Production Log - Week 3

This week we went out and researched about the commissioner Film Four is that they product films for their parent company called channel 4, and what I also learnt is that that Film four distributes the films that film four productions make and channel 4 exhibits the films on tv to show to people. We learnt also how channel four owns a large amount of the stock of Film Four and they help to invest a lot to their films and they help market them. This will impact our production of our film by us keeping the same themes and feel of Film Fours films that are made for BSR which have very dark and gritty themes. It will also impact our production by us staying with in the Uk and filming in run down areas that fit the genre and themes of BSR films.

What we have learnt about sound in BSR films is that there is a lot of silence within the film and there's usually a lot of diegetic dialogue happening within the film and the world of the diagesis.The sounds are also very depressing and not very upbeat and happy. This will impact our production because I will incorporate this into my own work for instance I will add very realistic and depressing sounds to make the film feel very true to people living this style of life, I will also make it to give and accurate depict of their life too. I will use music that will represent this genre and style of BSR films and it will hopefully be used for the majority of our opening sequence.

I will use silence just like how Film Four has used it to give the sense of powerful emotion and give a sense of realism too as you wouldn't hear music playing in the same situation in real life. The silence of a BSR film also gives more character development to the characters as it focus on there facial expressions and their emotions and it also eventually leads to them talking making the audience focusing on their dialogue conveying a more powerful scene for them to watch.
