Production Log 6
One of the main issues me and Chanel had this week was coming up with a new title. We decided our old title 'washing machine' wasn't very good and needed to be changed. At first we thought it would be good as our film is based in a laundry factory, so washing machine went well with this. But then we realised there wasn't any meaning behind the title so we changed it to something more meaningful. We wrote down a few words relating to the film and put thought in to it to come up with our new title. Another issue this week is what font we was going to use for our credits and how we was going to show them in the opening sequence. The font had to look good for our film and sort of show what its about and the graphics had to be in the right places on the frame so they dont stand out too much but so the audience can see them.
The new title we came up with was 'Drained'. We feel this title relates more to the film and creates more of an enigma than washing machine, and it sounds better for our film. The character in our film works hard and doesn't live a very good lifestyle, so she would feel drained, so this is where our title relates. With the credits, we decided to get our font from the website 'dafont'. They have really good fonts that would be good for our film. We went with a bold font that stands out so the audience can clearly see it. We used the software LiveType to add some effects to the credits, but the effects are only fade in or fade out , and slight movements because more lively affects wouldn't relate to the conventions of BSR films, so we had to keep it plain and simple. As we hadn't filmed any shots yet, we couldn't really tell were the credits were going to be placed on the frame, so to save time in the future we made all the graphics and added the animations, so all we had to do once we edited all of the film was to move the position of the credits. The only credit we knew the position of was the title, because this had be planned out already to go over a graphic match of a clock and a washing machine between the two locations of Adriana's house and the laundry factory.

Production log 5
The key issues of pre production this week, have been making sure that our idea is perfect for our audience and so it appeals to them. We used our primary research, and started making the treatment and narrative to our film. We had many things to think about like what the characters will be like, who is going to be who, where could we film that is different from other people, and what would make this film realistic. Another key issue, is that we were coming close to the deadline for pre production to be fully completed, and we got set to do the script and production schedule, so we had to try and plan time where i could meet up with my partner to plan these things and get the work done for Tuesday.
In the end, me and Chanel decided to do a rough bullet point of what will be in the script with small details so we could get it done quickly, then i could go home and write it all up in the script. We also spoke about what locations we were going to use, then Chanel could go home at do the blog post on our locations. This was easier for us as we were both busy and couldn't stay with each other for long, so doing this helped us get all the work done for the deadline that was set. We came up with an idea that portrays some different themes that a lot of BSR films do not show, which was the idea of immigration workers. We decided to go with this as our main theme because we though it was more original compared to other peoples ideas that were more based on films like Kidulthood and Adulthood and we thought that the audience has seen to many films like this, which is why we went with a theme less portrayed. So this theme is who our main character is based on then we came up with the rest of the story from there, which can be read in the 'Narrative' and 'Treatment' blogpost.
Location Reccies
Our first location will be two rooms in a house, the bedroom and bathroom. The house will be, very scruffy and dirty looking, as it will be Adriana's home, however to the audience it will look like she lives in just one room which shows she is very poor. We will be using this location instead of somewhere else, as it has more of the conventions that we need, like the mise-en-scene with the bed. We will be able to keep the rooms the same, but may have to make it a bit more messy so that it looks more like a house in a BSR film. The natural lighting in the room is good as it looks quite dull with the curtains closed so this goes with the normal conventions of BSR films. This location would also be better than other locations as it is local to us, and we have easy access.
Our second location will be the laundrey factory. It will alternate between the laundry factory and back to what Adriana's doing, before she gets in to work. This location will be better than any other location, as it fits perfectly into our storyline, as it is about immigration and exploited workers, so using a factory relates to these themes. The factory also looks very scruffy, as it is quite old, so the mise-en-scene, relates to the normal conventions of a BSR. This location is also very unique, as it was very hard for us to find, and to film in here, as it is always in use, so we had to find ways to work around this.
Or final location, will be the roads that Adriana is walking on her way to work, which will be around Chadwell Heath. This will be a good location for us as it is local, and it is a multi cultural area, which relates to some of the concepts of the film. It is a good location as the streets look rough, and the roads are busy, with buses and loads of people.
This is the roughly the area we will be shooting in as it has a few dirty looking buildings, lots of graffiti and its also very busy with bustops and many cars which is what we need in our story.
Our second location will be the laundrey factory. It will alternate between the laundry factory and back to what Adriana's doing, before she gets in to work. This location will be better than any other location, as it fits perfectly into our storyline, as it is about immigration and exploited workers, so using a factory relates to these themes. The factory also looks very scruffy, as it is quite old, so the mise-en-scene, relates to the normal conventions of a BSR.

Treatment
Title: "Washing Machine" ia going to be the title of our film. The reason for this is because the film is mainly going to be set in a laundrette factory. This is where the main characters work. The main meaning of this is because, the main character Adriana's life, seems to be just spinning round and round, like a washing machine. All washing machines come to a stop, and that is what ends up happening to her as the ending of the film, is basically her escaping from what happens during the film.
Target Audience: Our target audience is for 16-24 year olds. It is aimed at people living in Britain who are working class, and particularly foreign people living in Britain as our idea is based on a foreign person. They would be interested in themes like violence and sex when watching these films as seen from the Audience research post, and would watch channels like channel 4, E4, ITV etc. I think our target audience would appeal to our idea as it portrays real life situations in today's society, and portrays themes that are not seen a lot in BSR films which makes it more appealing, and would relate to people. From the blog post Audience Research people said that films they can relate to, (like kidulthood as they are the same age) are more interesting and appealing to watch, so our idea would relate in many ways so they would be draw to watch it. The narrative i think is quite original as well, so it would be unique and something they haven't really seen this in the BSR genre which makes our idea more appealing to the audience as well.
Technology: For the technology, we will use a HD camera, and an iMac with iMovie on to edit the film. This technology will be good as it will help give the natural believable affect. We don't need to use lights as we want it to look real and if we add lights it won't. We won't need the use of a tripod that much, as handheld camerawork is much more realistic.
Representation: The protagonist in our film is a 19 year old immigrant from Albania. Her name is Adriana and she comes to England for a better life. Her life in Albania affected her deeply as she lived in poor conditions and her mum was a prostitute to feed her and her other siblings. She is uneducated and had no money so was unable to come in to the country legally. The antagonist is Adriana's boss, named Steve. He runs a laundry factory, but also does other illegal jobs inside the factory, such as hiring illegal workers and exploiting them by paying much less than normal wage. He is very abusive and does not respect the needs and wants of his workers. He takes them for granted to feed his own personal needs. The protagonist does follow the stereotype of an immigrant, as she has no money and came to get a better life, which is why nearly all immigrants come to Britain. However her stereotype of being a teenager in Britain does subvert from the normal British teenager stereotype because she isn't from Britain so has a different culture. The antagonist challenges the normal stereotype of middle class people in Britain. Because he runs the launderette but he is very violent, with no respect for other people. This challenges the typical representation of middle class people as they are usually seen as decent people, with nice families etc.
Narrative: Our film is about a young foreign lady, who is 19 . She comes to Britain illegally to find some work and try to full fill her dreams. She finds a job in a laundry factory to get money so she can rent out a small place in a council estate and send money home to her family. So far she thinks everything is going to be alright, until she finds out her boss abuses the workers, and the factory isn't all that it turned out to be. She trys to find a way to get out of this mess, but cant. She doesn't know what to do as she doesn't know anything about Britain. Nothing is going to plan.
In the opening sequence of the film, there will be many shots being taken around a laundry, whilst switching to shots of the protagonist. The protagonist is getting ready for her first day at work, she is happy and excited and cant wait to get there. There will be a shot of her running for a bus. When it is alternating shots between the character and laundry, a scene of her boss abusing another worker though a window will be shown to introduce abit of the story line and create abit of an enigma. Shots of the character walking to work will also be shown, this will give an introduction to the locations of where the character lives. The opening sequence will end with the character arriving at work.
We will use the conventions of an opening sequence of BSR films by trying to create enigma, so the audience gets interested into watching the film and so they want to find out what happens next. Also, the opening sequence will introduce the characters and locations, and get the storyline flowing. We will try to create a sense of mystery to get the audience thinking. This relates to BSR opening sequences because this is what they try to achieve.
Conventions: The way we will use the conventions of a BSR. We will conform to these by making the scenes and editing look rough, so it gives the dull BSR effect and makes it seem more realistic. We will also use the smash mouth approach, but subvert from the normal approach as it wont jump straight into hectic action, however it will be very fast pace as Adriana is late for work so she is rushing. In our opening sequence we will conform to the sort of locations seen in BSR films, which are very poor looking areas that aren't well looked after. Sticking to this convention adds to the realism and makes it fit into the genre, as if we done nice looking areas it wouldn't relate to these types of films as they are meant to show hardship of life, and poverty. Also we will stick to some of the themes like violence, as Steve is the violent character in the film and hits his employees, however we are going to add some themes that aren't really seen in many BSR films, like immigration because we want our idea to be a bit more unique than other work.
Style and Iconography: When filming we will use a lot of handheld camerawork, so that the audience can a sense of the atmosphere and it will make it seem like they are involved in the scene. This use of camera work makes the audience relate more as it adds the effect as if they are watching it first hand. When editing our film, we will take the saturation down on all the shots. Doing this makes the scenes look more dull and less colourful, which sets a sad and dull mood. It also portrays to the audience how the characters are feeling and that their lives are dull and boring. When editing we are going to shot from scene to scene so that it more rapid and gives the audience a sense of knowledge that the character does not have, like when she will be walking to her work, then it shots to the workplace of her boss being violent which makes the audience know more about whats going on, and also creates enigma and gets the audience thinking more and more involved in the film. With costume and props, we are going to make Adriana dress in cheap, tacky clothing to emphasis to the audience that she is in poverty and has no money to buy nice clothes. With her boss, he will wear a suit as he is the owner of the factory, so it shows the audience the separation of class and tells them he is not like the others. Using these costumes it portrays to the audience more about the character straight away as they start to stereotype them by what they are wearing. Will we use props like cigarette to show the audience that Adriana goes through a lot of stress and smokes to try and make herself feel more secure, so it again portrays more about the character and their lifestyle that they live in.
Institution: One of the production companies we are using is film 4, as they make many BSR films. This will have an impact on the type of film, because they are well known for making this genre of films, so the audience will know what to expect from their reputation. This impacts on the type of film we will make as we have to make it relate to what they have made before in the sense of conventions. This would affect the distribution of the film, as it is an independent film company, so they wont have a lot of money to distribute to many cinemas. For example in their other films like four lions, they didn't show it at many cinemas because they didn't have the budget, and also BSR films take big risks by showing the themes like violence and petty crime etc as it isn't very nice to see so the films could be a major flop. Four lions didn't become very popular and didn't make a lot of money for these reasons. Our film would be exhibited on channel 4, as we were in associations with them, and also by using new media technology like 4OD as it is cheap and many people could watch the film this way in their own homes or on the go. it will also be exhibited in independent cinemas, because independent cinemas aim towards people who like to watch these genres of films, so the film would get watched more if we was to exhibit there. We probably wouldn't go into home release as the film wouldn't have a lot of money and this would cost a lot.

Narrative
Exposition - Protagonist
We are introduced to the protagonist who is a young immigrant girl, Adriana, from Albania and is 19 years old. She comes to the country to try and make a better life for herself and her family back home. Her life in Albania affected her deeply as she lived in poor conditions and her mum was a prostitute to feed her and her other siblings. She managed to find someone who could get her to Britain and a job, but this person ended up being her bosses colleague. She is uneducated and had no money so was unable to come in to the country legally.
Agents of Change - Antagonist
The antagonist is the girls boss's son, named Steve. Hes dad lets him run a laundry factory, but also does other illegal jobs inside the factory, such as hiring illegal workers and exploiting them by paying much less than normal wage. He is very abusive and does not respect the needs and wants of his workers. He takes them for granted to feed his own personal needs.
Conflict Complication
After a month of her working there, Adriana begins to realise Britain is no where near as good as what she was expecting. She feels as if she may as well of stayed in Albania as there she would of probably been treated with more respect. At this point, she is unknown and has no one at all to talk to. She is earning just enough to pay rent and feed herself, but doesn't have enough money to send home. One day she is late for work and Steve starts to abuse her. This triggers off the main problem and Steve starts to show his true colours.
Elaboration
Now Adriana's aim is to get out of this workplace, however she won't be able to yet, because she is renting off of her boss's son steve. As she is planning to try and get away, Steve realises and sets out to punish Adriana once again, but this time a lot worse to try and scare her so she does what she is told and so she doesnt disobey him again.
Adriana starts to make some friends around the workplace, even though this is not aloud and tries to get them in on her plan to sabotage Steve and get rid of him. However, it isn't easy as they are unable to call the police, as they will be sent back to their country, and many of the workers are scarred of him and dont want to get hurt so they try to stay in hes good books.
As she doesn't get a lot of money, her mum gets angry at her and tells her how much she is struggling back at home. This puts a lot of stress on Adriana and makes her feel like she is letting everyone down.She tries to do little jobs, such as prostitution, every now and then when she was in desperate need of money, and sent what she could back to Albania so her mum was happy with her. All whilst this is going on Adriana gets really close to a colleague Blerim and he joins in the plan to try and get away. This relieves stress off Adriana as she no longer feels alone and has hope. She is also gaining feelings for Blerim, making her feel more secure as he is the only one supporting her in this time of need.
Climax & Resolution
After six months of working in the laundry, Adriana is close in succeeding in what she aimed to do. Steve started getting very cautious at this point as he couldn't afford to lose any workers. This is when hell breaks loose. Steve becomes very aggressive and demanding. She tries to argue back but Steve has none of it and keeps her behind when all the workers go home. Blerim realises Adriana is missing and goes in the laundry to look for her. When he walks in he find Steve trying to sexually abuse her. This angers Blerim and he starts hitting Steve with a found piece of metal. They fight for a little until Steve falls on a bench side, cracking hes head open that kills him. Blerim hides the body round the back of the laundry hoping that no one will ever find it.
Coda
Adriana and Blerim find work somewhere else where they get paid a decent amount, and start making better lives for themselves. The ending will show them moving into a flat together in a better area, and them living their normal, average boring lives.

Production Log: 4
This week i have been doing primary research with my partner Chanel. We asked 10 people 5 questions related to BSR films and asked what we thought will help us in coming up with an idea. From our research, we fount out that most of the audience like to watch themes like violence, sex and crime, as this is what they told us and the most popular films that have been watch, was Kidulthood, Adulthood, Anuvahood and This is England, which all portray these films. Also we fount out that the audience relate and enjoy more to films where the main characters are roughly the same age, because they do more similar things as the target audience does. We also fount out what they thought of our rough idea, and most people said it was good however people thought it was too dramatic.

.jpeg)
This will inform our production because we now have more understanding of what our target audience of 16-24 likes more, so we can target them more accurately and add in things that they would relate to and enjoy more, like adding in the themes they would like to see added more and making our character younger and more modern as that's what they relate to more, this will hopefully make our film more appealing to the audience and more people would want to watch it.
This week i also made a meet my audience PowerPoint slide, which is basically a perfect version of a person in my target audience that would watch the film. It describes the things they do, where they are from, what interests them, where they live and so on. This will help me in my production because it makes me more aware of what sort of things my target audience will do in their lives and so on, so i can make characters and storyline more relatable and appealing to them.
This week has helped me develop on my idea alot and the audience research, which can be seen on the primary research post, and it will be very useful for me as i can base my ideas on the research found from my audience and use what appeals the audience in my ideas to make them interested in my film. Overall i fount out more about my audience and have more understanding. This will result in a better film.

Audience Research
What British Social Realism films have you seen?
The majority of people said they have seen films like Anuvahood, Kidulthood Adulthood, This is England and Attack the Block. These were the most popular that was said. So from this i found that most teenagers my age like to watch films of characters that relate to them, like Kidulthood and adulthood they are roughly the same age, so it clearly is more appealing for them to watch.What draws you in to watch these types of films?
The things that made them watch these films is that it relates to real life and it shows true issues going on today. This makes it more relatable to the audience living in Britain as it happens all around us just not as badly. So they watch it as they can relate. Also having a good storyline is what interested people into watching them, but also as there is a lot of violence on an exaggerated level, some people find that fun to watch and are interested in things like that.What themes would you like to see portrayed more?
The themes that people wanted to be seen more was things like drug abuse, violence and sex. They wanted to see these more as these themes draw the most attention and are the most interesting, because they can relate to these themes more in their life's. However some people wanted to see more unseen issues portrayed, such as bullying in school, or how life is for unemployed people. Issues that people like us can learn from which i fount quite interesting.Do you like our idea?
Our idea: A teenage girl in year 11 of high school doesn't really have any friends. She lives in a rough area and doesn't have a very good family. Her teacher starts to sexually abuse her, and as she had no one to talk to things started to get out of hand. She took drugs and began to inflict pain on herself. She was getting stalked by her teacher and couldn't take it anymore then accidentally killed him. This was just a rough idea to see the reactions people thought of it. The majority of people liked our idea, and said they think it would portray things that go on today and they would be interested to watch it to see what happens next and that it would send a message out. However some people thought it was unrealistic for the girl to kill her teacher, and though it was a bit over the top.What characters do you expect in British Social Realism films/ Does our character relate?
The people said that the character in our idea does relate to what they expect of characters in BSR films. And they said they would expect violent, aggressive people that are living in poverty, but also they expect a character with bubbly personality that don't take like so seriously. They would expect a frightened young girl and a violent teacher from our idea which was expected.Here is the Meet My Audience powerpoint slide.
Qualitive Data Analysis
My research has narrowed down my ideas for my BSR film. As many people have seen films like kidulthood, this is england etc. These are all focused around teenagers. In my idea i will focus the story on a teenager so it is more relateable for the target audience of 16-24, so they would be more interested in my idea.Also, as from my research i fount out that the themes people like to watch the most is drug abuse, violence and sex, as these are the most relatable to our age group and society. So in my idea i will add some of these themes in, but also add more unseen themes as some people said they would like to see that more. So this helped me decided what themes are going to be in my film.
When i asked people about my rough idea, most of them said they liked the idea of the main character and what she is going through, however they thought it was to dramatic. This helped me narrow down my ideas as i will try to base my character from the one of my rough idea, but make it less dramatic and aim to make it more relatable to the audience.
As some people said they would like to see different themes portrayed, this helped my to come up with a concept because i will make it relate to a wider audience that can relate to themes that arent seen in many BSR films. It will still relate to many other people, but i will focus on portraying something more unique than other BSR film.
My research has also helped my come up with ideas about what the character will be like. On the last question i asked the audience said they expect people living in poverty or a bubbly character. This will help me as i will try to add these personalitys and aspects into my film as this is what would interest the audience the most.
