Get Off My Land Evaluation

Get Off My Land - Short Film Recreation Evaluation

Todorov's Narrative

Equilibrium - Couple are going on a walk through a field, thinking that it is a public footpath.

Disruption - Man drives up in his car and tells them they can't be there.

Recognition - Man points a gun at them, saying that he'll fight them if they don't leave.

Attempts To Repair - Woman reassures him that they're going, so he doesn't need to shoot them.

New Equilibrium - The couple is dead and the man goes off, keeping his land private.

Mise-En-Scene

Setting - The setting is a field/public footpath in the day time.

Props - The props used are a gun and a car.

Costume - The farmer is wearing a hat and rain coat and wellies. The man and woman are wearing casual clothes i.e. a jacket, coat and jeans.

Overall Evaluation

I think the film was recreated to the best of our abilities. Some things that could be improved upon are the casting, setting and makeup. We were unable to find an older man to play the farmer so had to settle with an older woman and if done again I would have preferred the man and woman to be older. The sound was interfered with because we filmed on a day that had torrential rain. So if we were to do it again I would film on a clearer day. The person responsible for the makeup was unable to supply the fake blood so we just had to do without.

Here is the film:

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...

Props: - Phone - Over ear headphones - when he puts them on the diegetic sound will become distorted and muffled symbolizing when the inner monologue will start Images of the props I want to use

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. Cast I decided to cast Sam for the role of Samuel because he suited the average British teenager well, he was ea...
