music research
Music research
Picking the music was actually very tricky because we needed
an up beat song but slightly a gritty I found the song we needed eventually its slightly drum and bass but mainly club
land up lifting song like in the opening of football . there was only one
problem with it it had one voice bit in it we needed to get rid of then
stretch the track out .

first day filming
Louise character profile
*Louise there isn't much about l Louise you hardly ever see her around the neighbourhood she allays is hanging out with her friends, she is mostly always seen with her good friend Claire they like to chat a lot and I mean a lot they are normally seen hanging around on the street corners also around field areas. she knows both Vinnie and Tommy pretty well as they see each other around the streets and like to chat now and then, she always likes to flirt when it comes down to boys.
Claire character profile
Claire with Claire she can be really quiet around new people that she has met for the first time but once she has gotten to know they she is a funny, bubbly person. Claire and Louise are close friends I don't think they have ever really been apart from each other being the quiet one she is normally in the background of things but once she gets confident she is always up for a laugh.

Genes
Horror films
are a movie genre seeking to elicit a negative emotional reaction from viewers
by playing on the audience's most primal fears. They often feature scenes that
startle the viewer through the means of macabre and the supernatural and they
also do the physiological horror such as the Blair witch project also some times they may overlap with the fantasy and supernatural
genre. Horrors frequently overlap with the thriller genre and they nearly
always use special effects mainly to show gore .
Horror films
deal with the viewer's nightmares, hidden worst fears, revulsions and terror of
the unknown. Although a good deal of it is about the supernatural, if some
films contain a plot about morbidity, serial killers, a disease/virus outbreak
and surrealism, they may be termed "horror" they show this by doing a
list of shots mainly using different height angles to show power and the threat
by a character and also the other way round to show weakness of other
characters .
Action film
is a film genre where one or more heroes is thrust into a series of challenges
that require physical feats, extended fights and frenetic chases. They
occasionally have a resourceful character struggling against incredible odds
such as, life-threatening situations, an evil villain, the hero will usually have victory achieved at
the end after difficult physical efforts and violence.
Story and
character development are generally secondary to explosions, fist fights,
gunplay and car chases. is classical sped up action with cut throat dialogue lots of explosions and special effects mainly on borders of realism and comedy and thriller
there very easy to be intrigued because
they will make you relate with the character very quickly and usually that’s to
understand the motives for the violence also you see a lot of track shots point
of view shot and a lot non diegetic
pumped up music .
Crime
stories in this genre often highlight the life of a crime figure or a crime's
victims. Or they glorify the rise and fall of a particular criminals, gang,
bank
robber,
murderer or lawbreakers in personal power struggles or conflict with law and
order figures, an underling or competitive colleague, or a rival gang.
Headline-grabbing situations, real-life gangsters, or crime reports have often
been used in crime films. Gangster/crime films are usually set in large,
crowded cities, to provide a view of the secret world of the criminal: dark
nightclubs or streets with lurid neon signs, fast cars, piles of cash, sleazy
bars, contraband, seedy living quarters or rooming houses. Exotic locales for
crimes often add an element of adventure and wealth. Writers dreamed up
appropriate gangland .
Gangster films are morality tales: Horatio
Alger success stories turned upside down
in which criminals live in an inverted dream world of success and wealth. Often
from poor immigrant families, gangster characters often fall prey to crime in
the pursuit of wealth, status, and material possessions clothes and cars
because all other "normal" avenues to the top are unavailable to
them. Although they are doomed to failure and inevitable death usually violent,
criminals are sometimes portrayed as the victims of circumstance, because the
stories are told from their point of view.
Realism is going
on the bases that you are just trying to make as relatable to the audiences as possible
usually using a lot on natural lighting and realistic shots .
'Lock, Stock
and Two Smoking Barrels textual analysis
It’s a crime
thriller genre
. The
opening of the film is the compulsory showing of the film company that funded
the film. The company that funded it was UNIVERSAL, so straight away you get an
impression that this is a big budget movie, along with the first impression
you're expectations are to assume it will be a slick Hollywood Movies. The nest
frame shows the smaller company that actually directed it. It is called SKA,
this smaller company is owned by Guy Ritchie who is also the director of the
film. So when SKA is shown you realise that this film will break barriers in
film techniques. The next shot is of the film credits, the background is all
black that takes your attention to the credits and what they say. The writing
is in a typewriter style, but in white , which makes it a total contrast.
There is no music whilst the starting credits
are being shown, this is another way not to distract your attention by using
harsh music or anything else that distracts you. After the credits it cuts to mid
shot of a market stool first proper scene of the film, again there is no music
which means the main focus is on the first character that is introduced. He is
not formally introduced to us by name, it introduces us by showing us his
personality. The first impression is that the film is going to be realistic.
The lighting looks natural too, nothing that looks too false which holds up the
genre of a crime sort of gangster film. Also the camera angles are associated
with realism in filming techniques another way it will hold up the genre .
The shots
are over the shoulder, giving you the perspective of the crowd around him. The
crowds faces are not focused in on, the main view point is on this mystery
character that we have not yet been introduced to yet.
The audience will have probably already assumed that the scene is in a
large city like London. The character talks using slang language and humour,
interacting with the audience around him. The connotation of this is that he is
educated but not in a well off family, he speaks quickly without stuttering,
and also has a lot of things to say,
Then later
on in the scene we see chase from the police after these two characters and as
they and running down the stares we see a slow motion of the characters throwing the stolen goods and a
cockney narrative starts introducing the characters this is link with the genre
of crime and thriller and used a lot to show the genre more so on the crime gangster
film and is now quite a classic thing to do with especially with British crime
films .
Pleminary exercise
Pleminary exercise: Continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom he/ she then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. This task should demonstrate match on action, shot reverse shot and the 180 degree rule.
