TITLE: Although we didn't include the title of
the film in the actual two minute clip, we did include it as a title for the
you tube video, this was mainly because we wanted to cut down on time and be
able to include as much time as we can of the film. the title was mainly
influenced by the fact that our story is about a drug deal, and the word
Addiction was best suited towards this fact.
STORY: Lewis Hall is a combat addicted ex-soldier
who goes after drug gang for kicks and Andrew McGregor who is just a junkie
buying weed off one of the main drug suppliers Filthy Frank. At the start of
the film Lewis Hall is spying on the drug deal waiting for an opportunity to
intercept the drug deal.
Characters
Introduced: We introduced our characters mainly at the beginning of the short
film, and this was mainly because we wanted to quickly get the audience to
understand what is happening, as the protagonist, lewis hall is introduced
right at the beginning, it is seen that he is spying on a man, who is later then
introduced talking to another antagonist.
SETTINGS: We set this film at a scout hut in
Oxshott, our main reason for this was because it was quite secluded, and we
could rent out the area for the day and be able to hold one of ieuan's bb guns
without people wanting to call the police on us thinking we are holding a real
gun. The place had lots of trees around it so it allowed for some good lighting
which we could use to our advantage.
CAMERA WORK: for our camera work and editing, we had mainly relied on
the tripod to help us film and keep the camera stabalised throughout our
filming. also, we had tried many different shot types and experimented with
mixing up shots in order to create a chain of events which could gradually work
together and form a clip. also, the editing process was quite vigorous because
we had to ensure that the music was fitting, as well as cutting and editing
each clip, as well as shortening and lengthening the shots using various tools
on adobe premier elements.
SPECIAL
EFFECTS: because we filmed an action film, we had
generally thought that our initial plan was to avoid so much special effects,
however we did decide to add certain sound effects to enhance the fight scene,
because it ensured that the ''hits'' would have an actual impact ( through the
viewer's eyes ) and so that was the only special effect we really used, apart
from the introduction where it fades from our logo to the start on the opening
two minutes.
Genre and
how the opening suggests it.
Our film is a
action/crime film, and because of this we needed to acquire music which helps
influence things such as chase scenes and fight scenes, which are in almost all
action films. The opening suggests that this film is an action/ crime theme
because the intro is very quick and sudden, and the music is quite loud, and
there is no real introduction to the characters because of the tense moment
which the audience is suddenly thrown into, where Lewis Hall is spying on
Filthy Frank.
COSTUMES AND
PROPS: Our costumes were relatively simple,
this is because the characters were in the drug industry, and they wouldn't be
wearing any fancy clothing, also, the character Lewis Hall is an ex
military man, so he would be acting as ''undercover'', which means that his
clothing would be similar to the drug dealers, but at the same time dividing
himself from the crowd. Our only prop was a BB gun, which was seen at several
parts of the film.
TITLE FONT AND
STYLE: For our opening two minutes, we
didn't include a title, this was mainly because we wanted to quickly introduce
the characters, however, we did place a title on the YouTube video.
