Preliminary Task

The Unloved

Last week, I went to film club at my school and it's where we watch films and gain more knowledge about films that are not necessarily well known and made independently. We watched 'The Unloved'. I had watched this prior to film club, as it was shown on channel 4 
a couple of months ago. 
It is about an eleven year old girl called Lucy growing up in a children's home due to her abusive alcoholic dad, and her mum abandoning her. It was shown through her point of view. It was part of the 'britain's forgotten children series' that ran two years ago.
It was extremely emotional, but a good film nonetheless. 

Preliminary Task: Storyboard

Preliminary Task: The Planning Sheet of Ideas

Preliminary Task: Concept/Idea

My group which consists of Hazel, Abi and I, have been toying with the idea of doing an action/comedy based clip. We came up with several different ideas such as 

• A CSI themed clip with comedic stunts.
• 3 MI5 agents (2 of which are clumsy and hopeless) on a mission to find a missing agent.
• Charlie's Angels with a definite comedy balance.

We finally decided on the second option, as we felt that option would let us think outside of the box, and give us experience on how to approach the main task. This idea entails 3 MI5 agents (Agents T, B and K) who are on a mission to find one of their team members; Agent P. The clip begins with Agent T appearing on film, doing an impresive somersault, following her, are two luckluster agents (B and K) who don't know their left from right. We incoprate many shots into the film; the main shots we must have are the 180 degree angle, shot reverse shot and match on action. We include a shot of Agent T coming through the door, walking across the room, sitting down and articulating in a conversation with Agent B and K. We then find Agent P. That is the end of the preliminary film task.
