progress report 

All pre-production work, including script, storyboard, shot-list and mise-en-scene are up to date. we have finished the intro scene and picked the best shot that we feel was suitable for our production.

the storyboard may differ to the shot list due to the fact that the images on the storyboard may be different due to what the other person envisioned so it may have slight changes but i feel as if it would will still be produced the same.  

Plan to finish shooting scene of the movie. if there are problems with the storyboard and shot list we can change and alter the two documents.

I'm not sure yet but I believe and hoping it'll be done by the 8/02/16 or the latest 20th February.

La Haine

La Haine is a 1995 French high contrast dramatization film composed, directed, and coordinated by Mathieu Kassovitz. It is regularly discharged under its French title, despite the fact that its U.S. VHS discharge was entitled Hate. It is around three youthful companions and their battle to live in the banlieues of Paris. The title gets from a line talked by one of them, Hubert: "La haine clothing la haine

The mise-en-scene of this film is key in making the sad environment of the film. Case in point through the use of good range a urban, ghetto suburb can be shown to the social event of individuals The attire that the characters wear i.e. hoodies/calfskin coats, this can be associated back to the issue of police violance and how adolescents have been ambushed by the police in light of this.

The cinematography and the changing of the film is crucial in making La Haine a popular arthouse film. The utilization of cinematography gives the film an old look,  however this furthermore highlights its feeling of authenticity. I have also seen with the cinematography that the camera improvement is altogether smooth which recommends that a great deal of steadicam which keeps the camera steady. An impressive measure of long shots have been utilized as a piece of spot of the regular medium shots which allows the group to see from a more broad perspective moving that is taking place

location

park royal tunnel- why we chose this as our original setting is because of the dark setting we can implicate by generate with each of our shots. this will truly clarify our camera work. this will be our secondary location as it cannot signify the importance of our primary location.

another location we chose to shoot in was grand union village, why we chose this location is because it is a convenient location to film clear shots where the set up of the area is relative to our production. grand union village also features a canal which carefully links to the plot of possesses elements of violence.
