Josh " I like the chronological order of the way the film is presented and the effect of the sillouhette used to portray Lauren"


Ms Nair "Powerful opening, good how it starts with present to past"
Dislikes/Improvements


Josh " It would be more realistic to use a belt or rubberbands used to tie round her arm rather than cloth"




Abigail "To dramatic (..) unlikely for all events to happen to one person so young"


Ms Nair " Think about attention to detail , make it visually intense for example drugs and the baby objects".

Story board final

First draft of story board

Title ideas

This title is from a series called The wire, it is strongly drug related and is linked to our target film. I like the idea of the title because we can have headlines of people dieing and drug related themes and link it to our film, in the form of a title Forsaken. I like this idea and i would use it in my film if it was suitable

Moodboard




This is my moodboard, for my film Forsaken. The purpose of an moodboard is to show the different themes and colours that link in with your film. My film is verry depressing and sad and i've have showed this by the use of dark colours and depressing pictures. Even to the style of how i presented it you you can see the sinister side of it, through the old cinematic effect. I like how i presented my moadboard because it is done through a slideshow and i feel this is a great way to express the themes of the film. I also i feel this slideshow is effective because it has pictures which keep people intrested and also additional information to with it. My moadboard.
