Rough Cut 1
Jason - 'I liked the atmosphere in the pub scene as it reflects what we would probably do on a Friday night , so we could relate to it'.
Characters in our film
Characters in our film
When we were thinking of a story
line, we decided that we liked the idea of the movie run fat boy run therefore
when we were planning our film we decided to take notes on the stuff we liked
from that film and decided that we were going to use that in our film. For example
we liked the idea of this fat bloke who couldn’t run and wanted to lose weight
therefore we developed this idea into a fat bloke who constantly gets bullied
by his friends and therefore he wanted to do something about it.
Moreover, we decided that we were
going to have one main character and two friends who used to take the mick out
of him but not to the extent that he no longer wanted to be their friend. But however
made him want to do something about his weight and that is where we came up
with the idea that he was going to be this fat man in a pub to a man who
motivated himself to lose weight and had always wanted to be a footballer and
really wanted to score the winning goal. The whole opening and characters
derived from the film listed above.
The main character we had in mind
was the person who is sipping his pint and the two people next to him were
supposed to be his friends. The fat man however will not look as old as the
person shown in the image. He will be a fat man who will motivate himself in
order for him to live a healthier lifestyle.
The two friends are going to look
like the two featured in the image to the left. The image is taken from the
famous TV series Only Fools and Horses. The two characters are going to be a
bit slow/dumb as we believe this will be humorous for the audience.
What we need to consider when developing our film
What we need to consider when developing our film
When developing our film we need to consider the audience beforehand.
For example, due to the fact it is a comedy we need the audience to be laughing
at certain things within the film. For example in the scene where we are going
to have our main character struggling to run we are going to make it look like
the actor is dying as this will make the audience laugh, also because it is a
dark comedy the audience should laugh when they really shouldn’t be, for example
the statement above. Also we need to consider the use of lighting, camera, and
costume.
The type of camera angles/shots you see in a comedy;
·
The camera is very natural and follows the
characters.
·
Usually high shots are used in a comedy
to capture the whole event that is happening in that scene.
·
Medium shots are used in a comedy to catch all
of the characters expressions within the shot.
The use of lighting is important within a comedy as you do
not want a dark atmosphere as this means that it will be showing generic
conventions of a horror. Therefore within a comedy, you want to see light,
spacious areas to film as this is what you typically see in a comedy. Also we
need to consider whether the lighting is appropriate for the audience to see it
visibly. For example;
Costume is also another thing that we need to consider
when developing our film as we do not want to use the completely wrong costumes
as the audience will get confused as to what genre it is. Therefore in order
for the audience to understand the genre we are going to have our actors
wearing not really bright colours but a variety of different ones however our
main character will be wearing black as this shows that he is the one for the audience
to focus on.
Organising sound

Diegetic – WITHIN THE CLIP
When diegetic sound is concerned, we have decided to use it
throughout in the form of narrative, for example at the start our character is
going to order his food from the bar and say “Hi can I have some steak and
chips please and can you throw in some peanuts with that…”, we decided to use
this piece of dialogue as it starts the film off and shows the audience that we
are located in a pub. Also, during the pub scene we have decided to use other
pieces of dialogue, we are going to make the background noise so that it can
faintly be heard by the audience. The background noise will consist of people talking,
we have decided to use this as we believe it will be realistic whereas if we
did not use it then it would not be realistic as stereotypically in a pub you
can hear other people talking.
Non – Diegetic - OUTSIDE
The first piece of non – diegetic sound we hear is at the
start when we have our production company logo appear, we have the sound of a
walrus playing over the top of it, in sync with what is going on within the
clip. We have used this as we believe it is effective and adds a sense of
energy to the piece. Moreover, the next piece of non-diegetic sound we hear is
from the part where our main actor has just been knocked out due to him running
into the tree, in this piece we decided to play a piece of sound that will make
the audience understand that he has just been knocked out.
