A2 Film Project Aims & Contexts

• Genre: British Crime Thriller
• Target Audience: Mainstream audiences, 18+, open to a range of viewers.
• Influences: Matheiu Kassovitz (La Haine), David Fincher (Fight Club) and Jean-Luc Godard (Bande à part)
• Sequence of a full film.
• Film noir techniques to be used e.g low key lighting, black and white, close ups and narration.
• We will turn a lot of attention to our lighting to create high contrast scenes, as well as exploiting symmetry and rule-of-thirds.
• We will use a wide variety of camera techniques, such as pans, tracking, dutch angles etc.
• We will also experiment with more advanced camera shots such as reverse zooms and the use of a dolly.
• We want to try and break the fourth wall to create a link with the audience and remind them that they are watching a film.
• I will use a range of editing techniques such as jump cuts, split screen and gun flashes.
• We want to incorporate sections of screen tests into our film of the characters, to subtly distinguish between film and reality.
• Last year the actors we chose limited our film. We only had 2, whereas this year we plan on having many more actors (up to 7) to play parts in our film.
• The roles within our group have been clearly assigned as follows:
• Director/Cinematographer - Alice Hone
• Editor - Daniel Barnett
• Camera/Lighting - Michael Baker
• Sound - Ellis Cooper
