Production Music






 


This music has been used as it goes well with our production logo as it gives it that realistic edge. The actuality that we have used an eagle will ensure that we interact with our viewers. The fact the sound is loud, and somewhat piercing will also ensure that we get their attention from the very start, which is a great asset as we are aiming to get an emotional response from the viewers due to the issues our Drama tackles.
We obviously chose an eagle due to the actuality that our Logo is of an eagle, and obviously it goes together.

Instrumental for the Opening sequence


After hours of searching, we finally decided that this instrumental would be suitable for our open sequence due to its fast pace, and its heavy beat.  Furthermore, the fact the beat picks up in certain areas would suit our sequence as it could easily be merged with the clothes-changing and the overall theme of the film.

After extensive editing we were able to actually use the instrumental to our advantage and utilize it to actually make our open sequence more effective, and use it to actually make the film much more exciting.

The fact its fast-paced will make it more racy, and help viewers interact more with the film in the opening sequence, meaning they will be engaged from the very first secound, and thats what this intrumental delivers.

However, we now need to decide how we are going to portray this instrumental, as it is copyrighted, and we will need to show that our main character is somehow listening to it, through some form of media, meaning more thought will need to go into it.

Medium shots and close ups (Camera angles we may use)


The medium shot shows the character, and helps engage viewers with conversations, making them more effective. It also shows facial expressions better, and ultimately would help us reach the effective of developing the character more effectively. The facial expressions will be more visible, and will help viewers learn the character more.


Close up shots will help us make scenes more dramatic, and by large, more effective. How it will be rare to see this in a opening sequence. For example the above image, we are able to distinguish the male has a hair in between his eyebrows, we would not probably notice this from other shots. This in itself expresses how close up shows that close up express more emotion, allowing me to conclude it will be a good option for us to use.

Long shots and tracking shots (Camera Angles that may be used)


We may use long shots to show the character from afar to show is full body, familiarizing the viewers with the character. Furthmore, since its a drama, we will need to go  in depth with the character so camera shots will be important top help enable viewers to learn more about him. In addition to this, it will help allow us to actually show the difference in his clothing, which will ultimately portray the main purpose of our open sequence.
Tracking shots will enable us to actually move with the main character to actually help achieve our ulterior motive which is to actually to help the viewers learn more about the character and allow him to develop. Since we are doing a drama genre, it is essential we allow the character to develop, and shots such as these will allow this to help this happened, as it will seem as if they are with him, and ultimately creating that atmosphere of them knowing him, meaning whatever happens to him will have a bigger impact on them.

Drama film History

A drama movie that depends mostly on in-depth character development, interaction, and highly emotional themes. In a good drama film, the audience are able to experience what other characters are feeling and identify with someone.

This genre could be espiecially useful by challenging the ignorance from stereotypes or any other overly simplistic generalizations by bringing it down to a more personal and complex level. Some movies could also be a therapeutic by showing how characters cope with their problems, challenges or issues. and to the extent the viewer can identify with the characters with his or her own world.

This movie genre can be contrasted which relies on fast-pace and develops characters sparsely. Dramatic films include a very large spectrum of movies. War movies, courtroom movies, crime dramas, historical dramas, and biography films are all drama films but because of the large number of drama films these movies have been sub-categorized. All films genres can incluyde dramatic elements, such as comedies, action films, and horror movies, byt typically films considered drama films focus mainly on the drama of the main issue.

Black tie Justification ( Costume Planning)

By choosing a Black tie, it will merge well with the white shirt, which has black buttons. The fact the tie is black, it will help the white stand out, and by large, help him stand out. The contrast in the colours have this affect, which is the reasoning behind the choice. Furthermore, it looks casual, and makes him look smart. The focus of that scene is the fact he's peer(s) is/are trying to turn his attention away from his work, but he refuses, ultimately insinuating he is dedicated. The plain style clothing will help viewers notice that more than the actual clothing, which is why we chose such bland colours.

White shirt, black buttons Justification ( Costume Planning)

We chose this type of shirt, as, similar to the yellow nike football kit, it will enable our character to stand out, and look the academical part. The white shirt, will be conspicious in a crowd of dark-attired people, which is the reasoning behind this choice. The black buttons stand out on the white shirt, and make the white more distinguishable, ultimately, helping us achieve our objective .
