DISTRIBUTION: INSTAGRAM


I have decided to create an Instagram account for our movie opening in order to attract and address audiences. Instagram is used by millions of people each day therefore our movie could get a good publication as most people who use Instagram at the age of our target audience. To create this Instagram account I had to make an email that we, as production, can use focusthemovieHOTMAIL.com

PLANNING: INTERVIEW

My media group and I have decided to do a Psychiatry examination interview on the main character of the movie Sam. We all thought that sometime into the near future he would end up being arrested or examined by a specialist to see what is wrong with him as his aggression and controlling emotions get the best of him. We have decided to film this psychiatry examination and plan questions and answers as a script to develop our character. We got this idea from FilmEscape. I read the article by Charlie Sierra on how to get to Know your Character by giving them a questionnaire. They have collected questions about the physical, family, relationships, personalities and flaws aspect fro the character interrogation  Further more I have personally researched into the way Psychiatrist ask questions and also provided props from our filming. 

A psychiatrist would usually: 


  • assess a person's state of mind
  • use the “biopsychosocial” model of understanding. This emphasises the importance of a person's past experiences, family, culture, surroundings and work as well as any medical features.
  • diagnose a mental illness
  • use a range of psychological treatments
  • use a range of medications
  • help a person recover.

We have written rough questions to ask Sam:

Do you think that this picture is demeaning towards women?
Do you think that it is acceptable to control and boss women around? Why?
Who has inspired you to become a photographer?
Do you think that your success has been based on your attitude towards women?
Does the work of David Bailey inspire you?
How do you think this has effected your attitude towards your loved ones?

PLANNING: PHOTOSHOOT SCENE

I have looked at videos on youtube to help me organise the photoshoot scene for our movie opening. These videos talk about the way the models act and the way the photographers act towards the models. Photographers are well known to be controlling and demanding of the models as the video confirms. I personally think that the pose shown bellow will be amazing in our film and will ask the model (Florence or Amy) to re-create it. The second screenshot on the right is from the same youtube video and shows how the photographer David Bailey tells the model what to do and how he wants to sell sex. 

I think that we should also include an extreme close up of the hands of the photographer/psychopath  Sam like shown below in the screenshot of the Nowcast video as well as over the shoulder shot.

































I took a book out of the school library called Story Teller by Tim Walker, a very famous photographer who photographs women in a very provocative way. We also used this as a prop in our Interrogation Interview to suggest him as an influence on out character 'Sam

PLANNING: SHOT LIST - GOOGLE DOCS

Two members of our group, Alex and James worked together to create a shot list on google docs. They used Google docs because it is a very easy way for all of us to access this information and also change it if any changes are needed. Google docs presents everything in a very easy and clear way and nothing looks cluttered.
