possible destinations

a majority of our scenes are going to be played out in a school setting this is to show the age of our character and that he is still young and in school. and our last scene will be played out in a car park, we are hoping to use the car park to sheldon country park or a highg rise car park, we feel that this setting will show how the character has grown throughout the film as in the start he was in a young setting the school and at the end its a more general setting this shows that the trouble the character was getting in school has developed into outside of the school.

Core actors

Hero – To seek out revenge on those who have bullied him and his friends and he aims to put a stop to this. The hero is a very emotional character who is experiencing a roller coaster ride as he goes to a new college. He experiences and tolerates being bullied until eventually he stands his ground and makes the difference which is needed.

Villains - A group of people who get pleasure from bullying, robbing and intimidating others. The villains are a gang of people who victimise and get pleasure from seeing other people suffer.

Heroin - A goal achieved at the end of the movie the hero would have achieved freedom, friendship and peace of mind.

Mentor - A character that provides advice and support and helps the plot to further climb deeper. This is a person who is experiences the same punishment as the hero, and wants to put a stop to it.

Extra’s – The extras in the film will be mostly used as an audience which will make the film have a larger context and adds to fine detail. Extras could also be there to create a noise which can add to the effect of the genre.

The three acts

The setup- hero switched college to a new area to live there happily ever after.

The set back- hero is threatened and beaten up by bullies/villain.

The resolution- the hero realises the only way to fix the situation is to fight for his pride and for what he believes is right.

Settings and Props

In our movie we will be using a wide range of settings and props; one of the settings we are aiming to use is a car park. We believe that a car park represents urban areas and that it will set the scene and mood for the film. We want the car park as in the film the characters are going to be college students and we believe that this will make the movie more realists to viewers.

We are also hoping to use props for example, we will use make up to represent bruises which coincides with the title of the film ‘Beneath the Bruises’. As we start to film if we think that our piece would be more effective with different props we will get hold of them. We will have extras which includes people which will be there for an audience for the fight scene. Having an audience would make the fight scene have a better atmosphere. We will get cars in which will give the impression that people have come to watch the fight.  

  

A small-town boy hustling his way through the big city forms an uneasy alliance with a scam artist who inducts him into the violent world of bare-knuckle brawling in A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints writer/director Dito_Montiel's unforgiving urban action film. Arriving in New York City with little more than the shirt on his back, Shawn MacArthur (Channing_Tatum) makes ends meet by selling counterfeit goods on the street. But times are tough and money is short, and just as things are starting to look grim, Shawn crosses paths with crafty con artist Harvey Boarden (Terrence_Howard). Harvey instantly recognizes Shawn's natural talent for street fighting, and offers to help the uneasy newcomer make some quick cash on the bare-knuckle circuit. But making a living by brawling isn't easy because the system is hopelessly corrupt, and the only people who really come out on top are the rich businessmen who place wagers on the disposable fighters. Still, Harvey's instincts were right, and Shawn quickly makes a name for himself by taking down every opponent who crosses his path, including mixed martial arts champs, veteran pugilists, and ultimate fighters. As each bout becomes more intense, Shawn realizes that his only hope for escaping this dark world is to face his fiercest opponent to date. Jason Buchanan, Rovi

props

In this clip you can see a man wearing a tracksuite this could be to show that he is some sort of sportman or someone partaking in physical activiteis.

Miss-en-scene

In this picture you can see almost all the backround, the veiwere is able to see trees either side of the figure and below him the fact that you can see imagery below him shows a sign of status and that he has authority becouse he is looking down on things.

Waist shot

This type of shot is typicaly a very intimate shot. However considering the genre of film this shows a very intense shot, the scene shows that there is a battle going on and the camera makes the audience feel like there in the action as the camers is positioned behind one of the chracters in the fight.

Here you also see that the man stood oposite the character the camera is behind is in the middle of atacking and this could make the audience feel uncormatable or like there in the action.

The fact that we are looking up at the characters makes the audience feel that these two men are powerfull and fighters.
