The document discusses various creative decisions made in developing an opening sequence for a teen drama film. It was decided to place the title at the end to allow time for audience interpretation. Scenes were shot in an exposed corridor near a train station to establish the urban setting typical of teen films. Costumes and makeup were used to portray the characters as teenagers, including dark colors and facial bruising. Camerawork included low angle shots to set the scene and close-ups of a bloodied face to convey seriousness. Elements like jump cuts, music, and text styles were chosen to effectively establish the genre of teen drama and draw the audience in from the start.

Won't look back - Andrew Goodwin
The document provides an analysis of the music video for Duke Dumont's song "Won't Look Back". It summarizes the plot of the music video, which depicts three men committing a parody jewelry store robbery on pogo sticks while wearing political masks. They are then chased through the city by a policeman on a Segway. Though the lyrics are about love, the video focuses more on depicting the fast pace and rhythm of the song through the comedic chase scene.

- 1. 1 St. Andrew’s Catholic School Unit G324: Advanced Portfolio in Media Locations Group Members: TJ Salango – 1220 Jack Connell – 1103 Maryasie Kircin – 1158 Jessica Blundell - 1020 Location: Ashtead Village: The majority of the trailer will be filmed in Ashtead Village’s high street; this is mainly for the ease of filming as our school is located near the village and the cast can also travel to and from here fairly easily. This image reveals the whole street and the general environment of the area. Usually there aren’t a lot of people on the street, especially on weekdays whilst we will be filming, which is even more convenient for filming in public. The soap will open with a basic introduction to the setting, ranging from extreme close ups and long distance shots of shops and buildings from low angles to create the dark environment and tense setting of the scene. This is a general shot of the high street with the shops laying across each side of the road. The body of our filming will take place on the right side of the street as it offers us a wide variety of scenery and the necessary settings to include our different themes. It is also easier just to film from one side of the street. A range of tracking shots and panning will occur here to follow the main character’s story. For example, this patch of infertile land will be included when filming a drug deal to connote the poison and toxic nature of the criminal act taking place. The high brush allows for the actors to hide, creating a sense of mystery and unnerving tension. This scene will involve panning at an eye level to follow the protagonist walking down.
- 2. 2 Potential Hazards/Risks Location specific - Why? There are only have a few potential hazards in Asthead Village which are entirely environmetnally based; there is a risk of recording people without their consent and there is the danger of the oncoming cars on the road. As for filming in The female protagonist will continue walking down the right hand of the street; from this point onwards she will observe an argumentative couple walking out of a shop in front of her; themes such as jealousy and family or friend relationships will be evident here. Here an OSS will take place to imply conflict, followed by a medium close up of the woman walking away. As she passes by the couple, her eyes will match with an anonymous man and she will turn into the alley in the corner. The antagonist represents themes of violence, conflict and crime. The camera will focus on his eyes in an extreme close up shot, which will switch between an OSS. The camera must track the man’s movements as he confronts the woman. Turning into the alleyway, there will be another man or two standing on the left, with a beer bottle in hand. Again, the theme of drugs is evident, however it is more alcohol based. This may be interpreted by the audience however they may want. At the end of the alley she will be caught by the murderer, which by then the trailer will blank. A high angle shot will represent the low status of the men, whilst a tracking shot demonstrates their fixation on the girl.
- 3. 3 How will this be resolved? public, a permit to film in public places isn’t needed in terms of the law, however, we sent a letter to the Council asking for permission to film. To deal with the traffic on the road, our team members will have to be extremely cautious when filming to make sure that no accidents will happen. Screenshot of the letter below.
