Tyrannosaur Swede Plan

For this shoot there were three scenes that needed to be completed. For each shoot we all had different roles and the roles were switched around for each scene. The roles were a director, producer, 2 cinematographers and actors. Before we started filming we had to make call sheets, screenplays and storyboards doing this would make the process of filming more efficient and earlier because we would know what we had to do for each section.

For the all scenes we followed the screenplay and then adapted it to the situation.  The filming was successful and we got a lot of different shots so that when it comes down to the edit we have lots to choose from and if some of the shots did not work out then there are alternatives to choose from.

Our first screen was to imagine a man shouting while walking out of a bookies , he then proceeds to walk down an alley and kill his dog. We copied this by having Will ( William ) walk out of a door near the gym that had an alley type pathway running down the side , we showed him walking out then talking to his butler and then kicking his dog killing it. 

The second shoot was the funeral of the dog. We filmed this on the front lawn of our school by an ache of willow that looked appropriate for the situation. We had 2 rows of 3 actors with will and his butler ( Thomas ) and a girl to his left and the priest was in front of him. As the priest said his peach will laughed which contrast with the real film as he was crying. 

The third scene showed will running into an app stores and diving under the table , the girl ( Niamh ) tries to help him and convinces him to come up from under the table , he then invited her out for dinner and she accepts his offer. 

When we first shot the scenes we had difficulties with filming because the areas we choose had limited lighting and it was noisy making the audio hard to hear. We solved these problems in the second attempt by making all the scenes in open out side areas that wouldn't be too loud.

Pitch Video

This is a video i edited to be played in the background when i am presenting my idea. It includes some brief information that i will expand on in person such as locations, camera shots and sound. It also features screenshots from possible locations that will be used in my film opening.

York Film Festival

I made the following notes at york film festival

Crossing creative platforms

• This is england started as a feature film, it made 1.8m. It won best british film and other awards.
• Warp are not moving away from film to tv. They have always done TV. This is enlgand went onto DVD. Warp have done more films than tv. 
• Up to 2010 the majority of their work was in film. 2.2m people watched the first this is england episode. This indicates that there is demand for tv. People didn't used to cross over from TV to film so when directors who used to work on tv changed to film people were sceptical if they could be a success.
• The technical elements of shooting between TV and Film are very similar. TV is often lower paid than Film work.

Cinematography

• The BBC have started to use film again. Lots of film is shot on 16mm. Lucas uses Digital and Spielberg  uses film. BBC didn't show films shot in 35mm. 
• Equipment isnt important, films are about the story. On a typical set there will be one wide, one medium and one small camera. Scripts important to make a smooth good film. 
• Film making is a collaboration, everyone has a job. 
• Breaking the code - generally you never film a woman on a 16mm because they will look distorted, always a 35mm.
• Film as much as you can - experience is key Ianthe industry
• The cinema is still important - want to feel the reaction of others around you, better than on netflix on your own, need to keep people coming to the cinema.
• Fuji film is good - ran technicolour out of business,

Opening First Idea

The genre of the movie is going to be action. The opening is going to consist of a intense fast paced chase scene. It will have either two or three characters. Either one character chasing the other or two characters chasing one. The chase will take place on foot. It will through different locations throughout leeds such as car park roofs and small back alleys to change the setting up therefore the viewer will not get bored of seeing the same type of background over and over.

It will begin with the protagonist unknown of the upcoming event bu they are being watched by either one or two enemies. The protagonist will be acting casual and normal. This will result in them being shocked when they start to get chased. There will be a variety of shot types throughout the opening such as close up shots of feet running and close up of each character to show their emotions throughout the chase. Other shots could be extreme long shots of both characters and long shots of one character to show all their movements. It will consist of quick shot changed to keep up the intense and dramatic effect because if there was just one shot for two long it wouldn't keep up the fast paced effect. It may also have some POV shots. It will consist of close calls between the protagonist and the chasers this create suspense. It would include shaky camera movement to match the movement and feel of the characters.

The music in the opening scene would be dramatic music which is very fast paced, this type of music would fit to to the shots because they would also be quick shot changes. The music would be d
non-diegetic. The opening scene would also include diegetic sounds such as the foot steps of the characters and background sounds.

Location: 

The location for the opening scene will take place all in leeds city centre and also leeds train station.

It will be filmed in the back streets and on building roofs, this will mean while filming we can avoid big crowds and not have people getting in the way of filming. It may be hard to avoid crowds in the train station but we can choose the right time when the station is not that busy.

Some inspiration that i have for this opening scene is the opening of casino royal, quantum of solace and point break.
