Locations












These locations seem best for our film as they each have things that can reinforce our genre and theme of the film, the characters in our film are supposed to be connected by music and so the use of a music room fits perfectly, the other parts of the film are set in a school to remind audiences of Ali and Kirsty's age and reinforce the theme of YOUTH culture. the clean look of the music room gives the audience an impression that music is Ali's way of getting away from his gang life.

Synopsis

SYNC. (Film title) Ceaser and Florence two teenagers from two completely different backgrounds, share the same passion for music. A cross between 'Kidulthood' and 'Brown Sugar'. Both of them find themselves facing their inner demons and struggle to battle against them.

Ceasar and Florence meet more and more to make music together but find themselves drifting towards being more than friends. They confide in each other sharing their problems and work together to overcome them. Problems arise and test their bond but they discover their shared passion for music and feelings towards each other are their only way out and nothing will make them go back to their old ways

Camera Techniques



As I am not very experienced in recording, i thought it would be best to research camera techniques and how to avoid our film looking too amateur. the video above was of great help, especially with the two handed recording technique as this would be very useful in shots where a monopod or tripod would not fit. I plan to put what i learned from this video to good use. With a new variety of techniques available, there will be more shots available for us to use.
