production log week sixx.

This week i have looked at the opening sequences of films and looking at the editing, camera language and mise-en-scene.The film we watched during lesson was shifty and analysed this during class time. I've learnt that for the BSR genre mostly natural lighting has been used. Also the locations that are used are generally real locations for example the Estate used in Fish Tank was a real life estate in Barking which makes the film more realistic. The camera language is usually very shaky and is hand held which again creates realism as it looks very rough and not perfect as how BSR films should be previewed as. In BSR films the camera language is usually mid shots, close up and long shots on the main characters to establish the surrounding area but also the characters body language and facial expressions to show the type of characters they are. The editing was full of long takes, and minimal editing  and is slow pace. This has an impact on my work as i would use this to make my BSR film even more realistic. The locations used have been gritty and dirty and i will use these types of locations in my own work. My actors will be untrained as it would be more realistic rather than having a fully trained actor as it would not be as realistic and rough as I wanted.
