Filming Setup

HEY!

Lauren, James and Ricky here, we've just finished our storyboard based on the teen drama genre and the clever James thought of 'Studenthood' as the title (get it? Kidulthood, Adulthood? no?)

At first, we will admit that it wasn't as easy as we thought. However, it got easier and though there is a lack of logos and the opening title, the soundtrack is repetitive and catchy as well as some good drawings from Ricky himself.

Everyone enjoyed our storyboard so we've incorporated the storyboard so people can take a look and see for themselves...

Here is our basic list of the filming schedule and some props based on the storyboard; 

PROPS:

Plastic gun
Plastic knife
Sherbet (for the drugs - we're not really going to use real ones.... *cough cough*)
Paper (for the drugs)
Ketchup/ fake blood
Money bags (for the drugs)
Bag
Books
Chair
Phone x3
Old top (for Ricky's death scene)

DAYS OF FILMING:

2nd Feb - start scenes, Lauren scenes - props: sherbet, paper, money bags, phone, ketchup
3rd Feb - Fight scene with Ricky and James - props: plastic knife, ketchup
5th Feb  - filming the end scene, edit the film - plastic gun, bag, books, chair, books, bag

We're pretty excited about the filming! Lauren is already asking what she should wear, she's going into Primark ASAP... Typical Girls!

sane Lauren, clever James and Smelly Ricky

I done my storyboard on a teen drama called Mean Girls 

Its about a girl who has moved from Africa and adapts to American high school and starts to find everything is completely different.

object width="480" height="295">

1. First shot is a close up of two characters one male one female looking down. possible by the dialogue it is a young kid starting school or a day at school. Only sound is characters talking. ( diegetic )

2. We then get a close up of the female which we assume is the mum . by the way she is speaking we assume by the sarcastic tone that it is the little child is starting school. More evidence for this is her facial expression. only sound is female talking. ( diegetic )

3. We go back to shot one but it elevates to show how the child get up(point of view shot) perhaps. sound heard is a faint soft music( non-diegetic ) character speaking ( diegetic )

4. We get a over the shoulder shot and for the first time the audience is introduced to the main character. This is where the humor of the movie is produced because she is about 16-17 years of age. sound heard is a faint soft music( non-diegetic ) also characters talking ( diegetic ) 

5. A long shot showing chemistry between the characters the mum cuddles the teen while father takes picture. we assume that it is a big day for the teen by the parents action. music still going ( non-diegetic ) and sound of clothes getting rubbed from the cuddle ( diegetic )

6. Medium shot of father taking pictures still for the big occasion. sound of the camera clicking ( diegetic ) music is still playing ( non-diegetic )

7. Close up of the mum and daughter basically point of view of the camera taking the picture. 

8. Long shot showing house and some scenery by the size of the house we assume they are well off.

9. Close up of mum and daughter same has shot 6 but it shows mum reaction to daughter growing up. 

10. A long shot of a different scene a spelling bee competition gives consumer a sense of confusion.

For homework we had to do a detailed story board for the film genre we're working on.. Our group is Teen Drama!

Narrative of opening of Clerks

http://www.mediaknowall.com/alevkeyconcepts/narrative.html

When we watched clerks we saw that the equilibrium of the narrative is that it is Dante day off. We assume he has been drinking and is hungover because he appears to have been sleeping in the closet. The disturbance is the phone ringing, this is a popular choice in films. The phone call is from his boss asking him to work, this means he could not play hockey.
We then see Dante opening up the shop and he is not happy about being there.

video clip

we watched the opening of kidulthood, this film is based around the same genre as our film, teen drama. it is set in a school where you see many factors of like as a teenager now. bullying,violence, and sex. although it does not cover drugs it is simmilar to ours. ours is set ina college instead of a school, but also deals with violence, particulary knife crime.

the scene is in a school,

STORYBOARD

1. the first shot we see is someone doing tricks with a football, all we see is their legs, we assume its a boy. we hear non diegetic noise in the firm of music, we also hear diegetic noise in the form of people talking in the background. 

2. the first two characters we see are two schoolgirls, we assume because of the Broadwell and Thompson theory, which is that the the first person to walk through a door will be the most important. after watching the whole film we realise that this theory is correct about this film. 

3. we then see an extreme close up of a drillpiece being inserted into a drill, 

4. we are then shown the playground again and one of the girl characters on the phone. this is the first time we hear dialogue. the camera follows her then pans to another set of people this time mainly boys.

5. is a very short shot back to the person playing football

6. we then see a another close up this time a face behind the drill. 

7. we then see another close up of the drill piece spinning showing that he is using the drill. 

8. then next shot is back to the two Original girls and some more dialogue. 

9.we are shown the boy that they are talking about on his Gameboy.

10. then back to them to continue the dialogue. 

Research Production Meeting

We watched a program about film production on E stream. Then we decide James was to be the director, Ricky was the editor and Lauren was the producer. We decided on the logo for the production company and decided upon the name of Doggy Style Productions, the Doggy Style Productions logo would be a dog. We are still deciding on what the dog will look like..

it's either going to be a dog with a cap on backwards with a  fag and some cards in his paws

or

some dog approaching another dog.. maybe even peeing on a lamp post to mark his territory.

we also watched many different openings to films suck as Natural Born Killers, This is England,
