Tittle research

Tittle research

The tittle we decided to use was away diaries we decided to use the name away diaries because we are  doing a football hooligan film and we thought it would be a good  name  and it kind of went with the tittle because in the film it is quiet ruff and it shows you how supporters are so committed to their club that if someone else supports a rival they would dislike them for that reason. are original name of the film was away days but we didn't realize that a film was already called that which was published in 2009 so we had to change the name to away diaries because we weren't allowed to copy write someone else film. The reason we called away diaries because its about to west ham fans who got away tickets to football grounds around the country and the diaries all about their days and what they get up to.

Evaluation of preliminary task

Evaluation of Preliminary Task 

Today in media we made a clip for our preliminary task my group involved me, Luke and Ryan. we used different media techniques to make our clip. one technique we used was 180 degree rule so we had two characters speaking to one each other but one of us was recording him whilst the other one was acting it out then we swapped it around to make it look as if we where talking to each other but really we was talking to no one i thought that is a really effective technique because it looks very realistic and if i was an audience member i would think that we where actually someone there when i was talking in front of me.
we also used shot reverse shot and that is when one character is looking at another character and the other character is looking back at him and he is supposed to be opposite him and i feel the audience member thinks that they are speaking to each other so i think that is a very good technique, one of us was sitting down on the table while the other character was recording him while he was talking. Thirdly We were able to use some effects between each short clip that we filmed which were quite effective however i do think that we could of thought about it a bit more and put a bit more effort in to make it look even more professional.

Planning Targets

Your planning needs evidencing fully - so upload everything you have for submission.  Schedules, interviews with actors, video diaries, storyboarding and scripting, soundtrack research, title research all need in depth consideration from you.

Interview questions

What is your role in the film and what is your expected to do in the film?

I will be one of the agents that have been chosen to hunt down the villain who is Ghalib. Both I and Ryan will be part of a spy agency that is made to save the world when it is at risk. So when Ghalib is released into everyday life and he suffers from PTS and starts destroying everything then it is up to me and Ryan to save the world and stop Ghalib.

What is your previous experience in acting?

I have no experience in acting; I did not take drama at GCSE so unlike Ghalib I do not have that to help me. However I have been involved in acting throughout this coursework acting in the preliminary task so do have some practise.

Why is your role challenging and what is good about your role?

My role is challenging as it I something that I have not done before and something that will take a bit of practise. To be able to act as though I am part of a really important spy agency will be difficult but I do think that I will be able to pull it off. The good thing about my role is that I also have Ryan to work with so he could help me out sometimes to get me into role.

Who is your favourite actor?

My favourite actor is Johnny Depp, this is because he is a really flexible actor and I like this about actors. All of his roles are so different yet he manages to play them so perfectly and this shows very well about how much of a good actor he is.

Who is your favourite antagonist?

My favourite antagonist by far has got to be the late Heath Ledger who famously played the role of the Joker in The Dark Knight. He plays his role very well and very effectively. The way he plays a villain actually gets the audience scared of him this is how effective he was.

Soundtrack Research

Soundtrack Research

Background Music- In our film we will try and put in some background music within the scene. This is what most the spy/agent films have, it is used and is very effective within the film. background music is used to add emotion and rhythm to a film. Usually not meant to be noticeable, it often provides a tone or an emotional attitude towards the story or the characters within the film. In addition background music foreshadows a change in mood. For example dissonant music may be used in film to indicate an approaching(but not yet visible) menace or disaster. This type of music is non dietetic music this is because it is music that the characters can not hear. The clip below is from the film jaws, this film is most famous for its well known soundtrack that it has. The film manages to cause a large amount of tension and suspense when this soundtrack is played, this is because the audience knows that something is going to happen and it is not going to be good.




Sound Effects- There are many different sound effects that can be used to create a large feeling of suspense.Synchronous sounds contribute to the realism of film and also help to create a particular atmosphere. For example, the “click” of a door being opened may simply serve to convince the audience that the image portrayed is real, and the audience-may only subconsciously note the expected sound. However, if the “click” of an opening door is part of an ominous action such as a burglary, the sound mixer may call attention to the “click” with an increase in volume; this helps to engage the audience in a moment of suspense.

Costume and Location research



The location we chose was leatherhead train station  because its a good destination to set our film and it goes well with what we are doing. The costume we are wearing is all black  jacket and grey hoodie and the person who is getting chased through the scenes is wearing his own clothes.  I think with a football hoolagon film this is a great destination as they are all getting the train to a football game. And its a great scene because you would expect that when you go to a football game.
