Structure- A man is woken up by a phone call, once he is awake he begins what has become his typical way of life. He gets up and straight away heads to the kitchen then takes out a can of beer and begins binge drinking. Whilst he is binge drinking he see's all his post at the front door, although grimacing at the fact he has post he reluctantly walks over and picks it up without even reading it properly he becomes angry of getting the same post every day about all his debts and about his house getting repossessed. He then has a flash back of how things used to be when he was working and everything was great in his life, then he has a flash back of the time when things took a turn for the worst and he got into a fight and lost his job. Out of anger in remembrance of a bad time in his past he begins punching the walls knocking things over and he happens to break a picture frame which has a picture of him and his girlfriend. He then calms down as he has a flashback and remembers the good times he had with her only then to be infuriated even more and goes in to the kitchen and takes out a knife ready to slit his wrist. As he has a flashback about the time when he went to dinner with her and was about to propose to her but instead he was dumped and she left him. Still contemplating whether or not to slit his wrist he has another more severe flashback of all past events which got him to his current stated (including the events during the day such as the phone call, opening letters, messing up the house and drinking). The knife then drops on the floor indicating he has either become lifeless or dropped the knife and decided not to kill himself.
Resources
Equipment: for our production of our film we may well be using some if not all of the various equipment listed for example.High definition cameras, camera supports such as a tripod, sound-recording equipment such as head phones and a microphone as well as lighting equipment. all in order to make our film in the way and manner we want, to get the right look for our film.
Facilities: three locations will be used for production. The main location for most of the production will be a house during our production other locations such as a cafe and an office will be used. we will also be using a editing suite for editing and an office for frequent updates on our blog.
Stock: we will be mainly using video tape for recording for example a Mini DV or Digi Beta and VHS. for film 35mm and super 16. for audio stock it will be mini-disc and DAT.
visuals: the mood of our film is rather eerie, depressing and overall not so pleasant it ill look dark with low lighting
sound: we will have non-diagetic back ground music to emphasise the mood of our film and to help create gloomy effect. the sound will be parallel to what is actually going on in our film. also during our film we will have an additional non-daigetic sound effect to state as to when a flashback will happen or rather when a flashback is happening.
Editing: we plan to use various editing techniques like that of fades, jump shots and focus pulls and much more. the style and pace of editing will be relatively slow to help create that depressing, dark and gloomy mood. however it will change and speed up during the times of flashbacks within our film that will help the audience to better get a grasp of the difference from present and flashback by having two different styles of editing within the two different parts to our film, one part of our film is the present and the other is the past.
Camera: during the production of our film we will be using many different camera shots and angles as well as sizes and movements. for instance we will use CU's, MCU's, LS's, two-shots, high and low angle shots, birds eye view shots as well as movements like panning and tracking.
Mise-en-scene
Facial expressions: the facial expressions of our character is mostly that of frowning, sad and angry looking to better create that unpleasant, depression mood.
Body language: the body language of our character will be that of some one who is often drunk and violent as we see him binge drinking and breaking and punching things. throughout most of our film the character will have his head down with haunched shoulders.
Props: for our film wee will be using various props such as a bed mattress, drugs, a sofa, alcoholic drinks such as beer, a fridge, letters, food plates and a glass of wine, desk and stationary as well as a lighter, cigarettes and a mobile phone.
Costumes: we will have various costumes for our character within our film. for instance at times when we are showing him as a depressant binge drinking and taking drugs our character will be wearing simple clothes such as vest and boxers. during his flashback of him working he will be wearing a suit. he will also be wearing casual clothes like that of a shirt and jeans in another flashback when he is at a restaurant/cafe with his girlfriend.
Location: during our film we will use probably a maximum of three locations , one location will be in a house/flat, another location will be in a restaurant/cafe as well as a location of an office or ICT suite.
