What i have learnt?

 I have learnt from doing this practice filming is angles of shooting and how our ideas change during the filming and creation of a film.

Permissions for Filming / Photography and Music

 

Props / Costume Boards

Props/ costumes boards

 

These are the headphones worn by Jacob in the start of the film. I think its important that the wearing of these headphones is emphasised because it shows how he keeps himself to himself and likes to switch off and just listen to his music.

 This is Jacob’s phone this is used a few times in the film. We see him receive texts off the bullies on this phone and we see him go on his phone when he is awaiting the bullies because he is nervous



 











Thisis the gun that Jacob uses to scare off the bullies and the gun that is eventually used to shoot Adam. The gun is a very important object in the film as it is so unexpected for Jacob to posses such a deadly weapon.

This is Jacob’s costume … He still wears fashionable clothes despite being unpopular. He has a good fashion sense wearing a branded hoodie, nice jeans and stylish shoes. He dresses like a typical teenager so this represents his character well.

This is Beth’s costume… she wears fairly baggy clothing and doesn’t really take much pride in her appearance as she knows that no body will criticize her because she is so intimidating. You could say she dresses quite ‘gangster’ so therefore her outfit represents her character nicely.

This is Adams costume… despite being part of this gang Adam does not represent this in the way he dresses. He has quite a smart dress code and takes pride in his appearance.






 

This is Dom’s costume… Being Beth’s brother you’d expect him to dress quite scruffy but actually he takes a lot of pride in his appearance. He always tries his best to look good which kind of shows that he doesn’t follow the gang stereotype

 

Location Recce and Risk Assessment

setting board

This is were we film were the main character leaving the school. Just a basic corridor where jacob has been having a study lesson and people are texting him as they dont like him and are aksing for trouble.

This is another shot of the corridor jacob walks along to go to meet the gang.

These stairs could be a hazard for jacob throught the film and we had to be extra careful filming donw these but we managed just fine.
Jacob walks down these stairs listening to music through our film.

Name: Jacob Riley

Bio: Jacob is a teenager who loves school and is a typical hard worker and enjoys spending time studying. He keeps himself to himself and is really quiet. He’s never been one for violence and tends to avoid conflict. He is used to being bullied but has never done anything about it. He dresses like a typical teenager wearing hoodies and jeans etc.

Character

Name: Beth

Age: 17

Bio: Beth is not your average girl. She is a tough. She has a clear rough upbringing and doesn’t seem to care if she hurts someone's feelings. She is the main bully and scares people into being friends with her, she's certainly an Alfa character. She wears fairly baggy clothing and dresses kind of scruffy.

Character

Name: Adam

Age: 17

Bio: Adam is the muscle of the gang. He defends Beth and Dom. However he is a bit of a sheep and tends to follow Beth around sucking up to her. He wears quite trendy clothes and keeps in with the fashion.

Character

Name: Dom

Age: 16

Bio: Dom is Beth's little brother and she has pretty much raised him. Like Adam he is a bit of a sheep and follows Beth around. Because he has been brought up with violence he sort of knows no different and will do whatever Beth tells him. He wears nice clothes, chinos, round neck etc.

Storyboard

Storyboard of my film

My storyboard is going to help me towards my film because i've planned what i am going to be doing for each part of the film and managed to put in all the shots.
I have changed parts of my storyboard because we are no longer filming in the bandstand due to timing of the film and the problems of crossing the main road which is a hazard to our filming and safety, we are sticking to the gang confont Jacob in the school grounds when he leaves his study lesson.

Institutional research

Institutional Research

Warner Bros entertainment inc

formerly known as Warner bros studios is an american producer of film, television and music entertainment. it's one of the major film studios, it is subsidiary of time Warner.
Warner bros produce films such as "lights of new York" which was the first full talking film and then on to "on with show" which was the first full talking colour film, by 1930 Warner bros were producing 100 motion pictures a year and controlled 360 theaters in united states and 400 abroad. The company started doing gangster films such as the "public enemy" then moved onto musical films, adventure and drama films. Warner bros later success included "The Exorcist" and "The Fugitive" which are good selling films.

Paramount Pictures

Corporation (commonly known as Paramount Pictures or simply Paramount) is a film and television production/distribution studio, consistently ranked as one of the largest (top-grossing) film studios. Paramount is a member of the motion pictures It has distributed various commercially successful film series, such as Shrek, Transformers, Mission: Impossible,

Film production companies

 such as Warner bros and Paramount pictures generate money from films in several ways. The first is theaters; a production company/studios take is largest in the opening week. This is why they focus on having a blockbuster weekends, the longer they run the film the more money they generate. Other ways include DVD sales, foreign distribution, video and on demand; new formats such as IMAX widescreen presentation, movies in 3D have allowed the industry to charge
5pounds more per ticket. Warner worldwide grossing on "I am Legend" was$584million.

The kind of media institution that might distribute my media text...

I think that the people that would distribute my media text would be Warner Bros or Paramount as they have done many Action thriller films and our film is a similar style to theirs so they would be interested in distributing it.

The are many other films companies that could distribute my film but I think paramount pictures will be the best choice as it has other films that follow the same lines as our film. There are films like "Jack Reacher" and "mission impossible" which are the action/thriller films that paramount have done, these films did well in the world wide appeal. 

Real World 

I think my film would be distributed in many cinemas and TV channels such as Vue and Film 4 on television.
My film follows many film lines that have been shown on TV such as Jack reacher it includes getting there own back on other people and a lot of tension considering its thriller. In some ways i think my text could like a real film being presented at the cinemas but its only if we had the proper filmers and actors and a bit more detailed of a film .
Our film is appropriate to be shown as its only a 15 and many films have been done like ours before.

what I have learnt?
 

I have learnt from doing this institutional research what is used to make real films and how money is generated through films such as leaving them in cinmas and having blockbuster weekends.
