Filming Update:

Over the weekend i have progressed further in relation to my production (filming) by recording a few shots that will help me get the editing underway. However a shot that I'm going to have to postpone is that at the prison, as HMP Norwich will require myself to speak to their governor which i shall do tomorrow after they kindly gave me his contact details. I hope to have the permission confirmed midweek with timing planned for next weekend. However i also managed to take some photos of my actors these could be possible images for my ancillary products. I plan to be extremely busy this week with work for media studies.

Photoshop Practice and Poster Ideas:

Due to the fact that i am very knew and inexperienced with photoshop i felt that i could do with practice which could enhance my knowledge to help me with my ancillary products. Shown below is my attempt of making a poster, i chose this image online as it will be another idea that i could recreate by taking the image myself. The reason why i like this shot is that due to football hooligans/casuals being easily recognised by what they wear and like in one of my previous posts i identified that adidas footwear is very iconic for these types of people.

I attained the font for the text from an online website that i plan on using in the near future in order to access great designs to add effect to my poster, the site i used is called dafont.com. Ive chosen yellow and green as my recognisable colours because as i'm basing it on a norwich firm these two colours are easily recognised as part of Norwich City Football Club.

My company name is featured on the poster as after looking at several other film posters its clear that they also use the same technique and style. Finally i chose to 'sharpen' the background as i felt it really brings out the small details of the image, especially in the wall!

Overall i feel this has been very successful and has improved my knowledge using Photoshop and im looking forward to producing my own poster in which the image is that of my own!

Ident Progress:

This is an ident that i and Emily made using Photoshop and FinalCut Pro, Emily was a huge help to this process as her help was needed she has enabled me to produce a satisfying ident. this has enabled me to make a good looking short ident with a few sounds within that i've used from FinalCut Pro to give it a better effect for the 2 second long start to the trailer (ident). I feel this is a good start to the production process and i'm eager to carry on.

Analysing Characters (Son):

By doing these 2 prezi's on prezi.com its allowed me to have a greater understanding and insight to my character and its enabled my character/actor to do so aswell. Although I was not planning on using any of these photos as either my poster image or my magazine front cover image, there may be a possibility that one of the photos taken could be used for such purposes however i am unsure at this minute in time. Overall i am very happy that I've completed one photoshoot of the main character. I liked the affect that the reflcetive jacket gave when exposed to a flash of light however i would like to see what the effect is like during day light

Storyboard (shot by shot) by Harley Golder:

By completing this it has enabled me to become closer to filming and its giving me more of a feel for what will happen in the trailer! I made the storyboard on sticky notes which i then took photos of individually and cropped and then put into pages, to then upload onto slideshare.

Time Management Week 5 (08/12/15):

This week i have been spending the majority of my time constructing/creating a storyboard with shot by shot in order to help with the order of filming i plan to finish both of the tasks highlighted in orange below perhaps even do some filming or even take the photo for my magazine front cover image. If the tasks i mentioned above are completed it will allow me to progress rapidly which i am keen to do. I plan to have my story board uploaded by the end of the week, and the tasks that are mentioned above. There will be an update on my progress on my Time Management Week 6 (15/12/15) post.

Time Management 4 (01/12/15):

Due to having such a set back the last week, it has caused some of the below date targets not to be met as of the events however im trying my hardest to catch up, but this week has been a tough week to organise everything and try to catch up on the recent events however i now feel confident again as i've discussed with my teachers the issues and they've been very helpful!

Exploring Narrative Theories:

Original narrative outline:

Dad has just been released from prison after several years inside, all because of football related violence he hasn't been able to see his son for a long period of time. He is finally released however little did he know that his son is following in his footsteps of becoming a football hooligan. The father wants his son to stop(he then has a flashback to when he was apart of the firm), as he knows the trouble and violence that is involved in the modern game. The father makes him promise to never get involved with the 'wolf pack' (a violent group of hooligans) again. He promises his dad. But when its match day its a different story! The son creeps out and visits his so called 'family' the wolf pack, the same group as what his father used to be 'top boy' at. Particular members of the group never used to like the fathers as he was in charge of everything, so they seek revenge on him and know that the only way to achieve this is to get at his young son. The trailer will end when the young boy is chased into an area where there is no exit. It will then jump to the credits and the film name.

Re-write using narrative theories:

In order to relate with Cameron's episodic or dual narrative i would need to focus on the dad and/or son's viewpoint this will make my audience see the connection between them.

I would like to perhaps include Propp's 7 characters, theoretically i would need 7 actors, however i would plan to use objects rather than actors for some roles. For example:

1. The Hero: The dad would be the hero due to him trying his hardest to get his son on the right track.
2. The Villain: The dad could be this due to the fact that he is trying to prevent his son from being an active member in the firm, although he may be doing the right thing.
3. The Doner: A photo album could do this as it will bring back memories to the father about how his son has changed and how he has been a bad role model.
4. The Helper: This could be someone who the father is text messaging asking for advice etc.
5. The Princess: This could also be a male character, i think it would be the son. As he feels most threatened by his father due to him wanting to stop being a partaker in football violence.
6. The Dispatcher: Could almost be the flash backs that the father will be having about what he used to do when he was his sons age.
7. The False Hero: I feel would not fit in trailer at this stage

Todorov:
Todorov's theory is that there is a template followed by all films etc. This is what he feels is included in each film:

1. The narrative starts in a state of equilibrium: stable, balanced unchanging system, this applies to my trailer due to the fact that I plan to have my two characters apart at the beginning, due to the father coming out of prison and the son leaving the house for football. 
2. An action or character disrupts the equilibrium, for instance as the father has just come out of prison, he will now find out that his son is following in his footsteps, resulting in the father wanting to change his sons routine.
3. Following recognition of the disruption, a quest is set in order to restore equilibrium. This is much the case in my trailer, as the father will receive a text message or will be notified that his son, is following in his shoes.
4. The narrative moves to confrontation/climax: there is an attempt to repair the disruption, likewise in my trailer whereby the father makes his son promise he will stop going to cause trouble at football. 
5. Resolution/equilibrium is restored and reinstated. This mildly applies to my trailer however the resolution will be the son being chased by members of the firm however the ending is not revealed meaning it will end of a cliffhanger.

Possible Locations:

Here are some possible location ideas that i will or i am debating as to whether i will use the shots or not. However there will be more locations but i have not decided as to where at this point in time! 

HMP Norwich:

I feel this would be a good area to film the father leaving the prison... this picture below may be an ideal area to record from, as it will show the tall walls and maybe even the barbed wire on the walls. This location will make the shot feel more realistic and extreme.

Carrow Road:

Due to being a Norwich City Football Club season ticket holder, i go to every home match played at the stadium. As I'm doing a crime drama football trailer i feel to have some recording from inside the ground on a match day would be very valuable and effective.

Public House (Pub) in Norwich:

Most if not all crime drama football trailers have a scene at the pub, this can be seen as a place where firms hang out before the match... also its a very hostile environment for different types of people. Its definitely a place to avoid before the match! although it may be hard to record in a pub discreetly, i am willing to try though. As i feel it'll give good effect to the trailer!

Analysing Characters (Father): (UNFINISHED)

Time Management Week 3 (24/11/15):

As explained in my recent events post, i have had a change of plan. Here is my week 3 time management chart:
Due to the recent events it has caused me to basically start all over again as everything is now invalid and not appropriate, however i am not going to let this get in the way of my goal/ambition of being successful this year, but this is definitely a set back! On the other hand it has taught me to choose a more reliable cast which i am now looking for/thinking of.

Time Management Week 2 (17/11/15):

This week has been successful I feel due to the fact that I've got two rough ideas for my a plot/story line which took me a lot of time to think of. Another reason is that i am starting tasks earlier than i planned which is good as that means that i am not falling behind other members in my class. The reason that 05/12/15 is in progress is that i'm trying to give my actors as much notice as possible in order to be available for me to film. By next week i plan to have everything up to the 24/11/15 highlighted green in order for it to be a successful week! I will be making one of these 'Time Management' posts every Tuesday with the next one being on the 24/11/15.

Storyline ideas:

My ideas consist of the following:

1. Dad has just been released from prison after several years inside, all because of football related violence he hasn't been able to see his son for a long period of time. He is finally released however little did he know that his son is following in his footsteps of becoming a football hooligan. The father wants his son to stop(he then has a flashback to when he was apart of the firm), as he knows the trouble and violence that is involved in the modern game. The father makes him promise to never get involved with the 'wolf pack' (a violent group of hooligans) again. He promises his dad. But when its match day its a different story! The son creeps out and visits his so called 'family' the wolf pack, the same group as what his father used to be 'top boy' at. Particular members of the group never used to like the fathers as he was in charge of everything, so they seek revenge on him and know that the only way to achieve this is to get at his young son. The trailer will end when the young boy is chased into an area where there is no exit. It will then jump to the credits and the film name.

Trailer plot:

• Dad leaving the prison after several years inside, indicate with titles 
• also show the son leaving the house for football, to show the audience the connection.
• series of flashback timeline shots dad and son .... ? flicking through photo album
• cut with symbolic aggression shots

1.  
2. 
   

• use GoPro for chase scene
