Music Juxtaposition

By watching clips from

Car Crash Scene

This is a fantastically emotional scene I have found from an old Eastenders that directly correlates to the direction we wish to go in with our film. Not only is there a car crash, we have someone greiving and also have make up used  to create upset and emotion. I think this clip will stem a great amount of inspiration for us.

Car Crash Scene

I watched this scene on Tv and was amazed by how realistic it looked, I truly felt like I was witnessing a car crash. Here Hollyoaks allow us to go behind the scenes and watch how it was shot. I have developed a further understanding of techniques and equipment used to film such an impactful shot. Due to being such a low budget film we can not purchase this kind of equipment however can take inspiration from the actors performance and damage made to the car

Timetable and Filming Schedule

In order to create are trailer organisation is vital in order to get the whole group,cast and equipment in the same place at the same time. We are excited to announce our first filming session has been arranged and we are eager to get going with this project. We have all the directors present and both actors we have selected, which will be show in following posts and properly introduced, we will also highlight how we chose them and our audition process.

Todorov's Narrative Theorey

Today Chrome Pictures looked into story narratives ,the general structure of them and how they may differ. We researched into Todorov's Theory and how we can apply it to our trailer. We watched "Fight Club" and applied the theory to it , we can now do this to our own film.

Social Realism

Social Realism is a film genre which shows the audience what true life and real situations are like. Famous film makers in this genre include Ken Loach, Shane Meadows and Mike Leigh.

After researching and mood boarding other genres we realised that social realism provided us with the most ideas and really ignited out imagination.

Our following PowToon explains in depth what this genre is and why we chose it

Teaser Vs Theatrical

We have come to the conclusion that we would like to make  a theatrical trailer. With us having a very simplistic narrative all centring round one event we felt it was essential to disclose this in the trailer for our audience to understand what the film was and the genre.

In our Prezi above we have compared the differences of the two in order to fully understand both in depth and make an educated decision.

Costume and Make up

We wanted the siblings clothing to be simplistic and unremarkable. This not only represents their characters but also allows the clothes not to detract from facial expression or be too colourful therefore steal the shot.

Emma will have make up on which will be quite natural juxtaposed to a heavier eye make up. This will allow us to create tear marks and smudge it after the crash. This contrast will hopefully scare the audience and also make the crash feel more realistic.

Jack will not be wearing any make up however after the crash we will put fake blood dripping from his ear and on his clothing which will be prominent on his light coloured clothing. We will also use a light powder on his face to make him look pale and therefore dead.

Potential Sound

From the offset all of us from Chrome Pictures had the image of our film trailer having a soundtrack with a heavy base played over it. This correlates with the popular music in youth culture today and also will heighten the audience fear and anticipation due to its increasing tempo and repetitive beat. We are using the song above as inspiration for when we create are own tune. We are also experimenting currently on the idea of haven certain moments of tension when we will overlap a string orchestra with the soundtrack to create climax's.

We also looked at the other songs including the following link. We chose to rule them about because if we chose to have any dialogue we feel the beat and background noises will make it hard to hear and also  detract from the narrative.
