The title of my film is called "From the deep within".I chose this title because the concept of my film is not your normal stereotypical film; the title is a constrast to the character "Obinna" .The character is an Afrcian doll finding herself in a foregin country also realising she is human again.As the film is not a normal concept however it is creative. The genre of my film is "Fantasy" due to the story been about magic and supernatural powers the based God oracle turning the character Obinaa into human. I did not use a lot of props because i did not want to lose focus on the concept of the film and the props i used was a teddy bear.
The clothes the character wore was made to fit into the concept; the character in the beginning was dressed in a pink and white top and blue denim short this was to show the viewers that the doll is girly and in the second scene the character is shown to be wearing a orange top with a scarf to suggest she has now adapted to the weather of the country she is in and this is when the character is shown speaking to her based god.
The first music played in the background is soothing yet builds tension fading out to the first shot with an medium shot of the main character obinna then a close up with the camera zooming out showing the character waking up and realising she is human again and she completly baffled on what to do and her only solution is going back to sleep.
It flash-crosses in to the second shot of the animals surrounded with a fence this illustrates the main character obinna trapped in another country and she feels alienated but she seems to make a connection with the animals.However the last shot music is a little bit up tempo and mysterious aswell this is a contrast to what's taking place in the scene; the camera angle used is a long shot shot then zooming in to the teddy bear were Obinna left it next to her based God.The camera then cross cuts into the character waking up realising it was all a dream.
Making this film helps me explore my creative quriky ideas. It also allows me as the director to protray a concept that could relate to other teenagers who feel alienated when they visit another country they're not use to. Through my character obinna i was able to portray that she wasnt hapy with the situation she was in we see her attempting to fit in by her sense of dressing but when she was speaking to her based God the oracle she spoke in her native tongue. This could reflect on any foreign teenager or adult who finds it hard to adapt to a new habibitat. An example of a popular movie that shows us an insight on how to adapt into a new place is the movie Avatar were we see Sam Worthington who plays Jake Sully trying to adapt with the people of Pandora .
The media institution that would be be best to distribute my product to his BBC and Channel 4 because my bbfc rating is 12A and BBC and channel 4 tend to produce shows targeted to that specific auidence. This will enable the viewers to watch it online via 4OD,BBCIPLAYER and Youtube if permitted. I chose those media institution because it give independent production company alot of oppunturnities and they have a wide range fan base so the views will be high in number. My BBFC rating is 12 A because i think younger teens and above can relate to feeling alienated in places they have never been before.
Throught survery monkey i was able to put out questionairs and surveys for my auidence to tell me what genre they're most likey to watch. The information gathered was useful;most of the people who answered the survery prefred Romance and Comedy.However i decided to go with fantasy i did not feel like doing the normal stereotypical opening sequence. I done an analysis on the movie "UP" the opening sequence was able to capture both characters through the happy times and the sad times by cross cutting which made me explore through different transition you can use when editing a film.
The feedback i got for this opening sequence wasnt that much as i kept on changing my ideas.However the little feedback i got from friends are its "weird" and imaginative. Promoting a film is the hardest part when th product is ready i would promote it through social network i.e facebook,twitter,tumblr,blogspot and so on and to add to that i will also create a trailer to generate a buzz around the film to get the auidence excited about the release of the film.
The equipments used was really basic to make sure i would get everything right. I have learnt that technology plays a big part in the world in terms the way things can be captured and be viewed to a global auidence. The equipment used was a fuji film s4500 and the software used to edit the film was the final cut pro on Mac . As this is my second time producing and editing a film i think i have progressed from the preliminary task i done. I am now able to take the right shot at the right angle.Learnt the basics of fading the music in and out and making the shots go well with the rest of the shots
Sarah will play the character of Obinna
