For the part of the protagonist we look
for someone who had the best acting skills because we need the person to look
rough to make them appear dirty and cold like they have no choice but to run
away and hide so the person we chose to do this part was Sam H because he had
good drama skills which he used to show that he was worried and is hiding away
and he is always conscious of anyone finding him the character has done
something bad that we don’t know about, it create a psychological effect
because you don’t know why this man is in this situation because you think that
the person has done nothing wrong. The character of Sam is wearing tracksuit
clothing to show that he has been through tough times and hasn’t got a lot of
money so he might be hunted down because of money trouble. The camera shot that
shows the man is a high angle shot looking down at the protagonist which shows
that he is weak because it shows him low down which shows that he is worthless.
I would link Sam’s character to this man out of the ’Purge’ this is similar because
the character turns homeless and is on
the run living rough in this time because everyone is being hunted down by
people that are killing innocent people. It also shows that the man is worried
by the look on his face because he knows that if they find him they will kill
him this is the same effect for Sam’s character because he is being hunted down
and it’s not normal that a swat team turns up with loaded weapons.
The age of the man is surprising because
the man looks quite young which makes you feel uncomfortable because it shows
that anyone can commit crimes or offences so it might mean that he could be
part of a gang or group that have killed or stolen and items of big value. In
the building where the man is hiding it shows that he’s got everything with him
for example he got a sleeping bag, tins of food, a lamp and a gun that he
carries around in his rucksack so it shows that he might be moving every night
constantly changing his location so nobody finds him. We set out a building
like the man had moved into it to hide for a while to hide from everyone. The
location that we filmed in was my dad’s DIY and Landscaping business where we
used the yard and cabin as the location to give an effect that there was no one
about the place was isolated and deserted so it would be a good location for
the man to run away to because you wouldn’t think of hiding in a small cabin
surrounded by yard materials, it shows the that it is not the best place to
stay but the man has no choice because of what he has done. The lighting that
we used on this character was bright and showed the man clearly, both
appearance and figure to show how rough the man is living, like he is lit up
like people know where he is. This is Sam and he was playing the role of the
protagonist it shows that his facial expression shows that the man is miserable
because of what has happen like his life has turned upside down. He has
obviously escaped quickly because all he has is his bag of food and his gun
which shows that he might be being hunted using the gun as self-defence.
We decided that Tom (Me), Glen, Alfie and
Joe were going to be taking the roles of the SWAT team so we dressed them
appropriate for the role so the soldiers wore dark clothing to shows that they
are trying to hide themselves so they don’t get caught when complete the tasks
and on a mission to kill the runaway because of what he has done in the past.
They all had balaclavas to hide the identity of their face so if they were
caught on CCTV they wouldn’t know who they were it also shows that they are
professional during a missions because they don’t want to leave anything
behind. They also wore vests just in case there was any gun fighting because
they know of the man’s history they know that he might be holding a gun on him.
Finally the soldiers carrying guns to show their authority and power just in
case they have to use them there is a greater amount of them than the runaway
so it shows they have the numbers over the man which gives them the better
odds. The idea of soldiers pulling up to an abandoned site would create tension
when they pull through the gate from a quiet, deserted place to a swat search.
The appearance of the soldiers gives a feeling that they are powerful people
who use violence and force to get the job done so they could have been hired to
take the man out. The camera shots used for the soldiers show them as powerful
men because they roll up in a 4x4 vehicle which show that they are professional
and important because when they come through the broken gate which shows that
the area is rough and rundown a low angle camera shot is used to make them look
big and powerful as they enter the site.
I would link our characters to the men out of the ‘Expendables’
because of the way that they are dressed because they are wearing really dark
clothing which shows that they are also professional because they are ready to
do a mission another reason that are similar to the soldiers in our thriller is
because they are all holding guns which show no fear and they are always ready
just in case any trouble occurs.
The lighting that we used on the soldiers was quite
dark to give an effect that they were stalking the man in the shadows always
looking for him from behind, the reason that we used dark light was because we
didn’t want to give the identity away of the soldiers because they were
supposed to be SAS/Swat team to hide them away from the audience so they didn’t
know what they were searching for. We used the tourches to create a spot light
effect like they were searching,we wanted a dark lighting effect because noot
many thrillers happen in the day so we wanted to capture the moment so with the
tourches and flood lights we turn the place into a searching ground.
This shot that I have used
shows the soldier run to a position behind some cover this is because the
soldiers know that the person that they are hunting has a gun this shows that
the soldiers know what they are here for. The soldier in this shot is Alfie
cleary it shows that the soldiers have more survival skills than the
protagonist because they have been trained to kill. The shot that we used was a
long shot because we have got the soldiers whole body in the shot as well as
his surroundings. The reason that we wanted to to use thisshot was because we
wanted to capture the movement of the soldiers as he runs into cover.
This next shot of the soldier shows that they have no
fear because the soldiers use brute force to open doors like they don’t care about
anything until they find the man. It shows that
they search all over the site even in the scummy old containers, it
shows that they are only here for one thing and that is the man dead or a live.
I am the soldier in this shot I chose the clothing for the soldiers and I
thought I made the right decsion about what the soldiers should wear.
This final shot a shows the last soldier Glen who took
the role of the leader of the soldiers so we used a close up on his face to
show that he was directing the rest and he was in charge. I thought that having a head soldier shows
that he was in control because he was mainly at the front leading the rest of
the team because he had no fear he was always at the front. The reason that the
leader of the group was the most dominated person of the group because he had
the biggest weapon of the group so he would lead the team and check the area
before his team walked in.
