Production Log Week 7


This week were researched many things that would help develop our idea of our film but we have encountered many issues that have hindered our progression of our film in many ways that we eventually got around improvising or finding a solution. We had to link the current media to our idea of slavery and one of the only ways we could somehow make them relate is through Brexit, for instance we did this by looking at modern slavery in the Uk and linked it to Brexit by our story mentioning how slaver has increased of Brexit because of the extreme uproar of racism from the vote and this has gone to a horrific rate. This is one reason why our slave owners abuse Jummani because of his rate and how easy he is to take advantage of and abuse his traits. The real issue was how to put it together which took time and thought to develop our idea into a more solid definition and this took trail and error of attempts of making a story more relatable to audience because of the current trend in the media

 

The decisions we took were for the better as we originally wanted to involve trump to the media to help kick start this racism trend in our film but since it’s the US election it didn’t really work and we really couldn’t find a way to incorporate this into our opening sequence which is why Brexit was the better option to choose as it was more relatable to our story and characters and would have a major impact to the country while the US election would have a direct impact to the people in the UK. Another idea that we explored and decided to follow through with is mental illness and how it becomes an actual problem and you’ll see how it is a problem in our opening sequence as the slave owners appear to be deranged and emotionless towards Jummani an have no respect to him what’s so ever.
