POST PRODUCTION SCRIPT - 7th December 2015

Young boy: Kieran
Man: Michael

OPENING:

1. EXT: Opening montage

This opening montage will show clips of the two main actors getting up and how this part of their life, like many other aspects of their lives, is so different from each other. The montage does not include any dialogue hence the lack of a script for this part of the film.

The first shot of the montage includes the man waking up early and looking to his bedside table and picking up a picture. He sheds a tear and puts the picture down. The camera then focuses on the picture of his once happy family as he gets up to leave the room.

The second shot of the montage includes the young boy waking up in a dirty room and turns to his bedside table to find a cigarette. He sparks a cigarette and then proceeds to get up.

The 3rd shot of the montage includes the man in a nice bedroom putting on his tie whilst looking in the mirror.

The 4th shot of the montage includes Kieran looking in a dirty mirror putting his hood up.

2. EXT: Graveyard

The old man walks into the cemetery slowly. The old man is dressed in a suit, holding a bouquet of flowers and walking respectively through the cemetery towards a specific tombstone. He looks sad and depressed with his head looking down to the ground.

3. EXT: Tunnel scene

Kieran is loitering around in a tunnel located under a dual carriage way. He is looking suspicious and constantly looking both ways to see if someone is coming. He has one hand in his pocket and he is smoking a cigarette in the other. He is dressed in a full tracksuit and can be stereotypically associated as being a 'chav'.

Kieran looks left as he sees another young male enter the tunnel and walk towards Kieran. Kieran immediately throws his cigarette onto the floor and grabs the male by the neck pushing him up to the wall aggressively.

Kieran

Yo bruv where the fucks my money

Young male

*breathing heavily and stuttering*

Kieran

where the fucks my money

Young male
*breathing fast and heavy* I'll get it to you for 6 man..... Please man allow me i'm sorry

Kieran

*smiles*

4. EXT: Graveyard scene

The old man reaches the tombstone in which his wife's name is engraved. The old man takes a deep breathe and kneels down to place the bouquet on to the grave. A tear runs down the face of the old man as he closes his eyes for a moment. He then stands up and walks off with his hands in his pocket.

5. EXT: Drug deal scene

Kieran takes place in a drug deal with another young male. Kieran walks down an alleyway and very smoothly hands over a small bag of drugs whilst the other male hands him a £20 note. The two people then walk opposite ways down the alley. Kieran then emerges into a council estate in which he walks down the street.

5. EXT: Bridge scene

Kieran is walking down a bridge whilst talking on the phone and with a cigarette behind his ear. He walks past the old man who is stood looking out over the river. The boy when past him continues to look back and watch what the old man and what he is doing.

The old man then proceeds to try step up onto the edge of the bridge but fails to lift his leg up completely and stumbles back. The young boy consequently saw this and runs over to stop the man from proceeding with this suicidal intention.

Kieran

Oi! get down from there!

The End.

Abridged film opening

We decided to call the film "Abridged". This was because the important location in our opening is on a bridgea and also the word abridged means to shorten so this could have connotations with the shortening of a life.

The production company is Wong Productions in association with JR Productions and the distribution company is Atko Studios. 

Roles:

• Cinematographor- Tom 
• Sound- Louis
• Editor- Milo 

• Screenplay- Milo 
• Storyboard- Tom 
• Call Sheet- Louis

We went on a recce to look for some possible locations to film our opening. Here are some photos that were taken:

Ilkley Graveyard 

Ilkley Graveyard 

Ilkley Graveyard

Ilkley Swing Bridge 

Ilkley Swing Bridge 

We ended up choosing the above locations for the scene in which Mike is walking to the grave yard. We believe that this was a good idea as it helped add to the mise-en-scene and the emotional atmosphere in which the film will emit. We chose Ilkley swing bridge as its not only linked to the name but it also gives an eerie look with the use of wooden planks and the dampness gives a look of decay which can emphasise and signify the mood produced by this film. We also decided to use locations such as the stone bridge in Ilkley which is also linked to the name but also looks realistic in the sense that you would die if you jumped off of it. This bridge is quite isolated signifying how mike feels inside. We also used the location of the underpass in burley to film a drug related, violent scene. We used this location as it is signifies the urban working class lifestyle of the protagonist. We believe that this has enabled the rise en scene to be explored further by the viewer.


We have 2 main characters:

• Kieron  (Kezza) - Milo 

Kieron is seen as the stereotypical chav and wannabe British gangster who sells drugs and involves himself with all the wrong types of people in order to succeed as a drug dealer. This character is violent and often undergoes criminal activities to embed a sense of fear among his peers with the intention of gaining respect.

• Michael - Mike (Toms Dad)

Social realist films and influences

List of films under the social realist genre:
- Harry Brown
- Adulthood
- Kidulthood
- Anuvahood
- Bullet Boy
- Ill manors
- Tyrannosaur
- Kes
- This is England
- Fish tank
- Four Lions
- Top Boy (T.V Series)
- My brother the devil
- Dead mans shoes
- The guvanors

in terms of film influences for my specific film opening I have closely followed films 'Harry Brown' and 'The govanors'. Both of these films are different but similar. Both films contain 2 main characters and in both cases the protagonist is an older male who is at conflict with the antagonist whom is a younger male. This follows nicely to the idea of our story apart from the fact that the presumed antagonist and protagonist are ultimately life savers to each other, suggesting a good relationship between the two characters. Other films which have influenced my decision with the film is the hard hitting almost sinister nature of 'Ill manors' directed by Ben Drew (Plan B) I wanted to incorporate the  hard themes into my film.

Swede

Pitch

Tyrannosaur Swede

We, as a group have taken a classic example of a generic Warp Film: Tyrannosaur, and we have taken the generic idea of this specific film and decided to shoot the opposite of it and turn it into a stereotypical Working Title film with the generic assumptions of British society embedded into it.

Whilst doing this re-shoot I felt a number of things had improved. In particular the shoot improved due too in depth planning of the re-shoot. This planning included: call sheets, story boards and a screenplay which allowed the director to shoot the scene efficiently and no drawbacks with not knowing what to shoot. All the people in the class were given specific roles for each scene which allowed the work load to be evenly spread throughout the group enabling it to be a group effort and enabling the work to be done as efficiently as possible.

The Guvnors Opening Analysis

Writer: Gabe Turner 

Director: Gabe Turner 

Starring: Mark Preston, Richard Blackwood, Joelle Koissi 

Storyline

The Guvnors is both love letter and hate mail to the alpha male. This story's alpha is Mitch who lives buried in suburban London, having turned his back on his previous life of casual violence and intimidation as part of a legendary South East London firm. In the modern day he's the doyen of respectability and quiet confidence, but Mitch used to be a Guv'nor. This film holds a mirror up to Mitch and shows him the monster once again, buried deep in both DNA and psyche, desperate to break out and wreak havoc. ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2992524/?ref_=ttpl_pl_tt )

Analysis 

There are 2 company idents: Fullwell73 Productions and Metrodome Distribution. There are 20 titles all together including the main title of the film, these titles are white in a san serif font. As the title appears it is in a different place on the screen each time- this could have been done to avoid dullness. When the title dissapears the letters go one by one. They dissapear with smoke almost like an explosion, this could possibly have connotations with guns as they are involved in the film. For the main title it is red on a black backround which could symbolise violence. It is in a simplistic bubble font with black marks on it as if the title has worn away- this signifies decay and working class. From the start to the main transitioning to the film the duration is 3 minutes 45 seconds.

The first shot is a medium two shot. One character is stood up smoking and the other on is sat on the sofa. At this point in terms of sound/music there is like a whistling backround noise which is a bit misterious which creates suspence. On top of this there is diologue between the two chatacters. After this scene it proceeded to a montage where the clips alternate between the older man living in a middle class lifestyle to earlier footage of his working class upbringing.
