Recourse and Costume

Resources
Our main recourse will be a location. We decided that my dads house would be best because we had permission to film there and it was a good, open location to film at. It has all the things we need like a drive, empty (ish) house and the location just seems perfect. The lighting was good because the street  lamps outside were just outside and lit the street.

COSTUMES
The burglars will need to be in black hooded clothes. The woman would be be in smart, work clothes.
PROPS
- The CD (blank disk) will be needed.
- Also we will need fake blood.
- Weapon.
- Torches.
- Phone
- Keys
- Landrover (driven by Liams dad so it's lagal and safe, it's for the get-a-way scene)
- We will need a camera and we will all be acting. Taking turns between filming and acting.


*COSTUME CHANGE*
The woman's clothes have changed to 'gym wear' because the work clothes were not available at the time we were filming. It also turned out to be a much better idea because it emphasized the woman's character as being tough. Also there was a gym right around the corner from the location, so that was handy.


This was discussed as a group.

K-19 The Widowmaker Film Analyses

      The credits at the start roll in, it’s Paramount, they are a well-recognisedcompany and the audience will know it’s a high budget. The next companies are intermediateand National Geographic. Throughout these credits there is no music. This addsa certain ‘unknown’ element to the beginning. The first shot is of credits,they are in red writing and they fade as they go on to the next one. There’sslow music to introduce and open the film. Eventually, the name of the filmcomes up and dominates the screen it is the main focus point for the audience tosee. The next clip is writing. It comes up saying “Inspired by actual events”this fades out and more writing comes up saying “For twenty-eight years thisstory could not be told”. The slow music continues as the picture behind slowlyfades in and you can see that the camera is under water. This already sets thescene a bit because you can tell that the setting is not on land, but at sea. Thewriting gives the audience prior knowledge before watching the film. It isimportant that this is at the start because it will make the film easier tounderstand. The writing continues and some dates appear at thetop. This tells the audience what time period this is set in. it could helpwhen trying to understand the film when watching more that the first fewminutes. I’ve realised that having writing at the start is a good conventionthat is used because it gives the audience prior knowledge to the film. Thevery last bit of writing reads “And who will strike first” –this leaves theaudience on a rhetorical question which creates suspense and leaves them on acliff hanger. It gives the impression that there is a battle/war to come.

Thewriting stops and the first shot is of a man flipping a switch out of manyother switches. There is dialogue straight away. Having dialogue at the start is a convention that is used to introduce the audience the film straight away.
