HOW FILM 4 HAD AN IMPACT ON OUR

OPENING SEQUENCE

PRE PRODUCTION

• In the pre production stage of our coursework me and my partner Abdullah

look at some different Film 4 films e.g Fish Tank, From London to Brighton,

This is England and Hunger from these films we got a really good idea of

how Film 4 films are meant to look and feel the main thing I got from this was

that all the films had brutal scenes and grimy dirty shooting locations an

example of this was in Fish Tank in the Gipsy camp sight when she gets

attacked there was rubbish everywhere stuff like scrap metal making it look

not a nice place to live.

PRODUCTION

• Film 4 had a big impact on our production from the clothes we had our cast in to the

places we shot in. We went for the back end of a park for the places we decided to put the

chavs as this was concealed behind a lot of bushes that could hide the chavs, even the

Goths studio was grimy and low in quality it was a small room with really bad lighting.

• This gave us the chance to add the fight scene to make the opening sequence to our film

really brutal sticking to the classic conventions of a Film 4 film.

DISTRIBUTION

• As Film 4 films wouldn’t be seen in top high end multiplex cinemas like View

or Odeon we would display our films in more private cinemas also on

channel four and film 4 on TV.

• The companies we would have distribute our film would be companies like

Artificial Eye or Optimum Realising. These smaller companies that would

give a Film 4 film the money and chance to get their film out there.

Low end cinema only a few

screens.
