Reasons To Consider Film 4


‘Film4.0 is a talent and idea driven hub within Film4 that works with established and emerging talent, supporting them to tell unique stories and connect with audiences in new ways.’ Quote from http://www.film4.com/film4-productions/film4-0

Film4.0 launched in 2011 with the objective to fund and support up and coming directors, producers and actors who have a passion for film. Not only this but Film 4 is a British company meaning all involvement within distribution and production would stay in the this country which supports the British Film Industry.

Examples of Films produced by Film 4 within 2013 slate are 'Under The Skin' By British director Jonathan Glazer ('Sexy Beast' and 'Birth') and 'The Double' by British Director 
Richard Ayoade (Submarine).

'Under the Skin' is a Film4 and BFI presentation, in association with Silver Reel, Creative Scotland and FilmNation Entertainment which was critically acclaimed at the Venice, Toronto and London film festivals and '
The Double' is a Film4 & BFI presentation of an Alcove production which received its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2013.

I would consider allowing Film 4 to produce 'When We Wake' because 'Under The Skin' and 'The Double' are examples of successful thriller films Film 4 have produced and distributing soon.

'When We Wake' Mood Board


Here is my 'When We Wake' mood board. This mood board includes cinematography and film shots from 'How I live Now' by director Kevin Macdonald. The reason I have chosen to include images from this specific film is because the locations used (forest, fields, woods, abandoned houses) help present the idea across to the spectator an apocalypse and its after math.

Moreover, the camera angling used is something My group and I would like to use within our film; angles such as low angle medium shots and counter angled shots not only show the protagonist but show the state of mind the character is in as well.

Inception Soundtrack Analysis

Here is my soundtrack analysis for Hans Zimmer's score 'Time' from Christopher Nolan's Science-Fiction Thriller 'Inception'. The reason I have chosen to analysis this particular score is because it is from the same genre type film as 'When We Wake'.

The building of percussion from the orchestra within the soundtrack adds to the building suspense my group and I want to achieve in our film. Nearing the end of the score, the soundtrack fades into a single piano playing a few keys; this also relates to the theme within 'When We Wake' as the piano notes that break away from the main body of the soundtrack relate to Lucy's separation from humanity and isolation.
