You know how we have the jump cuts to othere scenes (like the underpass with the flickers of the fight), we could use that it with the part where Dianne has the DVD in the hand, but add flickers of lexi writing LEXI on the piece of paper and the camera picture taking bits (the camera could be some old style modern camera XD)...? I like the idea but I'm not sure- does it give away too much...?
And in the voice over can the narrator explain who he thought the suspects were like say "I rememer thinking it could have been the police but i cant rember why"...but the scene where the police beating them up is playing at the same time?
..oooh when he methions people he could say the opposite, like when Lexi seduced him he could be like "yeah a nice proper lady"
But in a serious tone...british dry humor and sarcasim (is that spelt right) to add to the richness of british films! Thats usually what british films do best right...?
Sorry about my wafflin and not making sense, I was coming up with things as I was writing them.

Bianca's Weekly Review- 22nd to 26th
WWW
We have captured almost everything- just 1 or 2 of the toilet scenes left
We have begun to think about enhanced sound effects in the trailer and listed them
We have someone to do our voice over, and have begun to think about it in more depth
We have refined 30 seconds of our trailer...so far
We refilmed the scenes in the toilet
EBI
We didn't film the money counting scenes
I havent looked at voice overs in trailers yet
It would be better if we did equal amounts of editing- we can edit invividually, in two's or in three's.
Plans for next week:
Group
Refilm slick's phone call as we were unhappy with it
Film the money counting scenes withe the gang leader
Record any possible sounds from the sound list poted earlier this week
Review our current logo and improve it
Create a logo for prime time productions
And one for An AB Film, AB Films, AB Film Company, AB British Institute ABig Film (haha)
.....? we can't have two producion companies can we...?
Individual
Research typography and voice overs in trailers

1. We re-filmed the toilet scenes
2. We captured most of our footage
3. We started editing and are proud with what we have so far
4. We found someone to do our voice-over for us
EBI
1. We need to be able to work independently - if we agree to edit but certain group members don't turn up, it doesn't mean that we cancel and no one edits at all
2. We have to make sure we all do an equal amount of editing and all have a say in what happens
Next Steps
1. We have to re-film Slick answering the phone
2. We still have to film the gang leader counting money
3. We have to think of a Prime Time Productions logo

Editing
We have to decide what days we are going to edit. We have to make sure that we turn up and don't waste time when we should be editing. We have to be fair with the editing and all do an equal amount because some people filmed more than others and that can't happen with the editing as well. Think of what day of the week you want off so we know when we are editing.

Possible Title Logo
Again, I was watching KILL BILL VOL.2 and I really liked the credits at the beginning, so I did a similar one for our title and it looks like this...
It's a bit plain and was thinking we could do something like almost characterise one of the letters or something? Or have like a big red lips lipstick mark on it or something? Just to modernise it?

Possible trailer music
I liked the music in the Brick trailer, so started looking for the soundtrack for the film and found two videos on Youtube. Some of them might be useful for if we decide our trailer is going to be more serious than comic. And plus it could be an intertexual reference to modern film noir film.
And when I was watching SAW III i though the theme tune-Hello Zepp- could work in our montage part of the trailer...the lively part for if we wanted a more serious trailer.

Brick Trailer Analysis
I have chosen to look at this trailer because it has many links to our film idea, making it our competitor. Firstly it is a modern film with film noir conventions eg lighting. Secondly, it has the same genre as ours, which is Crime/Detective. Thirdly the characters are of a similar age to our characters, which are teens.
"Brick", released in 2006, is an American film distributed by Focus Features, an art house sector of Universal Pictures. Focus Features' most famous success was Brokeback Mountain.
The very first scene and throughout the trailer uses low key lighting, which is a convention of film noir. This lighting could signify an unknown location which could foreshadow the disappearance of a character. In the mise en scene, the setting is on a dark street which signifies a gritty and dark atmosphere to the film. The setting combined with the lighting creates enigma posing question such as who is there? Why are they at a telephone box? At the same time it also raises expectations for the narrative. The telephone box is a prop that is positioned to the side of the frame. This could also signify the character is hidden, and out of the ways, again signify a lost character.
Another element we would like to use is sound bridging. In this trailer it sets the storyline in motion and creates enigma: they have planned what to do but will they suceed? The genre is film noir and this is shown though the use of conventions. Near the beginning of the trailer there binary opposition of a low angle shot next to a high angle shot. The character in the low angle shot signifies a protagonist and a Proppian hero. The high angle shot of the other character signifies less powerful character. The two shots together are sutured to signify a Proppian hero and helper. Dramatic angles and variations of shots are conventions of film noir used in the trailer.
Though conventions of film noir are used, some are challenged. For example the female character isn’t the usual femme fatale character that is seductive and dominant, instead they have challenged the stereotype and the female character is the Proppian princess, who needs to be rescued. The producer might have decided to challenge this convention because in today’s society, films where female’s stereotypes are reinforced, represent them as the Proppian princess- who needs saving.
Also the teen characters are represented as stereotypical nerd teens through the use of props such as the geeky glasses and the Rubix cube being completed in a fast speed. With this stereotype it helps the audience understand other things such the school setting- the library- in the mise en scene. The library setting also connotes a detective genre of film.
This film would appeal to an explorer psychographic because it combines film noir conventions with modern elements. For example the character that was playing with the Rubix cube also had a black briefcase beside him. The briefcase is a film noir props and it connotes secrecy and detective mystery along with its colour-black. This is out of place with the mise en scene- this is called anachronistic- when an object is out of place or time period. This is useful because we could use it in our trailer to signify the binary opposition of 1940’s meets 21st century.
The trailer would appeal to 16-25 primary audience and therefore a C1, D and E demographic. This is signified though the characters that are of a similar age, and the topics/themes that relate to society and ideologies. For example, the title of the film “Brick” denotes a block of concrete used for building. However it connotes slang for heroine which teens would recognise, understand and possibly identify with.
This trailer has progressive ideologies because it makes the audience aware of dugs, violence, gangs and missing people in society. This might be because of sensationalist stories in the media about teens and these issues. This might have created a moral panic amongst society and this film may have aided in making teenagers aware of it.
It could be suggested that the oppositional reading of the trailer is that teenagers are up to no good, getting involved in gangs and drugs. This could be because ruling classes are representing teens in a negative way, keeping their position low n society. Therefore it could be argued the hegemony ideology exist, though the use of this film and trailer.
In conclusion, this trailer is a very good starting point for exploring ideas for our trailer, because it cleverly challenges and reinforces many conventions, to create a modern film noir, which appeals to a teen audience.

Voice-overs in Film Noir
Voice over’s and flashbacks were persistent stylistic and narrative elements of Film Noir. It carefully clues the spectator to who is speaking, when, and from where, other films use voice-over and flashback temporarily more ambiguously. Often we need to inquire about the motives of narrative voices, how much they know and whether they are telling the truth, when and to whom they are speaking. Film Noir seems to emphasize narrative gaps, and even the possibility of narratives that can deceive. Invisible Storytellers, a study of voice–over narration by Sarah Kozloff, shows that its occurrence in Hollywood films is closely linked to the rise and decline of the Film Noir movement.

Footage Feedback- The Night has a Thousand Lies
In our media studies lesson, we looked at each groups footage they have filmed and gave feed back. I have summed up the feedback to look at improvents and advice.
We got mostly A and B grades for the media language, conventions, creativity, attention to detail and technical proficiency.
Positive feedback on the cinematograpy:
We used very good camera movements such as the panning shot of Lexi on her mobile. We used a range of interesting angles including close ups and medium shots.
Positive feedback on the mise en scene:
Our props were very realistic and we used iconic noir film clothing for character roles which fit in well with the genre.
Positive feedback on the lighting:
Good lighting with effective shadows and a good use of low and high key lighting.
Positive feedback on the sound:
The characters have good dialogue which sounds clear.
Positive feedback on the conventions and audience needs:
We have used the femme fatale character which is a noir film convention. We also have the costumes in which some challenge and reinforce conventions. Chararcters are identifiable with target audience.
Criticism feedback on cinematography:
We could have used a tracking shots. Some of our shots could be better done and more dramatic and exciting. Used more long shots.
Criticism feedback on mise en scene:
Some props such as the mobile looked inappropriate, but more props in genral could have been added. We should be more aware of our surroundings in every shot.
Criticism feedback on lighting:
Some of our lighting should be more contrasted and done better. lighting in shots outside could be better. A range of lighting.
Criticism feedback on sound:
Too much gaps between dialogue, which made it sound artificial. The sound could have been improved by using a microphone.
Criticism feedback on the conventions and audience needs:
We should have more film noir conventions with more action codes. The scenes are a bit slow paced.
Target audience needs:
A montage sequence of actions codes. Better acting. Parallel music and tracking shots. More conventions and slang. More close up to show expressions. More sexy and erotic shots and scenes (voyerism).
Post production suggestions:
Voice overs. Jazzy tracks. Slow motion effects. Black and white edit with after effects editing. A montage sequence.

Possible updates in the trailer...
Yesterday I was thinking this...
Why don't we make the whole trailer of Roman reminicing on the past?
We could clearly show this by having the thinking shots throughout the whole trailer. And, the voice over could be from the same point in time- the present. This way we could clearly show both our trailer and the "real film" would have a non-linear narrative.

More music posibilities...?
The begining of this music COULD work but im not sure.
It might work if we decide to mae the film more serious and thriller like....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KPUkplnjXk
But half way through it sounds very "apocalyptic" if that makes sense...
And this for if we make our trailer more comical...?
I think Mark Ronson songs could work because he uses the big band instruments, but modernises them, and everyone would recongnise the beats...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPI1qxKLxfg - Oh My God by Lily Allen and Mark Ronson
I tried to look for an instrumental version, but couldn't find one.

Postmodernism
“Postmodernism is a currently popular intellectual concept. It is used as a way of grouping and describing the styles of thought and culture attracting most critical attention during the final few decades of the twentieth century. It is sometimes affectionately referred to as 'pomo' by people with beards. 'Postmodernist thought' has caused a revolution across all academic disciplines, from Physics to English via Geography. Postmodernism offers a different way of both constructing and deconstructing ideas.” Quoted from www.mediaknowall.com/alevkeyconcepts/postmod.html
From what I have understood, Post-Modernism is when a text refers to a period in the past that was popular and is easily recognised, as it gained so much attention. Modernism isn’t just the “latest” or “newest”, it also refers to a particular time period from 1870’s to 1950’s.
This links very much to our trailer idea, because we are referring to Film Noirs from the 1940’s.
Post modernism favours the Pluralism ideology that audience consume the text in various different ways, giving the text a range of readings. This means that our trailer should be interpreted in different ways.
For example, the femme fatale character could be represented in different ways. Her dominant personality and power to do as she pleases could be seen as a positive thing, and would be praised in a femenists view. On the other hand, she is seen as promiscuous and a sexual object which represents women in a degrading way.

Check this out, we could use this in our trailer for some parts to raise suspense.

Possible Titles
The Postman Always Rings Twice - The Seductress Never Stops Calling
Tomorrow Is Forever - Her Tomorrow Is Your Ending
Born to Kill - Guilty Pleasures
The Strange Love of Martha Ivers - The Strange Remedy of Alexandria
Johnny O'Clock - Don O' Van
Lady in the Lake - Lady in ..... (her chosen colour)
The Killer That Stalked New York - The Villain That Stalked Their Hearts
I thought I would add to the ones at the end.
Out of the 3 chosen I would between 'Night Has a Thousand Lies' and ' Nobody Lies Forever'. The other one doesn't seem to catch my attention. These two titles leave a certain enigma amongst themselves.
Posted by BILAAL MUGHAL
Possible Titles
We (without Bilaal) were thinking of possible titles for our production. We thought that it might be a good idea to have inter-textual references with a classic film noir, so we looked at some titles that we could adapt and manipulate and even pun-ulate.
These our some possibilities that we came up with:
I Wake Up Screaming – I Wake Up Jailed, I Wake Up Guilty,
Journey into Fear – Journey into Guilt, Journey into Lust
The Woman in the Window – The Woman who looked Sexy, The Woman who looked Lexi
Some Like It Hot – Some like it Rough
To Have and Have Not – To Steal and Steal Not, To Lie and Lie Not, To Cheat and Cheat Not
The Dark Mirror – The Dark Truth
Nobody Lives Forever – Nobody Lies Forever
The Devil Thumbs a Ride – The Devil Hooks a Fish
Ride the Pink Horse – Ride the Lexi Wagon
Night Has a Thousand Eyes – Night Has a Thousand Lies
Beyond the Forest – Beyond the Office
The Killer Is Loose – Lexi is Loose
Touch of Evil – Touch of L
The Postman Always Rings Twice
The Strange Love of Martha Ivers
The Killer That Stalked New York
We didn't get these from inter-textual references, but we like them:
Call me Guilty
