Progress report
This week we went to Ealing as a group and started filming certain bits of our production. We brought along one of our actors Rahelan who is the boxer. We recorded a scene where he tries to take out some money out of the bank baring in mind he is loaded however had no money in his bank account. We also took a photo shoot of our boxer to upload on my blog in order to convey his appearance etc.
Also the images are to be used for my magazine cover. We visited a drama teacher to get help with our script and he gave us an idea of how we should present the Wag which was very convenient.

Boxer
These photos of the boxer show the characters presentation and identity as to how a real/normal boxer would be appeared as however our chosen actor is quite different. A McDonald's milkshake is held in his hand to imply and convey his scorn act. Also the uploaded pictures convey the positions of his act highlighting the role of a boxer. More over the glasses also make the act quite funny as boxers have a tendency of being topless, careful with their diet, care about appearance; always wanting to look good etc. hence the use of McDonald's in his hand and glasses make the scene look more amusing for the audience.

Progress report.
PROGRESS REPORT:
Within the week we've all had a look at other locations where we can film our production, places like a bus stop, library, off licenses, and streets. Pictures have been taken and uploaded onto our blog and have been taken into consideration on whether those are the suitable and appropriate locations for our production.
We've come up with an idea of 3 lives all in one production where they are failing to do what they want which lead

Mise en scene planning.
One of the pre production tasks was to look at the Mise en scene of our program.
Casting:
As shown in our presentation we have already looked at a number of different cast members who fit the role of our characters well. We are also hoping to work closely with the schools drama department in order to cast the correct members for our production in order to make it as professional as possible.
Locations:
We have also briefly discussed locations in our presentation. When discussing on locations for characters such as the immigrant we thought of Southall Broadway but later came to the conclusion it would be inappropriate because of the riots in 1984 it could offend a number of people and also break ofcom's rules. Other highly Asian populated areas such as Hounslow will be used instead. We will also be having scenes shot in estates, gyms and boxing arena's alone.
Lighting:
When considering lighting we decided it would be best for the type of program it is to leave it looking as natural as possible and so we have decided to use no particular lighting and just natural lighting.
Props:
Each character will possess different props. For example the failed boxer will carry boxing gloves, the failed WAG would carry a handbag with an animal inside of it.
Costumes:
The costumes worn by the actors is a very important aspect in this program as it will be what allows the audience to differentiate the characters with for example the failed boxer is likely to be wearing boxing clothes such as shorts and so the audience are able to recognize and identify with him.

Also, the schedule will include what days we will do what and roughly have an estimated time for how long we will spend with each other. There will be days where we bring certain equipment to the meeting and maybe even actors who may be involved in the production.

Ill manors questions.
a) What are the typical codes and conventions of film trailers - what information is usually provided?

g) Are the main stars visible in the trailer?

i) Is there information about the release date?

k) How has the genre of the film been represented through characters, settings, lighting, colour, music, camera shots/movements/angles and editing?
The iconography shows that the narrative has got to do with crime, although the use of setting and music portrays it has got to do with teenagers who have got themselves into the wrong path in life. shows struggle in their lifes hence they're involved with drugs. the lyrics in the background music talks about life. talks about how people are how the are because of their lives at home. the characters are shown as hoodrats, indicating the stereotypical view on teenagers nowdays.
