Production log week 3

This week I have learnt that the commissioner: film 4 impacts greatly on the films they choose to produce and co-fund, seeing as film 4 is a big company it has the means to fund a huge amount of money into films, looking at the film 4 ethos, it says that are looking to fund at least £500,000 per film. Also film 4 being a British company they are looking to please the British public and one way they do this is by making their films relatable to that audience. Also Film 4 aim to produce 8 feature films a year,   and they look for equal equity and look to co-finance all their films with their financing partners.

This will impact on production by making me think differently about how my production would be filmed and edited to create this innovative style that Film 4 are looking for as well as making it acceptable to be part of the British platform for BSR.

BSR sounds

I have learnt that BSR films look a lot at music and foley sounds to make up a scene, especially during a fast paced scene music helps to add the atmosphere required to entice the audience as well as using foley sounds to add  to the realism of the scene. Also I found that a lack of sound helps produce a powerful and intense feel to a scene seeing that the editing matches.

This will impact on my production by me looking at the different possible ways to use sound and how uniquely but effectively I could use it, for example, to give an idea of the current situation through music or the effective use of non-diegetic sound possibly flowing and becoming diegetic sound.
