The brief I was given:
My brief stated that, Film 4 had commissioned me to make, I was to make a new British Social Realist film aimed at British 16-24 year olds. To give Film 4 an idea of how the film would develop, the brief stated that i was to produce the first two minutes of the film, including a clear sense of the graphical, editing and musical style the film will use. The film must conform to the CONVENTIONS OF THE BRITISH SOCIAL REALISM GENRE and meet audience expectations of the genre. The films visual and audio material must be entirely original (except stock sound effects), to keep cost low.
Title and summary of the opening sequence for my film:
Title: 'Heart Of The Left'
I choose this title for my film as I felt that it connoted the passion the main character has for standing up for what he believes in and as the film is about left wing politics and human rights I felt that it worked well.
Summary of the opening sequence:
The opening sequence of my film is split into two different sections/scenes. The first section, which includes a news report and handheld footage from student protests, is about how the protests are getting out of control. The second scene is where the audience gets introduced to the main character as we see her getting ready for a student protest. There is a more detailed description of what happens in my opening sequence in my TREATMENT.
How my film explores themes of British Social Realism:
From the research I found when looking into THEMES OF BRITISH SOCIAL REALISM, it is clear that my film centres around the theme of British politics. This is clear as many of the shots used in my opening sequence are of close-ups of posters protesting against cuts the government have put in place and strong views against the government. For example:
Although not specifically, it could be said that my film is similar to how the Film 4 film HUNGER explores the theme of British politics, as both films explore people's journey to try and change the government.
