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'.

Post 11: Costume and makeup

No makeup is needed in my film, I will only be talking about costumes and provide an example. Over the entire shoot I will only need one costume for the main character. The costume will consist of: A hoodie that is black/ navy A beanie Black cargos Black and white trainers The costume will develop and use over ear headphones to help signify the inner monologue that’s commencing. The strangers on the train will be actual strangers, but as a backup I will bring 2 other older people in their late 20s to act as them, this way I have a safety net incase actual strangers wont work. For the mother, It will just be anything out her wardrobe, preferably muted grey colors to go along with the dullness and grey settings.

Post 13: Sound

Script The start of the film will be here, I wont be using the diegetic sound of the area because the wind was extremely loud on practice recording every time so instead ill use mild white noise. The heart beat will be a sound i use of YouTube link attached: Fades in from black Samuel walks into the train station, on his phone texting his friends, suddenly he receives a text that seems to put a serious expression on his face. 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 4: What I want to do and why

IDEA: My main ideas is going to follow a new comers trip on a train to collect drugs and re sell them for a profit, whilst having an inner monologue of the thoughts about what he's doing and what can happen to him and how he could ruin the lives around him. SETTING: The setting would be on a train or a bus with faint background noise of the bus and the outside cars to add a sense of realism as this kind of event occurs more often than though. It would be a trip spliced into three individual scenes on different areas on the bus/ train so it would seem like the character was restless COSTUME: My costume is going to look like the average 17 - 25 year old dress wear to show that the character is somewhat normal but is becoming involved in crime. MAKEUP: N/A CINEMATOGRAPHY: My short film will consist of a lot of medium/close up shots of the male character when he is on the train or bus. This is because these scenes highlight the characters emotions, i want...
