There has been another change of plan. It is the same when it comes to describing the characters. Instead of the grabbing everything they can, they are looking for something specific. The audience do not get to find out what they are looking for. There is now no scene of them selling goods on a road.
There has been a change of plan. Claudia and I have now changed the genre of our film to comedy, crime, drama. The films that influence us the most are Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Trainspotting.

Our new idea is of two jokers robbing an empty house. Grabbing anything they can find. making jokes along the way. The two characters are complete opposites. One has no intelligence, the other is clever. They are putting all of the stolen objects into a broken, ripped rucksack. Once they have finished grabbing what they can the shot cuts straight into the in the street with a table in front of them. The table is covered with all of the stolen objects seen in the previous scene. There is no one looking to buy off them. While they are desperately trying to find buyers. There will be close up shot of he stolen objects While in the house and on the table.
The genre of our 2 Minute film is British gangster drama. The films that influence us are This is England, Scarface and Green Street.

I have a few ideas on what to film for my 2 minute film. I am hoping to film a 'hoodie' or skinhead giving his 'girl' a kiss and telling her he will 'see her later'. Then there is a close up of him clenching his fist. He climbs over a fence, walks into a house and starts looking for valuables to steal. At this point the camera gives off the affect that there is a victim in the house hiding from him while at the same time following him. He then comes accross somebody in the house and with a instant reaction screams 'oi! give me all your money now!' Then next thing you hear are police sirens. That is where it ends and that is how i would like my 2 mintue film to turn out like. I am also hoping to use music and sound effects.
I am hoping to film the footage within the next few weeks to get it out of the way. Then edit it at a later date.
I will be updating my blog and most importantly this post.

Snatch - Storyboard
This storyboard is for the movie Snatch. The genre of this movie is comedy, crime and thriller. The font of the credits used in Snatch are very bold and stand out to the audience. It shows that the movie is going to be bold and full of action. There is a use of narrative speech in the first 2 minutes. This is to let the audience know what some of the characters are like at the very beginning. The use of these two features makes the audience hooked on the first 2 minutes of the movie.
Vantage Point - Storyboard
This is the storyboard for Vantage Point. The genre of the movie is action, crime, drama and thriller. The font of the credits used in Vantage Point are very bold and stand out. It shows that the movie is going to be bold and full of action. The music used in the background of first 2 minutes of Vantage Point is extremely mysterious and sounds like there is going to be a twist in the movie. The use of these two features makes the audience hooked on the first 2 minutes of the movie.
This is England - Storyboard
The storyboard above is for This is England. The genre of the movie is Drama. The music stays the same throughout the first 2 minutes of the the movie. It is playing in the background of the movie. The font of the credits looks like the letters have been destroyed. The credits are not shown in every shot. This storyboard makes the audience hooked because in the first 2 minutes of the movie it shows audiences what the movie is about.

Different Camera Movement and Camera Views
Key for shot sizes:
XLS- Extra Long Shot
MCU- Medium Close Up
LS- Long Shot
CU- Close up
MLS- Medium Long Shot
BCU- Basic Close up
MS- Medium Shot
XCU- Extra Close Up
These different shots, angles and movements are extremely important becasue they are the basic movements that should be used in most of the pieces we record. All of the shots that we see here should be used in our pieces too.
My Titles Using Imovie
I used iMovie to produce my titles. It was very easy to do as I choose the music from iMove sound effect. I chose a new project, went to the titles browser, chose vertical drift, four corners and side ways drift. then changed the sizes and fonts. then used the imovie sound effects over the top.
