Evaluation Activity 1.

The title of our film is called 'Realse Date'. We as a group decided to call it this as we thought straight away without even seeing the movie it already set off to our audience a idea of what the film was going to be about. We also decided to call it this because the story happens all in one day, the day Thomas gets realsed. And thridly the reason why we called it this was because every title has a significant meaning, ans we thought calling it Realse Date it would bring attention to this one day, and give a tension about this day, if this day was gonna be the realse of something good or something so bad.

We decided to set Realse Date in the depride area of London as we needed the genre of our film to match the location, so we set Realse Date in Hackney (Stoke Newighton) East london. So we need an area to show estate which tells us it is an working class environment, leading to a high population of crime.

In the opening scene of Release Date we wanted to give away the story without giving it away, and introduce our characters through Mese-en-scense. In the opening scene we are introuduced to two characters.


Both characters are have their head covers to suggest that they are involved with crime, and both in tracksuits bottom. This tells the audience there are crime related without even watching the whole film.

 Here we used two jesus's piece to represent good and evil. Thomas is wearing a black jesus piece whilst Jayde is wearing a white jesus piece telling us the audience that Thomas is more involved in the crime life and has a negative impact on Jayde.








For my titles, i used a cold blue kind of colour and hard brick front. The brick front was meant to implie crime while the cold blue colour was there juxtapose the front use, as the cold blue made it more deeper than it is.

The film begins with Jayde looking at a bag with deep concentration, suggesting to the audience that this bag is of some importance.

 

Then a cut in to a flash back, joining the flash back to this bag as we see the bag continously in the flash back. 

And then we see it continuously in the present time, giving the audience the information that this bag is of importance to this character and has always been of importance to this character.












In the opening scene the characters are introduced one in an deep, focused way and the other in a way that conform to the dominate ideology of young black males.

Jayde






















Thomas
























However we are introduced too Thomas only in the flash back suggesting that he is of none existence somehow. but has a close relationship to Jayde.
