THE SOLDIER

Made by DSLProductions

Our film will be from 0-2 minutes in length and will be film on the North Shore and in the country side of New Zealand. We have chosen these locations because we need an inside shot and many outside shots to tell this story. Another reason being that when we are shooting outside we will have lots of space to work with. 

Our film will include these conventions:

• Guns
• Knives
• Blood
• Army Costumes
• Explosions using vfx
• Documents
• Rough Terrain 
• Chase scene
• Low lighting
• Wounds

Two examples that fit well with our idea of this film is the two films "American Sniper" and "Brothers."

Character Names:

1. Ben 
2. Sully
3. Nathan
4. Jack

Ideology: Our film is showing the audience what life is like for the soldiers that fight overseas for our safety.

Mood and Tone: Mood is high intensity and is very realistic. We want the audience to feel like they are in the film with our characters. We also want the relationship between our characters to be strong so that if one dies then the audience feels upset about this. 

Camera Shots: We are gonna use a lot of close ups in this film so that we can hide a lot of things and almost trick the audience into think we are on a very large set. For some of our scenes we are gonna use darker lighting to give a suspenseful tone.

Themes: Will be everything to do with the military and we will also play on the stereotype of terrorist and what they do to Americans.

Mise en scene: Will be large fields for the majority of the film with some shots being indoors at the start and possibly the end. 

Symbolism: 

• Photos
• Guns
• Blood
• Document

Sound and music: Music will be very intense and will cut in and out of the film. Some sound effects will be used in order to tell the audience what is going on. 

Credits and logos: We will be making a logo and credits can role at the end for everyone who was involved however credits at the start will be for key actors. 

Editing: We will be putting in some vfx to set the scene and also tell the audience what is going on, other than advanced cgi the only editing we will be using is basic cuts on premiere pro.
