, they are stereotyped as killers and adrenalin junkies as they are dealing drugs mainly for kicks, and enjoyment. They are also terrorised by the war and haunted by the war crimes they have had to commit. We also have filthy frank who is the main antagonist of our movie; he is represented as a typical thuggish character and exchanges drugs with the two ex-soldiers, he is represented as being adept at fighting as the end scene shows him besting Lewis Hall in unarmed combat, so he isn't the stereotypical muscle bound thug who uses nothing but brute strength.

The different shots and angles within our trailer show close up shots of Lewis hall’s face when he is having a gun being pointed at his face, it shows a scared expression as he is about to die, this comes into direct contradiction that soldiers are fearless due to wartime experience. We also 

Young men in thrillers and in action films tend to be represented as violent and traditionally masculine and this is something that we have adhered to in our production because all the characters are men and are aggressive and masculine as the testosterone-driven ambitions of our characters being involved in crime to ‘make something of themselves’ show this within our film, filthy frank is typically thuggish and Lewis hall and the other characters need to be aggressive in order to avoid jail and survive.

In action films we also have a villain who tends to be killed very early on as almost a minor villain in our production this adheres because we have the other gangster who is out of the production early on replicating this also the stereotypical representation of him being feminine and we imagine ourselves to be the protagonist to give him a good kick in.

Certificate Research

Addiction will be rated a 15 because of its scenes of strong violence and drug use and strong use of language.

In the dialogue scene we have a bag of weed gets passed between two characters which makes reference to drug use and we've use strong violence in the fight scene at the end of the clip.

Addiction- props

Addiction-Props:

With most of our props, they will be average clothing, such as jeans, hoodies, and shirts. The reason we wont include any guns or knives is mainly because that there are legal risks, and if we are caught carrying BB guns or fake knives, might give the wrong impression. However, because of our film idea we will easily be able to take advantage of hand to hand combat, and it doesn't necessarily need any weapons.

Some of the villains will wear worn out clothing, which is mainly to resemble the fact that they are drug addicts and can not afford to buy much clothing. One of the main villains will wear worn out jeans, and maybe some other villains as well.

Relevant online tutorials and comment

the Fighting tutorial is part of our ideas for fighting tutorials and choreography. it is a part of a channel called indie action tutorials which show how to choreograph certain fights and action scenes. for our film trailer we needed to choreograph certain take-downs and strikes. and edit/render it so that within our film it looks good and as best as we can make it. we also looked at another tutorial for fighting scenes from the movie undisputed, a notable fighting movie which is known for its fighting scenes.  we also decided to put sound effects within our movie although we didn't watch a tutorial for this we just put non-copyright music within the movie trailer.

For the first part we use a range of short and medium shots to establish the characters in the film and to capture what they’re doing.

The next part of the film is where Andrew McGregor and Filthy Frank meet up for a drug deal and for the encounter we use a close shot of the hand shake and a 180 reverse shot to capture the conversation.

As Filthy Frank looks towards Lewis Hall, the camera follows Lewis Hall standing up and pointing a gun at Filthy Frank and for this shot we use a close up shot looking down Lewis Halls arm to show the gun pointing at Filthy Frank and then Filthy Frank runs off and Lewis Hall peruses him and the camera follows behind Lewis Hall and then skips to a medium shot facing the wall to show both Filthy Frank and Lewis Hall running past and then skips to a long shot facing up showing Filthy Franks and Lewis Halls feet running.

The next shot shows Andrew McGregor walking away and looking back when he hears Filthy Frank running and for this shot we use a medium shot and then the shot switches around to show Filthy Frank run past and run into Andrew McGregor and for that shot we use a close up shot following Andrew McGregor. Then we see Lewis Hall run into Andrew McGregor pushing him on the ground and for this shot we use a medium shot follow Lewis Hall and we use another medium shot to show Andrew McGregor being pushed on the ground then we use a reverse close up shot’s and a long shot to show Lewis Hall threatening Andrew McGregor with the gun while he’s on the ground and then Lewis Hall running off and then the camera follows Andrew McGregor as he runs away.

Own Film treatment

Film treatment:


Within our movie the plot begins with filthy frank and Lewis hall and Andrew macgregor having a drug deal, while filthy frank looks in the distance with a close-up shot angle of his facial expression being one of seriousness. Filthy frank is basically leading a gang drug deal with two ex-soldiers who basically end up within the criminal business for adrenalin kicks and to get the excitement which they experienced when they were in the war, during the first scene our protagonist Lewis hall is spying on filthy frank and Andrew mcgregor. after a while of waiting  Andrew mcgregor appears from around the building and slow walks towards filthy frank who then looks towards him. After filthy frank and Andrew mcgregor meet after a handshake they start talking, then Lewis hall tries to sneak up to a wooden barricade. whilst he is sneaking filthy frank gives Andrew the drugs, whilst Lewis cautiously watches after they shake hands whilst Andrew walks back around the building filthy frank goes up the stairs and then walks back down, whilst this is happening Lewis hall takes advantage decides to try and capture filthy frank.

However filthy frank notices Lewis hall and proceeds to run away in the direction of Andrew. the chase scene lasts a few seconds, where filthy frank bumps into Andrew and panics and continues running. Whilst the chase scene is happening Andrew notices people running towards his direction and decides to check it out. This is where filthy frank bumps into him.

Lewis hall sprints around the corner of the building in pursuit of filthy frank, but instead crashes into Andrew who is investigating the scene. Andrew is pushed to the floor where Lewis hall threatens him with a gun but decides he doesn't want to kill him as his main target is filthy frank.

As Lewis hall walks around another corner filthy frank grabs Lewis's arm which he is holding the gun with him, and slams him into the wall, then proceeds to throw him onto the ground and kick him. Andrew then gets up  and blocks a punch from filthy frank and takes on a few knees to the body. and then takes him down and hits him several times.

filthy frank picks up the gun Andrew dropped and whacks him around the head and concusses him for a few seconds, and then he stands up and points the gun at Andrew and then it fades out to our production credits.

influence on production

Influence On Production:

our influence on the production of our film was varied, we had different influences, some of it was primarily drug deal scenes from other movies, such as scarface a notable movie which includes a Cuban drug lord who comes to Miami in hopes of becoming a powerful drug kingpin, we also had influences from military films such as Rambo as at least two of our protagonists are ex military and get involved within the drug deal for the adrenalin factor mostly, and because they get scarred from the war and become traumatized as a result.

another influence on our production was for some of the characters we were influenced by comedian and you tuber filthy frank- not his real name, so we called one our characters with the same name, as we thought it would sound good and appropriate for our movie. also we were influenced by games such as grand theft auto 4 and generally just stereotypical eastern European gangsters when we decided to include Lithuanians as part of our cast. for the different scenes as part of our trailer such as the fight scenes we were influenced by fight films such as Undisputed 2, way of the dragon and blood and bone, although the fight scenes pale in comparison to the said movies we tried to emulate some of the fighting moves/choreography used.

more influence on our production we tried to include some humor from you tube videos we watched as part of our outtakes and fails before we edited and rendered, so this meant at first we messed around a bit before actually filming but afterwards got down to the nitty-gritty of the filming itself,

Media studies AS action film cliches

action film cliches:

world weary assassins or green berets or -navy seals who like to pull up ine last suicidal mission after which they will retire.it also helps if they are slightly insane.
- eastern European, Russian Serbian sociopaths who like to go on killing sprees.
- femme fatals who usually get killed or become the victim.

- usually action films also have a protagonist who usually has a special power or hidden talent which puts them ahead of everyone else who is considered 'normal'.

action films also tend to sometimes put the main protagonist ahead of the other characters in the show and focus the story on the main protagonist- which makes sense as the story is mainly about him/her thats why he/she is the main protagonist to begin with.

sex is often used many times within actions films also to get the target audience interested and engaged.

sometimes a training montage such as in rocky where the main protagonist is training to overcome the inevitable obstacle which lies ahead (often a fight or battle), after that usually a victory is ensued after the battle/fight and shows the main protagonist as victorious having overcome the obstacles.

stereotypes are often used as well such as dumb blondes or crazy foreigners, violent thugs who are black, rich aristocratic people who might be British for example.

Initial ideas for Opening two minutes film

Initial ideas:

the genre of our film is action/crime the film itself will be will be set in a mental hospital, most likely St. Thomas abandoned hospital. we will use a variety of different camera angles and shot to entice the audience. afterwards we had to change this because it would be hard to get to St.Thomas abandoned hospital due to train closures and the fact that we would probably be told to leave as soon as we got there, so we decided to change the spot to under a bridge in Guildford,

the film has the main characters Filthy frank who is the main antagonist we also have Lewis and other protagonists who are mainly war veterans and decide to get involved with the drug trade for adrenalin kicks basically, we hope to include combative scenes as well and parkour scenes, a lot of the guys acting within the film have a parkour background so they will be able to do tons of jumps and action scenes afterwards which we will edit and render,

we also hope to include some take downs as well - this will be a part of the fighting scenes, which we will edit afterwards. we also want to be able to film a variety of shots and angles from different points of view such as high angles, low, mid shots.

travel Journey

this is our travel journey we were walking to leather head train station, we had problems because initially one of the trains was cancelled.  so we had to wait for another train to get to dorking then get another train which was going to red hill then one of the stops was Guildford so we would get there.

after that we had to take a train to Guildford London road. which we set up in a certain area after walking through the Forrest. we started taking film clips and footage however our camera didn't have its full battery, so the charge went quick and we had to use our phones instead. mainly Ieuan's phone.

after that we walked through a Forrest area near the Guildford spectrum and then we walked to a area under a bridge with cars above, we did shots and filming there,
