From the preliminary task to the full movie, the filmmakers learned: 1) Costumes are important to establish characters and genre. They progressed from no costumes to using tracksuits and hoodies to represent teenage characters in an urban crime genre. 2) Location is significant for context. They chose a prison gate to indicate a character's release and recorded a nighttime arrest for more dramatic effect. 3) Establishing shots set the scene for audiences. They improved on this by using wide shots in the full movie. 4) Music and camera work can enhance mood. Shaky handheld camera captured more tension and sad music expressed character feelings.

the progression from it to the full
product?

2. Costumes
In the preliminary task we barely used any costumes but on the main movie we
started to decide what everyone will be wearing to present ourselves as young typical
youths. We used tracksuit to signify the character as a young thug and the main boss
was wearing a suit to show he has more power in the movie. we used tracksuits and
hoodies to represent how teens dress up these days. This shows the audience that it’s
a urban genre.
In the preliminary not all of us was in costume as
you can see here I'm wearing my normal clothes
so in the preliminary we decided were all going to
need to decide what to wear to present ourselves
as teenagers from east London.
Here you see I'm wearing tracksuits and a
hoody, so from the preliminary we have learnt
that costumes have an big effect on the
audience as it will present how the character
might be and what the genre may be.

3. Location
• In the preliminary task we recorded the movie in the school, not really
thinking about where to record it but during the main movie we decided
to choose a prison gate for our scene because it signifies that the
character is coming out prison. Also we recorded the scene where the
character gets arrested in the dark because most crime happens during
the night which signifies more chaos.
The denotation of this scene is that there is a
prison gate and the character is walking out.
This connotes that the character is getting
released from prison. This could set the genre
of the movie as crime as he comes out of
prison.

4. Establishing shots
• In the preliminary task we didn't use establishing
shots but in the main movie opening we used
extreme long establishing shots to set the scene for
the audience so they know where the scene is taking
place. Our tripod was a bit weak which made it
harder to keep it steady as we was panning and
tracking.

5. Sound
• In the main movie we have used a slow and
sad music. We used it as it gave an effect of
something sad was happening. Therefore the
music sets the mood of the character which
helps express the characters feelings. This has
helped progressed our movie opening as the
audience will feel that

6. Camera angles
• We handheld recorded the police scene as the
shaky camera effect makes it more chaotic
and aggressive. In the preliminary we didn’t
use this as we just used simple camera shots
such as close up and long shots.
