What company might release our film



I've done some research on production companies and was successful and found a company which is called BFI (British Film Industry). The reason I've chosen this company is because of the movie Kidulthood the movie is produced by the BFI and as our movie is quite similar to Kidulthood I knew that this descision was not bad and could be interesting to the producation company.

My role on the opening sequence (Redemption)

Jay is a brutal thug from Germany who moved over to the UK a few years ago. He was living in a council estate with his parents. His mother was a drug addict and his father an alcoholic, Jay's mother died a few years later as result of taking huge doses of drugs. Jay was so depressed that he started to bunk school and taking drugs. With the age of 16 he left his father because he was really violent and not fit to be a father and started to live in a hostel and hanging around with wrong friends. Through the years he gained respect by others and he is a member of a gang of violent youths. Most of the guys are German and the gang is still growing and is getting popular for youngsters. The gangs signs are black bandanas and black clothes.

Things learned from the preliminary task

I have learned lots of things from the preliminary task such as keeping the actors in the frame while shooting a movie and also be organised and prepared for anything. I also started to realize that the planning is one of the main keypoints to make a movie. For the preliminary task we used the programme iMovie and after a few tries I got very confident with it and cutted the movie as smooth as I possibly could.

Preliminary Task 'Feed the fish'

Our team did a quite a good job in this task which we are proud of. It has lots of different shots and also a fade in it. The fade is used to create a flashback which all student in the class recognised. We used continuity editing which was a bit inaccurate at the beginning but we edited it more to make it more smooth.and at the end you could see the smoothness and continuity of the sequence. Our team looked at some student examples on the media drive of the school to get some inspiration which helped us a lot. We planned our sequence with storyboards and discussions as well. The only thing we had to improve were the shots because we zoomed to much out and you were able to see too much background.
