2. MY ROLES – PROPS DESIGNER,
PRODUCTION DESIGNER
The production designer is responsible for the location and feel of the film.
I think I would be suited for this role as I have creative and imaginative ideas
as to where the production will take place.
A props master controls all aspects. They oversee, and are responsible for, the
procurement or production, inventory, care and maintenance of all props
associated with productions and ensuring that they are available on time. I
believe I will be suitable for this role as I have certain props I can use to add
on to the trailer allowing the audience to be engaged within buying the film.
3. MY ROLES – PROPS DESIGNER,
PRODUCTION DESIGNER
Using my Blackberry Curve 8900, I took a picture of the demolished Heygate Estate flats.
I was suggesting to the team
to use the demolished Heygate
Estate flats situated in
Elephant & Castle, London in
the night to add to the deathly
horrific theme consisting with
the Ransom. This would allow
the audience to understand
the director's (Bernard)
point of view. The demolished
flats at the night can also
Represent a sense of insecurity,
vulnerability and danger due
to its instability. This will add
on to the misc-en-scene.
4. MY ROLES – PROPS DESIGNER,
PRODUCTION DESIGNER
Taken from a Blackberry Curve 8900 , I took pictures of another location situated in
Vauxhall in front of Vauxhall Station. We decided to use this location to emphasize the
actor's costume. Due to the actor’s posh attire, we decided a wealthy location would be
necessary towards his costume. A film such as Inception’s Dom Cobb’s character wears
formal clothes and this reflects the location importantly.
6. MY ROLES – PROPS DESIGNER,
PRODUCTION DESIGNER
CHAIR
This will be used with the addition of strapping the
protagonist to the chair. The effect of this creates
tension as this restricts the protagonist’s
movement making it hard for him to escape. Close-
ups of different body parts where the actor is
strapped will demonstrate how hard it is for the
actor to escape this certain situation.
7. MY ROLES – PROPS DESIGNER,
PRODUCTION DESIGNER
TORN T-SHIRT
A ripped T-Shirt would add to the climatic ending
along with the non-diegetic fast pace music
building suspense. It will show the audience that
the actor is in an atmosphere of invulnerable
people despite whatever actions he performs; he's
in pain and suffering. This was taken from
Paranormal Activity Remix by Krept, Konan,
Political Peak, Johnny Gunz and Scorcher - black
young men representing themselves and UK black
men in general as dangerous people as the video
consists of smoking weed and talking about sex &
drugs. This adds to the suspense as the torn t-shirt
represents his damage showing the audience he
has a less chance of escaping.
8. MY ROLES – PROPS DESIGNER,
PRODUCTION DESIGNER
DESIGNER BAGS
Using designer bags such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Fendi,
Selfridges and vice versa, this can allow the audience to
pick up the protagonist as a trendy cool stylish person
also expensive. He will be holding this while walking
before getting approached by a gang of youths. The
resemblance between the youths and the protagonist
will be clear; a trendy person against a rowdy ruff gang.
9. MY ROLES – ACTOR
I think I would be suited for this role as in some of the shots portrayed within the
film, the props that I own would be suitable for the shots.
Due to film "RANSOM" being portrayed with anger, depression and frustration, I
believe showing mainly these three expressions will allow the audience to
sympathise with the actor
10. MY ROLES – ACTOR
Anger. The actor taken away by unidentified
youths will be angry that he's been handled
carelessly. This will represent a clear identification
to the audience that this is uncomfortable and
wants to break free.
Frustration. The actor strapped to the
chair will be frustrated and anxious to
leave. This will allow the audience to
emphasize with the actor's grief and feel
sorry for him.
Depression. The actor strapped to the chair pleading for mercy and
forgiveness producing tears will represent an atmosphere of struggle
and unhappiness. This will also allow the audience identify that the
current position he is in is not a place they would want to be
themselves.
11. MY ROLES – SCRIPT SUPERVISOR
I think I would be suited for this role as I'm quite a demanding person and I believe this
comes into position here as I would be observing the dialogue produced compared to
how I want it portrayed.
This is a draft script for our trailer
Ransom. I improvised and
imagined how it would look like
judging by the director's
storyboard and story. It shows and
describes the events occurring
while dialogue is produced along
with actor's actions.
12. MY ROLES – SCRIPT SUPERVISOR
This is the finalised script discussed
with the director and camera
operator.
We also discussed that some of the
script may be improvised as this may
develop our trailer to be more
realistic.
