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 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...

Post 5: Production diary

Brainstorm ideas Having discussed with my teacher about my idea, I wasn’t completely sure on the location of my short film that I proposed, I was thinking a bus or a train but using these would mean I have to cancel out the noise of the train completely with the voice over. My main idea was to have a lead character sitting down on his seat on the train (next to a window preferably to show the passage of time and space) and then have an inner monologue of a troubling and maybe even dangerous situation he’s involved himself in to do with maybe a drug deal, as in the journey on the train or bus is the journey to what is going to happen. Im also quite stuck on how to end the short film, I was possibly thinking that I could end it with getting g a very low angle and show him getting of the train or bus and letting the audience decide whether or not he decided to do it, or is he chose safety and good conscience. Almost like a battle of inner good and evil. My inspiration for this idea ...
