Filming

Today we filmed the first scene of our film opening, we only came across one or two problems such as lighting, which were easily avoided, by finding a room with enough light so that we could film! Another problem we were having was finding a suitable room because the room we would choose had to be reasonably bare so that nothing would affect the affect we were trying to give, once we found the room it was just a matter of getting things set out how we wanted it to be.

When filming as we were following our thumbnails we added the odd shot here and there to help improve the quality and variety of shots being used! We will next be filming on Monday and if everything goes to plan, we will only need to film again if some shots dont look as good as we would of liked.

Types of accents used for our film.

As our film is a English type of gangsta film (snatch) we need a strong accent from the south, from looking at my southern and northern research (look on my blog) i found out that southern would be the best form to go into to as they have more stronger and clearer voices. The only problem is if our actors can pull it off.

But then from watching snatch I found some accent that they use would be perfect for our opening scene:

SMIG: Turisk from snatch is a perfect fro the voice of Smig, i just think abit more crud and duller and it will be perfect for our main character as the accent brings out a strong and thuggish tone and makes the character and matches with his clothes and style. As I am playing smig I can do this kind of accent so we don't need to worries about miming it or looking for another which would of been hard for this type of character.

RICKY: For Ricky is a hard decision as we need his character to be intimidating but formal at the same time so we came up with the voice of formal but deep and aggressive, so a angry sort of tone is used for this action, this makes the character intimidating and commanding.

THOMPSON: This we found this accent very easy to sort out all we need is a butch and strong and arrogant cockny to make him look like a stereotype thug and outlaw. So who no other than Vinnie Jones accent, as Thompson is a part time drug dealer in our film role its perfect for what we are aiming for.

HUNTER: Looking at hunter we went risky with his accent because his character don't really resemble anyone and is not a good stereotype, as this character is big and immitdating to other we need a low and deep voice and a hint of cockny or gangsta type. We only thing we can link hunters voice with is from zombieland of the voice of woody harrelson or if the person whos acting cannot pull of the accent then we simply go for a deep and strong tone, not to over the top a formal and clear voice. Or we could be risky and go for the voice of 'Boris the Blade' but the accent of the tone may not match the character backgorund but that could be our last resort.

4 FINGER JONES: Does not have line remains quite this will bring out a character within not saying a word and keeps to himself.
So with these ideas of accent we now can think of a more visual idea and is easier to read to story out and sort out the lines for the scirpts.

Moodboard for our film

This is the moodboard we have genertaed through mine and Ians ideas. What we did to get this outcome is the me and Ian came up with classic gangsta films and propps to look at, then we copyed the images from google and save them into my pictures, from there i went on paint and cutted pieces of the images out which i thought would work and give us a mind map of what we are aiming to get in our final design. So these are all little ideas that give us back up if we spill up somewhere, also we can use scene from these for a weapons, acting propps, setting, mise en scene etc.

Also for a little effect using paint shop pro i made the pictures stand out more so the moodboard wasnt dull and boring and also it gives us ideas for our poster for our final design also.

So bascially a funky mind map of ideas we can progress and more upon =).
