Aims and Context


Aims and Context

For my FM3 Creative Project I am going to produce a sequence to be filmed which is the opening scene and the following montage of my imagined film "Blood Money". It uses the codes and conventions associated with the genre Crime Drama and using aspects of comedy and thriller should appeal to a target audience of 18 year old males, with some knowledge of films of this particular genre, of any background.

I have been heavily influenced by the narrative structure and use of dialogue in Quentin Tarantino films specifically, Pulp Fiction, 1994, Reservoir Dogs, 1992 and Jackie Brown, 1997. Martin Scorsese’s filming style and use of violence has also influenced me with mainly films such as; Goodfellas 1990, The Departed, 2006 and Mean Streets, 1973. Amorres Perros by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu also influenced the way I intend to use music and filming style. I have studied these films and took note on scenes and the way they are shot and how they will benefit my film.

My aim is to create meaning through the use of micro features that of: cinematography, mise-en-scene, editing and narrative development, to manipulate the audiences emotions and create the emotional response of shock through violence.
I intend to direct my sequence and to assist with this endeavour I have been studying films of the same or related genre such as Pulp Fiction, taking note of the shots, cinematography, performance, lighting and editing used in an attempt to establish a style and pointers from professional directors. The realistic lighting I intend to use will hopefully engage the audience further by creating the illusion that the film is set within the real world. 
I have learnt from my previous assignment in Film Studies FM1 the importance of good lighting as the film and the effects created will suffer if visibility is reduced or back lighting is apparent with no real effect. However, in the sequence the plot requires a different setting and a different time so good lighting, in theory, should be easier to achieve.
