2. Introduction to Film
• Film Name: Mute
• Genre: Social Realism/Drama
• Synopsis: A girl who’s deaf faces the struggles
to fit into society. She struggles to
communicate with the people around her,
hence her life feeling empty.
3. Development of Production- Stage
one, research
• Before starting production, I have short-listed
a few potential genres that I was going to
work on
- Horror
- Rom-Com (Romantic comedy)
- Social Realism
4. Developing on the topics
• Social realism urban setting, focuses on
issues that the society faces bullying,
violence, drug use (A-B2)
• Rom-Com typical love story between
lovers how they met the hardships they
face end up living happily ever after (C2-E)
• Horror Gore, blood, violence very sinister
atmosphere (C2-E)
5. Final Decisions
• I decided to choose social realism for my film genre
• Rom-coms and horror are to typical, I want to create
something unique, that stands out
• I wanted to focus on the growth and development of
the character
• Social realism films usually surrounds one character
• People can relate to the issues raised in film
• Focus on topics raised in modern society
represented in different ideologies can be negative
or positive
6. Final Decisions
• Even though this film is produced my me, I will state
that it is by Shane Meadows, who’s famous for
producing Social Realist Films (Dead Man’s shoes,
This is England)
• Meadows didn’t experience bullying/isolation
himself, but a friend of his did which lead into suicide
• Because of such a tragic event , I’m thinking that he
would be inspired to create a film that surrounds
isolation and bullying raises awareness of the
consequences, helping victims and people to help
the people whom are suffering from hardships
7. Final Decisions- Production
• The film I’m producing is a independent film with
a small budget
• Half or more of the funding will go to production,
ensures high and good quality filming
possibility of film festival awards
• Film will be produced by Film4 productions and
distributed(funded) by Pathe
• Distributed through digital distribution and the
web 2.0 (due to limited budget for marketing and
exhibition)
8. Final Decisions- Film Name
• I named the film Mute, and it’s very
straightforward name
• About the struggles the protagonist (Macy)
faces because of her disability
• People around her treat her as an invisible
figure because of her disability
• People just assume she’s quiet and don’t care
about her
9. Target Audience
• Class: A-C1 income bracket
• Race: Any race
• Age: 20-30
• Gender: Both female and male
• Sexuality: Any
• Innovators, Thinkers (Well educated,
sophisticated audience, hedgehog thinkers ,
own individual taste, very independent)
10. Target Audience
• Professional rewards, Suburban Mindsets,
Hardworking Families (Mosaic Audience Type)
• Trying to find more sophisticated and mature
audience, to understand the ideologies and
representations raised in the film
11.
12. Location
• As I’m a boarder in Ratcliffe College, I’m limited to
go to different locations to film my shots
• Therefore filmed most of my shots in school
• Since the film is based on a teenaged girl facing
her struggles, she spends most her time at school
• The main areas I used are the corridors around
schools and the school’s sixth form center
13. Equipment used
• Canon 6D (known for it’s full frame sensor and
1080 video quality)
• Dolly
• Tripod
• Flash
14. Music Choice
• The whole atmosphere of the film is quite sad,
and it talks about how Macy longs to talk to
others but she cannot
• The music bed I chose is a song called “Touch”
by Mattia Cupelli
• The song has a soft piano tune to it, gives out
a rather sad tone emphasizes the
hopelessness and loneliness feeling of the
protagonist
15. Actress Chosen
• Christy Yeung
• Chinese (Hong Kong)
• Age: 16
• Has prior acting experience, studies drama in
GCSE and A-levels
• Not sticking to conventions (traditional ideologies
of having the perfect body or beautiful face)
• Rarely see ethnical minorities in film productions,
predominantly Caucasian
16. Costumes Chosen
• Grey Hoodie, Blue Track Pants, Grey Sneakers
• The choice of clothes are rather baggy, shows that she
is insecure of her own skin and body
• The grey hoodie connotes her detachment towards her
surroundings due to her disability
• The color also connotes the quiet and dependable
nature of the protagonist
• Grey is between white and black, it’s not luminous or
does it attract attention nobody cares about her or
knows that she is there
17. Learning about Sign Language..
• Sign language does play a huge role in the film, as
the only way how Macy communicates with
others is through sign language
• I had to learn BSL (British sign language) through
youtube videos
• It was quite hard memorizing them, so I drew
pictures of them.
• I had to teach my actress how to say the phrase
(Hello, my name is Macy, nice to meet you)
18.
19. Production Process
• Filmed in few days, tight schedule
• It was raining and really cold
• Filmed during school days, (lunch and after
school most crowded)
• Lots of students waving and making silly faces
during time lapse filming inevitable
• I had problems with the Dolly that was used to
track the Protagonist when she was walking
20. Production Process
• Planning on filming exterior shots, roads to
bumpy for the dolly to move smoothly
• Not enough lighting, can’t see face of the
protagonist clear enough
• Raining as well…gear might get wet…
24. Print Productions
• Regional Magazine
• Leicester Lookbook
• To promote that Leicester City Centre isn’t a
boring and old-fashioned region, there are
loads to do there
• Cover Page, Double Page Spread, Contents
Page and Billboard Advertisement
