DECONSTRUCTION OF 'PRIORITIES' REVIEW

FINAL OF 'PRIORITIES' REVIEW

RESEARCH INTO THE LAYOUT OF FILM REVIEWS

The layout of film reviews consist of images, text and quotes from the film, much like these ones. I focused on using key elements as I knew that when looking at these film reviews they are what stood out to me. Using an image is important as it has to capture a non motion picture which portrays the story, and helps the audience to understand the feel of the film. Whilst researching in these film reviews, I was able to create my own.

FIRST DRAFT OF 'PRIORITIES' REVIEW

‘Priorities’ isn’t necessarily based on a true story; it devotes itself to society today and doesn’t hide away from the truth that all teenagers face. ‘Priorities’ shows the stories that all parents dread when they leave the home left with their young careless teenager. It peaks into the life of teenagers and the effects you’re friends have on you which constantly fires the consequences and truths at its audience. It portrays the scariest truths about trying to impress ‘friends’ who don’t really care and shows the heart pounding guilt and punishment of the young child who makes these mistakes.

While the hangover and Due Date are both set out to entertain the audience, Priorities is recognised for its use of realism. Producers Amber Fallon-O’Sullivan, Katie Dowling and Miriam Husain deliver an emotionally honest portrait of reality today. A piercing glimpse into the unspeakable truths of the youths in society and what kicks they get just to have fun.  Ironically, for a film fuelled by unbroken trust and mistakes that are made, she exhibits a great deal of innocence.  Amber Fallon - O'Sullivan shines a new light on short films and breaks down the barrier of keeping short films at short film festivals as this film deserves to be on the big screen and the back of buses in central London. An outstanding performance from Amy (Rojin Kazemi), a Character who invites us into her life, showing us an insight to the typical teenage issues, whilst uncovering the social pressure and effect it has on a Family bond.

This film is both compelling and captivating and portrays a message to not only teenagers, but everyone. It allows us to ask the questions: Do I fit on? Do I have someone to talk to? Amy is a young much like a lot of people were or are, interested in school at bullied/hated for it. An array of jealous people arrives at her party she throws in order to become known. Instead she is beaten back down to where she’s always been, however this time with a shelf full of consequences and punishments.

‘Don’t worry, we’ll put it on private’ are the words Amy’s mate tell her before the party and are the words Amy wishes she never heard. ‘Priorities’ teaches its audience the worse and the worst things you could do portray your parents and with its amazing cast of actors and reaction it’s received, the Producers – Amber Fallon-O’Sullivan, Mriam Hussain and Katie Dowling efforts have paid off and all have something to be proud of.

(With my first draft of review, and having done my research into film reviews, the layout is now something I need to focus on)

RESEARCH INTO FILM REVIEWS

Whilst researching into film reviews, I learnt the basic codes and conventions of them - what they feature/include.

Codes + Conventions of a film review:

-Film name, year of release, genre and credits (producer, director, actors etc..)

-Quotes/reference

-Brief summary of film

-Summarise review with ratings

-Personal view of film - what they like/what they didn't

-Characters comments

This is a film review I deconstructed:

Review

Director Todd Phillips scored his biggest hit with 2003’s ribald, R-rated romp Old School, a film that proved beyond question — as if we didn’t know it already — that the spectacle of grown men communing with their inner adolescent and behaving like frat boys is a recipe for comedy gold. 

Phillips treads broadly similar ground with The Hangover (written by Lucas and Moore of Four Christmases ‘fame’) but, ironically for a movie that celebrates the male of the species’ innate ability to screw things up and act like a complete idiot, he exhibits a great deal more maturity than he did with its likable but hit-and-miss forebear.

Tell the reader some if it's success and gives an extremely brief outline of the film whilst giving hints about what the film may entail. Referring to characters as 'Male species' may imply that they act foolishly like animals in the duration of this film. 

On the face of it, The Hangover doesn’t look particularly promising, nor, to be honest, terribly original. The ‘bachelor party gone wrong’ is a well-established comedy sub-genre and the prospect of yet another bunch of shit-faced yuppies getting into scrapes with hookers is hardly one to savour. Mercifully, and very astutely, The Hangover avoids the clichés — the majority of them, at least — by starting where most movies of this ilk finish: in the aftermath of the ruinous carousing rather than the preamble to it. In fact, sparing us the gratuitous party scenes is not just good sense but an intrinsic element of the narrative since, thanks to a self-administered mickey that turns out to be roofies rather than E, the central characters have no more idea of what went on the night before than we do.

Following a brief establishing set-up, the action kicks off when a trio of groomsmen (Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis) wake up in the apocalyptic wreckage of their Las Vegas hotel suite to discover an abandoned baby in the closet, Mike Tyson’s tiger in the bathroom and the inexplicable absence of the groom himself (Justin Bartha), who is due to get hitched in 24 hours’ time. From that point on the film becomes a twisted, and unerringly hilarious, detective story as the hapless ‘worst men’, their memories wiped clean by date-rape drugs, have to piece together the events of the previous evening, track down their missing buddy and get him to the church on time. The trouble is, they have very little evidence to go on save for a missing front tooth, a collection of hospital wristbands and a wedding ring on very much the wrong finger.

Goes into more detail about the films plot, giving the audience a clearer insight to it's most interesting bits. Also gives some name is people who star in the film, which may be on interest to the audience if they are a fan. 

The pacing is furiously fast and the laughs keep coming as our increasingly desperate heroes are assaulted out of the blue by characters and events they have no hope of comprehending. Rarely has that sinking, morning-after realisation that things are much, much worse than they seem been better evoked than when a valet parking attendant rolls up not in Bartha’s future father-in-law’s vintage Merc but a stolen police car. Truthfully, the film abounds with such moments, most of them vastly more raucous. And, true to form, Phillips delivers at least one incident that will have you rubbing your eyes in disbelief, even while you’re laughing your ass off. As for bizzaro celebrity cameos, they don’t come much more off-the-wall than Mike Tyson singing along to Phil Collins’ In The Air Tonight and smashing Galifianakis full in the face at the climax of the iconic drum fill.

Tells how audiences have reacted to the film, an over view of the review. Gives an insight to the shocks and unexpected elements of the movie, cleverly worded to make the audience read on.

What really gives The Hangover wings, though, rendering it every bit as endearing as it is profanely funny, is the chemistry between the leads — Cooper as the group’s cocksure alpha male; Helms as the neurotic whiner, and Galifianakis, in a star-making turn, as the token beardy weirdy. Their guy-centric sparring is so effortless, a direct product of their characters and the relationship between them, it seems almost inconceivable that it originated in a script. Of course it did, and full credit to Jon Lucas and Scott Moore (with input from Phillips) for that — no matter how crammed full of side-splitting set-pieces a movie is, if the characters aren’t convincing or likable you’ve got nothing. In The Hangover they are both, and the film benefits on that score from them being relatively unknown. A state of affairs that, on this evidence, is not likely to last.

The reviewer speak positively about the film, selling the film to it's audience - making them want to see the film.

Verdict

A furiously paced, inventive and flat-out hilarious take on a tried-and-tested formula. An exemplary bromantic comedy that doesn’t sacrifice heart in pursuit of laughs, maintaining plenty of the former and a superabundance of the latter.

A summary of phrases which spring to mind when watching the film, and what the film is similar too.

DECONSTRUCTION OF 'PRIORITIES' POSTER

FINAL POSTER

This is the final draft of my film poster after changing a few things to improve it. This was part of my development process as I was able to alter the poster to make it look better.

The things I altered was the font size and some of the font cover, as well as the 'Coming 10th December' to what I thought looked best.

FIRST DRAFT OF 'PRIORITIES' POSTER

To create the first draft of my poster, I went through many stages in order to produce it. The first step I took to create this poster, was creating a template so I knew where I would place everything, and what would be placed where. 

This template acted as a guide for me as I was able to locate where I wanted to place each image and to see if it worked. However in order to create the final poster, I had to select all the conventions I wanted.

-The first stage I took was selecting and image. I took a variety of photos and looked through a break down of shots throughout the film until I found my final image. I intended for the photo to portray the main character as trapped and lonely. 'Amy' feels trapped behind the lack of freedom in her life.

After looking at the images and seeing which one I felt would work the best, I chose the one below as this image shows that she wants to be rebellious from her hair and make-up and positing, although her being behind a cage shows she is literally trapped.

 -I also edited this image as the quality of my camera wasn't very good. I used an editing software called Photoshop and an online editing programme called http://www.picnik.com/ and changed the sharpness, contrast and lighting to make the photo seem professional. The image below will be the one I am using:

 

-The next step I took was placing my work into publisher. The main image spreads over the whole A4 page, with a section at the bottom for the institutional information (the producers, age rating and company name). Publisher allowed me to use fonts, text boxes and shapes. 

-With my main image in place and me knowing where I wanted everything placed, I had to select a font which would suit my image. I used various websites online such as http://www.dafont.com/ and http://www.font.com/. As my image is dull and dark, I have chosen to use a white font against it in order for it to be seen and stand out. I chose to use callibi body, which faded into my white section at the bottom of the poster where my institutional information is placed. 

-Another step I took was inserting the institutional information. Whilst doing my research on film posters, I focused on the institutional information as I knew it would play a big part on my poster. A lot of the institutional information of film posters had the same things, such as the producers and the font/size. The font had to be a lot smaller than any other font used on the poster and was usually placed at the top or the bottom of the poster. 

-I didn't originally want star ratings on my poster, however after research I learnt that using them helps the audience to be aware of the public's view and rating of a film. On publisher, I was able to create small stars and copy and pasted them to get them all the same size. 

After creating my first draft, I will show class mates and other students my poster to see what needs improving and developing.

RESEARCH INTO 'URBAN REALIST FILMS

MORE RESEARCH

This research is more concise and is focused mainly on urban realist films, which my film is. I have chosen to do general research and concise research so that I am able to see if there are different conventions which they use.

The characters in the poster of kidulthood are in a setting which symbolises between heaven and hell, of which they are placed in hell. They are looking directly at the camera, to intimidate the audience. Conventions such as institutional information and title come under the main image to imply that the actors have a higher status and are 'more' than that.

This poster is a lot different. The poster identifies inner thoughts and outside appearances. The institutional information and the title are all in the same area as the head, wanting the main focus to be on this. This is a very basic photo, however with the graphics of the images in the head helps to connote a real thoughtful issue.

-What are the differences between urban realist films/short films and high end feature film?

RESEARCH INTO FILM POSTERS

This is general research on film posters from top grossing movies which are popular and well known. I have done this research in order to understand the codes and conventions of a film poster to help me to create my own for my film.

EDITING THE FILM (PROCESS)

The film was one of the trickiest parts of the whole process as it required to learn new skills for a programme that was new to everyone. We took various steps until we ended up with our final product and these were:

-Importing our clips from the memory card into Final Cut Pro (a software we used on the MAC computers)

-Choosing the clips we were going to use and edit and putting them in order on the timeline in Final Cut Pro

-Editing the clips

-Adding effects (transition, sound effects, distortion effects etc)

-Adding the credits, statistics and our 'special thanks' names who helped out during the film. 

We knew we had to split these tasks to make sure they work out equally between all of us, however my group wasn't as devoted as I was to this task and I found myself doing these tasks while my group were on hand to give me tips and help of what they thought should be added. Some tasks we did as a group where we had discussions of scenes which need to be altered or re-filmed, but when it came to doing this some of my group members didn't help out so again I found myself completing their tasks.

Once clips were uploaded into Final Cut Pro which took a long time as they were such big memory, we had the task of finding which clips we wanted and what we didn't. We found that the last clips of each scene were our best out takes as they had no jerky movements from bad filming, or bad lighting. When decided upon which clips we wanted, we sequenced them on the timeline.

We then had to crop each clip down to our satisfaction, using the tools acquired on Final Cut Pro. We the tools trim and blade to cut any irrelevant parts of the scene we didn't need so we could keep to the film limit of 5 minutes. I watched our cut down clips a few more times as I noticed that we running over the film clips and cut out more parts we didn't need. Using Final Cut Pro has taught me new things, now when I'm watching films I think that I am able to do that and I tried things out in my own film. For example, when the character of Amy is on the phone to her mother, I wanted to have shot reverse shot to show that the conversation is happening at the same time, in two different locations. To do this, I bladed through both of the conversations we filmed at added Amy and then her mother by using the position tool.

The next step was to add the transitions between the shots where we wanted it. We used only a few transitions at the beginning and end of the film as we felt we didn't need too many. One transition we used at the end was last scene where Amy is apologising to her mum, which we then used the dissolve tool to flow the statistics into the film. Also, whilst playing around on Final Cut Pro I came across slow motion. I used this effect on a point of view shot of Amy's looking up at a character after to taking drugs. Using this effect made it seem to the audience that she is disorientated and unstable. 

We then had to add sound clips. As I didn't have a microphone on me at the time of recording, I decided to use the ringtone from when Amy's mum calls her at the beginning and the copy the sound from that and added it to the end when Amy's mum calls again. I used the same sound for continuity issues, as she has to have the same ring tone.

Lastly was adding the credits to the beginning and end of the film and the statistics. Final Cut Pro offers a range of different opening credits, of which we chose to use one which was a wooden floor effect that symbolises her house with spilt alcohol on it. This opening credit, I feel is very effective as it allows the audience to think instantly what this film may consist of. We then had to input the title into the credit which was simple as all I had to do was click on the box and write 'PRIORITIES'. 

We also have credits and statistic at the end of the film. The style I chose for the statistics creates an impact as  the statistic slides in with a black back ground and white font then instantly you see 'Don't let that be you' which is a direct message to the audience. We had a movie trailer effect at the end with insert of 'media group 3' and our names as directors, writers and producers.

DAY 5 OF FILMING

This being our last day of filming, we were scheduled to film our last scene. We originally filmed this scene differently, but after watching it back, we thought location would be best. The scene started with Amy coming home from school, we filmed this as a long shot and Amy walking up towards the camera, and when she arrived at the camera we included a sound effect which we recorded of a phone ringing. When she answer the phone, we did an over the shoulder close up of the phone to show that 'mum' was calling. We then had a face on medium shot of Amy answering her phone which cut to her sitting down on the wall. Using a close up at this point show how emotionally in touch she was with this conversation . Instead of having a significant and abrupt ending, we chose to use Amy on the phone fade out in statistics about peer pressure into taking drugs.

DAY 4 OF FILMING

As we all had taken leading roles which we took in turns, today it was my turn to direct as I had filmed every scene before. My group member filmed the morning after the party scene, where Amy is disorientated and shaken up after realising she had taken drugs. In this scene, we used the bedroom again, where the actress arises from her to bed to realise she has a bottle of vodka in her hand and major regrets from the night before. To portray this to the audience, we had natural day light to make it seem realistic as no one sleeps with a light on. The props we used in this scene was alcohol bottles, however they weren't infront of the camera  as well as clothes, shoes and rubbish scattered. 

We had her wake up with an establishing shot of the room, which moved around to focus mainly on Amy waking up. We then had a close up of an alarm clock, then cut to a long shot of Amy rushing and getting dressed as she was later for school.

DAY 3 OF FILMING

The scene we filmed on day 3 was our main scene - the party scene. We need a lot of people in this scene as we had to show a house party, so we arranged a night at our location with a bunch of people. The scene began with a group of rowdy people entering through the front door and not taking any recognition of Amy, this shows that they are here for the house party, not her. This is the scene I filmed as my friend's were in the this scene as we didn't have enough people at the party due to some of our friends not being available. As the party moves on, Amy is approached by a popular student in her year Sadie, I chose to film this scene as a medium long shot at a 45 degree angle in a corridor so the scene became more intimate and the audience weren't distracted by the party. The scene consisted with Amy and Sadie talking, and then Amy leaving the shot and Sadie entering. During this scene, Amy is asked to come somewhere, so in this same shot, without moving I filmed her entering the bathroom, then did a shot behind her closing to the door to make it link. 

We then moved on to Amy looking down and a point of view extreme close up on Sadie asking her to try the drugs. We originally shot a scene of Amy taking the drugs, but we thought implying it would be a lot more sophisticated and let the audience think for themselves. 

I also filmed a scene which happens later that evening after Amy has taken the drugs, I filmed her coming down the stairs at a low angle to show her staggering and her loss of control from the drugs. We then have a shot where we see someone approach her which is a close up, which then moves into a point of view shot looking at this person, which then cuts back to Amy at a medium shot telling her to leave her alone. We thought that if we were showing a point of view shot, with our editing skills we could make her vision blurred and make it slow motion, we did this with the next shot of the person shaking the camera. 

DAY 2 OF FILMING

After filming previously, our group was aware of the time scale we had and roughly how long it would take to film each scene, now knowing that we needed to get as much footage with a variety of shots as possible. Our main aim of this session was to get the scenes filmed in the school done. There are two conversations over the phone with the mother and daughter and originally we wanted to do shot reverse shot for both, although we realised with our limited time scale, we chose to have one conversation over the phone at the beginning of the film and use the actor Amy to reply as if she was speaking to her in the other conversation. On our first day of filming, whilst using the script we made, we filmed the replies of Amy on the phone seperately in a series of different shots. However, for the mother on the phone, we filmed this as one whole scene. We learnt yesterday that we would be making editing harder for ourselves as with the editing skills we had we could blade and cut to what we wanted, rather than using a series of different clips. 

The location we needed for this scene was some sort of office, to portray that she is a busy working mum  as she later goes on a business trip. We shot this film as a medium shot in one whole go, however we later realised that using different shots would be more effective. As we didn't have time to re-film, we chose to put our editing skills to use and chose to zoom in on the scene at different points we wanted to look as if we had different shots.

DAY 1 OF FILMING

On the first day, we made a plan of what we were going to film and where. We decided we would go in order from the top, so we initially started with the first scene. Our plan was to know what location we wanted, what props we needed, and what characters we needed. After we had made our plan, we got everyone together at the same place and did a few test runs. When doing test runs, we felt that our original script that we made didn't feel right, so gave the actors freedom and told them to with the flow, after giving them the basic plot, outline of the story and a brief outline of that scene. In this session, we filmed the first scene is various different ways until we felt we had the final cut which was to perfection. 

Scene one is the scene with Amy (Rojin Kazemi) and Stacy (Leah Coombes) which is shot in a room.  The props we used in this scene was a mobile phone and basic bedroom elements such as pictures, a laptop and notepads. The filming in this scene is very limited at the beginning as it consists of a still long shot, keeping it very naturalistic. However when Amy receives a call, we use lots of different shots such as shot reverse shot for the conversation on the phone, medium, close up, medium close up and long shots to show different emotions at different points of the conversation (whether they were excited, stern or upset.)

STORYBOARD

Our story board is a drawn up visualisation before our film is film and produced. Doing this has allowed us to see there are potential problems which may not work when it comes to filming. Also this gives us an idea, and acts as a structure which we can follow.

FILMING SCHEDULE

This filming schedule is going to be used to keep track of when we will be filming, helping us keep know when we are available as well as our actors.

MARKET RESEARCH RESULTS

Collated asnwers and analysis:

These are the results we gathered after handing out a total of 1o copies to students of hampstead school.

We gathered that drugs are of high interest of the people who were surveyed, however in our film we have chosen to take a more sophisticated approach on this topic, and imply a drugs scene. Also, as our film is intended to be for a campaign/charity, we would like it to feature on a website. From our survey, we have learnt that the audience would prefer it to be part of a campaign as it would have more of a purpose.

MARKET RESEARCH

In order to create a film which will appeal to a certain audience, market research is key. Audience research allows me, as a film maker know who and what my audience is. Finding out whom my audience is, what they would like my film to be about and how to be sure of all of this.

I have created a questionnare which are specified questions relating to my audience and my film. The questionnaire consists of closed ended questions in order to collect relevent data we need. The questionnaie we used is below:

FINAL SCRIPT

When it came to actually filming, we realised that some of our script felt that it needed altering to suit our actors. We decided that re-scripting was the best thing to do, as second time around our script was improved and developed process.
