RUN: Never Enough Time- Venue List

For our trailer we recorded in the following places.

Maghull Central Square

Subway (maghull)

We are going to use the underpass subway in Maghull as we feel that this location will be fitting into the scene of where the main charcter drops the spray cans. It is also used in one of the running scenes, showing how it is a normal setting or low status.

Hudson Park alleyway (Maghull)

We are going to use the side of hudson park to film the fight scene in which the two main charcters get involved in a 'scuffle'. We feel this is a good location to use as it seems that they are hiding away from someone, in an empty, dirty place.

Carpark Maghull Central Square

We are going to use the carpark in Maghull, for the drive by scene in which on of the main characters gets shot. We feel this is a suitable location as it is out in the open, making the shooting unexpected, and had enough space for the car to escape.

Renshaw Street Liverpool/ Quiggins

This is where one of the main scenes happens in the film which is the drug deal. This changes the concept of the film from graffiti to the dark side of which drugs are involved. We used this location as when we are going to film it, it is going to be dark and we used the busy scenery to get a genuine effect. Here we also filmed inside the store Quiggins. We got permission to film as long as we were very quick. There will be alot of graffiti to film as we have checked it out before hand.

Red Lion Bridge (Maghull)

The Red Lion bridge is where the walking scene of the two main charcters are introduced together. We have chosen this location becuase the persepctive of the camera angle that we are going to use will add the effect of them being of close friendship.

Ballswood Bridge (Maghull)

We are going to use ballswood bridge in Maghull as we feel it will add a grungy effect to the scene. We already know that there is some graffiti under the motorway bridge from visiting the locations before filming.

Run: Never Enough Time- Props for Filming

We used a number of props in our film, to add a specific effect to the scene. Here are the main props:

Spray can & Deodrant can:

We will use this in a number of scenes. In total we will use 2 empty cans. For the spraying scenes, we will use a deodrant can, to give the effect that he was actually vandilising a wall. When in fact, there will be no premanent graffiti made. To make sure that the audience were fooled, we will add the scene where the spray cans can be seen. The two actual cans that we will use are when he drops them in subway, giving the sound and visual effect of a change in the story.

Gun (Fake):

For the effect of a real gun, we will use a Playstation 2 light gun. We felt that this gun looked very realistic. This is used on the gun scene, when one of the main charcters gets shot. When we first come to the gun, we had to cut the wire off it, so that it was not clear to be a playstation gun. We will also very careful to warn pedestrians that it is only a dummy prop.

Car:

In the drive by scene, we acquired a motor vehicle to give the effect that the audience could not find out who the shooting was done by. The driver in the car has a full licence and was done with the permission from the Maghull council to use the car park, as long as we were not long and loud. As the car pulls away, the car wheels spin quickly to give the effect of a quick getaway. This will be done with care.

Camera Flash:

The camera flash will only be used once in the drive by scene to give the effect of the firing made by the gun. This will be taken inside the motor vehicle as the gun was used. We feel that this prop will be very effective, as the scene will be taken in the dark which will let is stand out with the post production, adding the sound of the gun.

Flour:

We will use flour for the drug scene. This is made by wrapping the flour up in cellotape to give the effect of the drug cocaine. Although this won't be seen very much in the scene, we still felt that it was very easy to make and should be used.

Cigarette:

A cigarette will be used in one of the scenes, as it will introduce one of the main charcters. In this scene the cahracter will be seen blowing smoke into the camera. We have decided to use this prop as it gives the gang effect of smoking and drugs to the film.

Below is a montage of the props we are going to use in our trailer

Music for Coursework Trailer: RUN

For the backing track to our trailer we are going to use Survival of The Fittest (instrumental) by Mobb Deep (shown below). The reason behind using this is because it fits nicely with the the dark grimey feel of the film, it also matches with the element of Hip Hop in our film trailer. Another key reason behind the choice of this song is because it is relativly quiet, this allows voice overs to be used without there being an annoying interference between the voice over and backing track and will hopefully end with a final product with a professional feel to it.

Synopsis of Our Coursework Film: RUN

RUN: There Is Never Enough Time

Genre: Action, Drama

Vincent "vinnie" Fitzpatrick aka Dephect is a graffiti artist in Liverpool, he is a part of a gang of fellow graffiti artists called "N3T", they become dominant (graffiti kings) in the underground graffiti world within Liverpool. When the intentions of the gang turn away from the art and towards money, drugs and violent crime, Vincent decides that he doesn't want to be part of the gang anymore (the determining factor for him wanting to run away is during an incident with a rival gang which leaves him seriously injured and his brother dead), however his fellow gang members aren't as enthusiastic for the idea and go after him to show him leaving the gang isn't as easy as simply running away. He remains in the graffiti culture alone and forever running.

We believe that this is a perfect synopsis for an Action Drama film. It has a consistancy of Action: the graffiti, the crime etc and Drama: The death of Vincents brother and the fall of realtionships between the gang/ crew.

Trailer For Every Oscar-Winning Movie Ever

Above is a mock of trailers for every Oscar winning movie presented by cracked.com. Although this is a mock making fun of film trailers, the dialogue and clips can give me a good insight into the order of the clips I am going to use in my coursework film trailer, and what audio should be used in my trailer. The simplicity of the video may come in useful later in my coursework project and make the process of editing easier, however I will still have to make it specific to the chosen genre of my trailer.
