Get off my land - planning

Get off my land.

In this task we will be recreating a short film, trying to match every detail of it in our own way. The video we're re-creating is here;

Setting

We're planning on filming our movie at Wymondham Abbey. This is because its an area of rural landscape which will be ideal for all of our shots for example, during our dialogue with the farmer, and also each and every walking shot etc. Also its perfect due to it having a gate which will easily match our gate sequence.

Costume

Regarding costume, our cast will be very similar to the video with the farmer wearing very farm like clothes maybe with welly boots and a big jacket. Our couple would be typical hike clothes sort of, trainers, jackets, jeans and even backpacks sort of as they're on a long walk.

Props

Hair and make-up

When the younger male is shot, we'll use fake blood on the females face to portray a heavy bullet has just killed this other man.

Lighting

Natural lighting will be achieved through the use of the sun during the day, this will be easy access due to our location.

Story board and written script

Our cast will consist of a couple members from my group, and we'll be getting a friend to play the 'Old man'.

He walks over to the benches to take a seat and wait for his train. He walks onto his train, taking a seat on a table seating area on the right hand corner of the carriage against the window, filmed using a long cut following him from behind onto his seat stopping where the table starts. He puts his headphones on, and it fills the outside sound . Inner monologue begins “I can’t believe I’ve got myself into this.” Said Samuel in a disappointed and worried tone. “I just need to get this over with and then I can be done with it. I can’t let anyone know w...

Post 10: Final casting

List of the characters Main character - Samuel although never mentions name in the short film. People on the train - I was hoping that the general public on the train would be ok with me just filming short clips of them. Samuels Mother - In a flash back Short character profile Samuel (17 year old boy), who is also the character in the inner monologue, is an average boy from the UK who gets involved with the wrong people and has to come to a solution for his problem or face what has decided to do with himself, he is an average teenager with normal friends who has a history of being slightly mischievous, this trait he possesses has slowly grown over the course of his life and might eventually be landing him in a lot of trouble however he decides to reflect on who he would be hurting because there is still a part of him that cares.
