Beachcombing for inspiration

In my production i would like to use characters like Jay from adulthood because he is typical representation of a working class person who uses violence a lot. Clearly in the picture this is connoted by him holding a gun. Using props like this adds to realism of characters.

In this shot from James Bond Casino Royale I particularly liked the use of lighting in the background and foreground of the shot which gives it a sinister look and also brings focus to Bond. Using lighting in my own production like this to bring focus onto particular objects can be very effective because it can connote a theme or something about a character to the audience.

In this scene for bad boys 2, there is a 360 degree shot that goes around 3 times continuously. I think that this technique is very effective as it allows the audience to understand the action going on from all perspectives as though they are there themselves. 

In this scene from ill manors there is a soundtrack being used to narrate the story, this inspired me because i think that using this over a montage clears up any confusion for the audience as they watch because a montage has no dialogue. Using this in my production would be quite difficult because finding or creating a song which would match the entire opening sequence is impractical. 

In this shot from law abiding citizen, i found that the way the characters are placed in the shot is quite important and creates a sense of who they are to the audience. Like the man on the left is at a higher level compared to man sitting on the chair connoting authority. Using different placements of objects and characters in a scene in my production will be very important and I could do this so that the audience understands relationships between characters.

This is a shot from fish tank which is essentially shot of Mia recording herself, I thought this was good because even though you don't see the primary actions being done you see what she is doing from the other cameras perspective which I thought was quite unique. Using this but as a POV shot I think would be easy and creative in my production it would help the audience empathize with a specific characters. 

In my production i would like to use the theme of drugs, doing so is quite simple but showing how the theme effects people in BSR films is key. I could show the abuse of drugs within the production and convey its effects with the narrative.

One thing i thought was done well was the use credits over the actual scene of the incredible hulk and its typography matching the actual production, i could do this in my production but making the typography very simple and plain which connotes the realism of the BSR genre.

In the first 20 seconds of adulthood, there are flashbacks which help re-introduce characters and gives the audience and idea of what they might see in the film. Also there is a lack of sound in the first part which adds to the tension of the scene but also brings focus to actions i think using this technique i could very well build tension in production.

In these two shots here they both use real locations from the football factory. I would like to try to emulate the same type of locations in my own productions also in the image on the right i think the graffiti on the wall adds to the realism but also i could use this in my production for credits or as they have done here to give the audience the location.

In this shot from fish tank i found that there clever use of the iconic red London bus allows from them to portray the location. Using a similar technique in using icons to give the audience an idea of locations, themes and background of characters is key and could work very well.

In this shot from this is England they use of the the high angle shot which creates the theme of vulnerability, also the fact that he is blocking out the light creates a sinister vibe to the shot. Using high angle shots to create vulnerability and the use of light like this in my production will allow for me to achieve that realistic gritty feel for the production.

This song 'waiting for the sun' by plan B i think is a good song to use in BSR films simply because it has that grimey feel to it, i think i would use this song in my production as non-diegetic sound because it creates atmosphere, i could possibly use this in a bad situation.

This song by Flip'C Dubz - Dem Gully Guyz is a fast paced party grime type of song which you could possibly see at a rave in BSR films like in adulthood at the beginning. I could use this type of song as both non-diegetic and diegetic music to create atmosphere and a vibe for the scene.
