Plan for a new week.

Pre Production

Before filming I need to:

• get all my actors organised. This hopefully won't be too hard but it could become an issue.
• complete a storyboard.
• organise equipment times.

Post Production

After filming I need to:

• edit the footage.
• upload it onto the macs.

Distribution

How i will make my film available to an audience:

• post it on youtube.
• finish movie poster.
• start/complete magazine page.

Collective Identity.

A collective identity is a group of entities that share or are motivated by at least on common interest. 'Identity is who you are, how you see yourself, how others se you, appearance, attributes, experiences, clothing, rituals.'

area's that make up ones collective identity are:
-Gender
-Ethnicity
-Religion
-Nationality
-Age
-Sexuality
-Social class
-Disability
-Celebrity
-Family
-Education

They all influence who you are and your collective identity.

David Buckingham (2008)
describes identity as something that distinguishes us from other people. however it also implies a relationship with boarder collective identities or social group, people with the same interests for example will be similar because of this shared interest however their other interests and beliefs will make them individuals.
This contratdiction makes identity complicated to define.

Clip Analysis

In this clip Quentine Tarintino uses the exact effect i wish to use in my short film. He uses the undiegetic sound of Enrico Morricones music from the good the bad and the ugly to create an effect of increasing tension before an inevitable fight scene.

Plan for this week.

My plan for this week is to complete a more specific story bopard so i can start to do some filming. I will need to take and decide on the most suitable locations. I should also be starting to think more about the magazine page that i haven't yet covered in my blog.

Post modern media

Post modern media is the idea that the media reality is now the new reality. As we no long can distinguish between the things that are real and images of things that are real and real experiences and simulation of them. Represenations are re interpreted and changed through pastiche, by paying homeage to another media text, parodys and intertexual references. Some directors don't try and hide the fact the media text is constructed, deliberately exposing the text as constructed to tell the audience that the piece is not real and it never pretends to be real at any point. Quintine Tarintino does this in his film 'Kill Bill' were the exaggerated blood spraying and body dismemberment shows the audience this is not real. Some of the camera shots also reveal the location as a film set for example a over head shot of two of the characters in seperate rooms with the camera positioned over the conjoining wall. 4:27-8:02

Target Audience

The demographic i will be targeting will be the young working class male. In terms of social standing they are quite low down and have generally low incomes. Their social catergory is C2-E, as they can be either a skilled manual worker after having done an appreticeship or learned a trade through college or a family member(C2), they can also be a semi skilled or non skilled manual worker after entering a job after school(D), and finally they can be just casual workers or unemployed by either still being at school or just having a part time job(E).

This Niche market will like my short film as the going out with the intension to get out of control and overflowing violence will be what they look for in entertainment. They will be able to relate to the characters and will understand the dark humour of the hero being being over confident and getting retribution for his actions.

Movie Poster

This movie poster is typical of a normal movie poster. It has the main character/characters in the for ground and has the setting of the film in the background for example the urban setting of london in the green street film. It incorporate the ideology of the film of 'stand your ground and fight', by having it spray pained on a wall behind the characters. Having the rest of the gang in the mid ground it connotes their importance to the story aswell and the fact they are in this all together. The word 'hooligan' in the title of the shows the nature of the film to the audience allowing them to make a decision if they want to watch it. This word connotes violence and fighting that might be appealing to their target audience of thrill seeking young male adults.
