the beginning theme tune. official soundtrack of the film ''ADRENALINE''

Scene opens In a council estate with Chronic and Moneyz beating up another youth with a baseball bat.  Chronic is wearing a light grey nike tracksuit, whilst Moneyz is wearing a dark grey nike tracksuit.   All that can be heard is the grunting from the boys and the shouting for help from the boy being beaten up.  Suddenly a large group of boys appear from round the corner.  Moneyz and chronic stop and stare at them with a worried look.  The large gang start to chase chronic and moneyz.  Loud grime music starts. 

 

They are chased for around a minute, whilst the producer, development company and the actors are introduced.   

In this introduction , we will be introduced to the characters Moneyz and Chronic first.  This will be whilst they are being chased.  Then we will be introduced to j-STAR and shaniqua whilst they are smoking a joint in there car

 

After the chase, jake will get out of his car with a gun and threaten to shoot the gang. 

There will then be some dialogue at the end of the scene for a short amount of time.  

22nd jan. presentation

in todays lesson we performed our presentation. i felt it went very well. we all managed to perform are lines well, and clearly.
the slideshow its self looked very neat, tidy and profesional.
also, when the class asked the group questions, we managed to answer them well. in comparison to the other groups presentations, i feel we did very well, and it was one of the better planned ones.

LOCATION, MUSIC AND COSTUME

¨The film is based in South London, but the filming from us will take place in Redhill because it is easy for us to get to and meet up there.  We will have to call the local police during the filming day due to the fact we will be in a public area with potential weapons whilst filming.

¨The music we will use is unsigned grime acts.  This is very similar to films like bullet boy and kidulthood who used lots of grime acts to boost there artists reputations. 

¨The costumes we will wear are very simple.  We will wear tracksuits that represent youths in london and other accessories(ie- balaclavas, and chains etc)

¨The props used will be baseball bats, cars,  guns and etc   

PRODUCTION AND BUDGET

We have taken a long time in planning the production stages to ensure we get it right first time because we don’t have great deal of time.

  We have been put into our specific groups to work in, so our first task was to decide who would play each role in the planning and making of our short film introduction. We decided to have Josh as the produces, Jake as the director, Max as the casting director and beth as a primary character.  All of us will appear in the film and our characters will be introduced.

development

¨Our main idea for this film was to produce a gritty and realistic UK crime drama based in the South of London that will appeal to an audience aged between 15 up to any age who are intrigued to get an insight into the life of the youth today.

¨We are aiming to produce this with a budget of £10, this will include our transport costs and we will be borrowing equipment and editing software from our college. We will be able to market this film with the budget allocated as we will be relying on word of mouth and minor hand made posters and/or websites including facebook groups and myspace pages.

¨Our film will be classified into the genre of Crime Documentary similar to other successful films of this type such as Kidulthood, Adulthood, Rolling with the Nines, Bullet boy or even Tv dramas such as West 10 LDN.

tonights group homework

for our groups homework , we each have to find out the budget for a film similar to one we are making, so that we can see the realistic aim. we also have to make sure that we have the right clothes for when we start filmimg.
this is a tracksuit or something like that.

Tuesday 20th January

In todays lesson we put together our budget plan. Every film needs careful planning when it comes to managing finnces, expesically independant films with a small budget. Max used the resources provided but John to srite up our final budget plan.

The numbers we used where exagerated to make the budget look more realistic, we will also complete the task by writing up a budget with our actual figure but at the present there is not enough funding to work out how much to spend on each aspect of the film and planning.

The next step is to start casting actors and drawing up the blue prints for the production process.

18th january 2009

this lesson we are going to construct a presentation that we have to pitch to the class about our movie.
we need to cover our development ideas, are target audience, the budget, marketing and genre.

we also need to talk about the stages of production including cast, crew, locations, music, costumes, props.. etc.
in the presentation we also need to cover the distribution and how we would advertise the film. this includes the release strategy(cinema,dvd,tv,etc), press and publicity and festivals etc.

15th January analysis

We as a group have decided to take our original idea as our final project idea. We could not find any significant problems to prevent us from following the original plan. Although we have changed the location from Carshalton to Redhill because we would find it very hard to get the amount of people we would need participate as extras in some of the scenes where as if we film in Redhill we could get plenty of friends and family to help us out. Due to the nature of our film we will have to speak to the local police to ensure they know we pose no threat to the public when we are using props like baseball bats, balaclavas and knifes etc.

the 2009 UK crime thriller introduces new young and up coming actors such as Josh Hyatt (chronic) , Jake Pennell j- star), Max SJoblom (moneyz) and Beth Forster Coleman (shaniqua). we follow them on a journey trying to rise through the Uk crime scene throughout London. we see how chronic and moneyz get trapped into a world of hard drugs and violence, and the struggle of j-star and Shaniqua trying to deal with her teen pregancy. when chronic and moneyz fall into a police trap, chronic cannot deal with the death of his childhood crime partner, moneyz. j-star struggles with the pressure of fatherhood and things start to fall apart within the group. we see how they start to plot against each other, just in order to save themselves.

Planning and Research

Josh Hyatt. Max Sjoblom, Beth Forster Coleman, Jake Pennell


Our main idea for our film clip is an opening sequence shot as a montage with a collection of different crimes being acted out and still images of drugs, graffiti, street robbery, weapons and london also of the environment our show is set in, South London. After a short montage we will introduce each charactor as a specialist in a specific crime or type of crime e.g violence, drugs, graffiti, robbery etc... We will film a majority of our sequence in carshalton and redhill. Also in our montage we plan to use mobile film videos in the sequence to add realism to the levels of crime and the events occuring.
We plan to use different colour hues in our shots to set a mood also a wide variation of background music such as grime or drum and bass that will suit the shots. We will take inspiration from music videos that introduce grime artists such as choong family and take 2 win. Also drawing inspiration from films such as lock stock and two smoking barrels and snatch.

Take 2 Win - Stop It (Filmed in Carshalton)
