actors rehearsing there lines

These are clips of my actors rehearsing their lines. I have recorded them so i could replay it back at them so they could see what needs to improve. I laos recorded this as a audition for my actors to see if they fit the role of my characters.

Setting up different equipments

I wanted to get as many different shot types and angles in my trailer and i was aware i didn't have the equipment that big movie trailer had. I worked with what i had, which was a video camera provided by my school and a camera i had at home. The second camera i used it as a spare camera to capture different shots, i wanted it to capture a high angle shot of the camera Amelia. I had to work with the equipment i had so in other to make the shot look as good as possible and get the high angle shot i desired i had to use props such as a table and i placed a chair on it and then placed the tripod on the chair with my camera hooked onto it.
This caused some problems because there were some safety issues such as the camera falling on someone or while i was setting it up i could have fallen. This what the equipment setup looked like

songs that i am considering for my trailer

Olly murs ft demi Lovato; I want to use the acoustic version for my trailer. I want to use this at the beginning of my trailer as Amelia is building up her story



Ed Sheeran; Photograph, i think this song will go very will with my trailer, i am not planning on using the whole song throughout because it will be dull and i am planning on using music to develop the intensity of my trailer: this song will only be in a section of the trailer other ed sheeran songs include bloodstream, one and I'm a mess



Ben Howard; End of the affair, i believe this song is good fir my trailer at the beginning because it is slow and the instrument and the build up of the music shows that something important has or will be happening




Catfish and the bottlemen: tyrant and  Homesick; I like these songs because they have some sort of indie rock style to it, i think this goes with my main character Amelia because she is sort of a rock chick therefore these songs will go with her personality as a character


London grammar; wasting my young years /// hey now- ; i think this song is good because it has a deep meaning to it and the lyrics goes very well with the plot of my trailer, the song talks about being a teenager. I believe the song will fit perfectly in the beginning of my trailer and will give out a string message to my audience



Half moon run- full circle

The temper trap; sweet disposition: i think this song is very powerful, the tempo of the song builds uo very slowly and moves my audience along with it, i have seen this song used in a number of trailer related to my genre and i think it will speak a lot to my audience.

Editing research

Editing my clips to make it look professional and blend into smoothly is something I have found very difficult. I have noticed the more I try to add different effects onto my to make it look more professional, it comes across looking amateur. For my trailer I want editing that looks simplistic but also gives effect for my audience. I am aware I do not have the same technology that production companies such as 20^th century fox or warner brothers have but I have been researching into movies in my genre (romantic Drama) and look into the type of editing they use.

The first movie I looked into was created by temple hill entertainment and distributed by 20^th century fox, the movie was The Fault in our stars (TFIOS) which came out on June 2^nd 2014.  TFIOS is a movie about two teenagers who both have different cancer conditions, the two fall in love after meeting at a cancer group support. The director of TFIOS is called Josh Boone, he has also directed the movie Stuck in love which was also a huge success.

TFIOS was a major blockbuster movie, it was a huge movie with a huge budget. The budget of TFIOS was $12 million, and the movie got a profit of over $52 million. As the movie was distributed by massive company such as 20^th century fox, TFIOS would have had the budget to get high tech equipment to make their editing very professional. 20^th century fox is known for creating new technologies to push the boundaries of movie making. An example of this is from Avatar where the director James Cameron created new technologies and thought outside of the box when creating Avatar. This showed to have been successful as avatar budget was a massive was $237 million but received a profit of over $2billion.

In TFIOS the camera work is cleverly used, the use of different angles helps the audience relate with the characters and feel more involved with them. The editing is also a huge part of the success of this movie, the editing emphasises on the characters and captures the emotions of the characters, and this draws the audience in.
This scene is maybe the most popular scene in the film, the scene is on the trailer and was also the first scene released in the build-up of the film. The editing in this clip is very clever, there is a range of different shot types, angle shot and editing used in order to allow the audience feel involved and also for the audience to feel the emotion the characters are feeling. 4 seconds into the clip there is an over the shoulder shot of Hazel, I believe this shot is very strong because it is almost like a Point of view shot (POV), but instead the shot allows the audience to see the body language of both characters. Throughout the whole clip the audience cans see both of the characters, even though you can’t always see a characters face you can see their body language and come to a conclusion of what the character is feeling, this shows the relationship between the two characters. I would like to incorporate this into my own film, my film revolves around the relationship of two characters and I believe this shot will be very strong in my clip.
I really like this clip because in my film there is a point where my two characters meet for this first time and I believe this clip is very strong and can give me ideas on different angles, shot and editing. This clip is very simple but also speaks very loudly and I would like to have my clip looking similar to this.

Questionnaire on film logo

Results from film logo questions

These are the results I got from my questionnaire on surveymonkey, I am pleased with my results because the film logo my audience chose was the logo I was moist confident in and also the logo I put most time and thought into and I believed this logo was the most unique. I asked my audience if they thought that my logo was similar to any existing logos and all of my responses said no that they though it was different from the logos from big production companies. I am very happy with my results and happy that my audience has chosen the logo I thought was best suited for my film.

collective identity

The Inbetweeners movie is about 4 teenage friends who have just finished their A-levels and are about to leave secondary school for good, and Mr Gilbert their sarcastic sixth form tutor. In their final week of Jay’s grandfather dies, Simon is dumped by his girlfriend and Will’s divorced father informs him that he has just married his much younger girlfriend. The 4 boys decide to go on holiday together to get away from the stress of home, Neil books the boys a trip to Malia, Crete.British youth are represented negatively in this film, the boys are represented as irresponsible, sex crazed, childish and shallow.  The characters in the Inbetweeners appeal to a wide audience. Each character of the Inbetweeners has a different personality, the idiot, the geek, the over confident and the normal guy. Most of the Characters use a lot of non-standard English, which the media assumes most teenagers use. They use slang language which mostly have crude meanings. There is a difference in the way the characters in the movie speak, which shows different representations of British youth. Will’s character is smart, confident, well read, quick-witted and outspoken. Will does not speak like the other characters in the movie, there is a clear difference in the way he communicates with the other characters. Jay is the complete opposite to will, Jay constantly uses foul language, he constantly refers to sex and uses a lot of slang words which others do not understand.

The Characters behave differently during the movie, Will is the mature character who tries getting the rest of the group to behave properly whereas jay is the one who gets the group in trouble. Jay is represented as a trouble maker, the one who lies in order for others to think he is cool. Jay is represented as being peer pressured to do things like drugs etc. in order to fit in with his age group. The movie is set in Crete which is a holiday destination for young people to get drunk, party and get away with things they wouldn’t if they were in the U.K.  The movie shows the boys going to clubs, partying getting drunk and aggressive this represents how the British youths are portrayed in society.
The Inbetweeners links with collective identity theory as it follows some of the theorist ideas.Stryker theory argued that people create their identity by interacting with others. This is shown in the movie as the boys start to spend more time together, the audience can see that the characters develop a consistent set of behaviours such as constantly getting drunk, getting in trouble or trying to chat up a girl. This behaviours are expected from the characters as this behaviour is consistent during the movie and is become a ‘social expectation’.The Inbetweeners supports Tafjal and Turner’s theory, their theory says that people don’t just have one “personal self” but several selves. In the movie we see the characters change personalities around different people. When Simon was with his ex-girlfriend his personality changed to suit her needs and diverged away from his friends in order to impress her. This is the same for Will, social identity changed when he meet a girl who he thought was completely out of his league, he started to act differently in other to get the girl to notice him, he tried to be more confident around her which is not we see a lot in the rest of the movie when he is with his friends. Will changes from being the geek to the ‘ladies’ man’.There is evidence of Bakhtin theory in this film, in the beginning of the film Jay is represented as a sex crazed, irresponsible teenager. As the movie continued his identity started to change as he was no longer attracted to the typical skinny, blonde girl he usually goes for. Jay became more caring, kind and thoughtful which was different from the way he behaved in the beginning of the movie.

Narrative Theory essay

The Spectacular Now is a movie about Sutter Keely who is focused on living in the “Now”. Sutter loves to party and has no plans for the future, he is an alcoholic but refuses to see so. Sutter meets a girl Aimee Finecky who is different, she dreams of a future while Sutter lives in a delusion of having a spectacular now.

Todorov theory applies to The Spectacular Now, the movie starts with everything being fine, Sutter is happy living with his beautiful girlfriend, he has an amazing job and is the popular guy. This changes when a problem occurs as Sutter’s girlfriend dumps him and Sutter starts to drink more. This disequilibrium is the start of the main story line is the film, without this problem happening Sutter would have not met Aimee. According to Todorov there is a new equilibrium, which happens in the movie as Sutter and Aimee start becoming close and everything becomes happy and the problem is solved. However this Todorov’s theory repeats itself as a disequilibrium happens when Aimee forces Sutter to go and visit his father which didn’t turn out well, the disequilibrium became worse when Sutter gets angry with Aimee and tells her to get out of the his car and she is hit by a bus. As Todorov said there is a new equilibrium which was Sutter going after Aimee as she moved city.

Levi-Strauss believed there are binary opposites in films, this is evident in the spectacular now, as Sutter lives in a “Spectacular now”, while Aimee plans for a future and wants to go to university. A clear binary opposite in the movie is between the two main characters, Aimee is innocent the ‘nice girl’ while Sutter is a bad-boy who is a budding alcoholic.  There are binary opposites of love vs hate, Aimee is in love with Sutter but he doesn’t think he is worthy of love. There is binary opposite between Aimee and Sutter’s ex-girlfriend (Cassidy), Aimee is the innocent girl who doesn’t wear any make-up, unpopular, reads fiction novels, and has never kissed a boy where Cassidy is the popular girl, wears a lot of make-up the “whore”.

In the spectacular now, there are some of Propp’s 7 broad character types. In the film Aimee and Sutter take on different roles of the character types. During the course of the film, Aimee is mainly the princess as she ends up being together with Sutter at the end of the film, but Aimee changes course in the film from the helper, to the dispatcher. She makes Sutter realize he has a problem and help him try and solve it to make him realize he is living in a deluded world of a specular now. Sutter goes from being the villain to being a hero and this role switches back and forth for Sutter. He is fighting his own demons therefore making him the Villain but also makes the hero when he realizes he is the reason he is not moving forward.

Barthes believed a film was either closed or open. The spectacular now is a closed film. There is only one obvious storyline, one obvious ending which is Sutter going after Aimee. The film has an obvious narrative and there is no room for it to unraveled different ways because the narrative is very clear from the beginning.

There are elements of Barthes action code in this movie such as Aimee calling Sutter while in a different shot Sutter is looking at the phone, the audience is left wondering if he will pick the call or not. Unlike action/thriller movies there are no action codes like a character pulling out a gun so the audience is left wondering if they will shot another character. There are a lot of Enigma codes in the spectacular now, the audience is left with questions which are later answered in the movie. The first Enigma code is when Sutter wakes to find he passed out on a stranger’s lawn, this leaves the audience with questions of how he got there, this is later revealed in the movie, and the audience’s questions are answered. Another unanswered question was if Sutter was going to get back with his ex-girlfriend, this question is dragged on till the end of the movie.

The spectacular now is in a linear narrative, the movie goes in story starting from the beginning till the end, however the first few scenes are of Sutter having flashbacks to how amazing his previous life was. The movie has elements of non-linear narrative, when Sutter gets drunk again he gets flashbacks of the people he’s let down and disappointed. Apart from the flashbacks Sutter has, most of the movie goes in an order, it has a beginning, middle and an end.
