Film Ideas

Film Ideas.

The genre i have chosen to study is a hybrid genre, it is a mix of drama, action and crime. The mis-en-scene in this will include violent weapons such as knives, knuckle dusters, bats and i want to the actors to play show the typical stereo type of a 'hoodrat' or 'gangster'. I will be experimental with the camera shots i use for example a worm shot to film footsteps, a low angle to show someone vulnerable or a high angle to show someone of high status. I think i definitely will use depth of field in my film because by having everything blurred except one thing that is in focus looks quite edgy and mysterious.
