EXTRAS

The establishing shot of the tv show Extras is a tracking shot of the jury. This shows the audience that they're in a court room. The lighting was a warm, orange colour to show it is a soap show. As the scene progresses we see the two layers start a fight, the three person shot angled so each lawyer is one either side of the judge. The judge then tells them to "kiss and make up" in this sections the two lawyers come closer together until the camera cannot see the judge and he is no longer in the middle of the fight. The director then yells cut as the lighting changes to a bright naturalistic white colour to show how this is now reality. The camera angle then shows over cameras and microphones along with directors. This lets the audience know how the previous scene was them shooting a tv show. The sound while the lawyers are fighting gets louder until they kiss, then stops abruptly when the director yells "CUT". We then see one of the extras in the next scene as she has a telephone conversation with someone who is annoyed with her. We know he is annoyed as they show the reaction shots of the second person.

NOWHERE BOY

The establishing shot of the film Nowhere Boy, is of a grand stone building. We then see young John Lennon running across this historic building showing his disregard to the building. The match shot then changes to John being woken up in his bed by his Aunt Mimi, his maternal figure. In the next scene we see the close relationship between John and his Uncle. In this scene John's Uncle gives him a harmonica, as he does so he looks over his shoulder to see where Aunt Mimi is. This shows how music is a close private thing between John and his Uncle. It also shows how alike John and his Uncle is along with how different John is to Mimi. Mimi is shown to be the strict parent as she yells at John to put his glasses on. The strict ways are also shown by the dark colours she wears. The music as John goes to school is the song 'Wild Child' again to show his disregard for the rules, and his rebellious ways. The song continues into the scene where we see John waiting outside the Headmasters office where the song fades out.
As John and his Uncle set up the radio in Johns room we see the difference between John and his Aunt, as he listens to shows and Mimi prefers classical music and reading. Johns Uncle dies to establish the lose of a friend and his father figure. When John is told his Uncle died he leans on the door frame for support. The two person shot with John and Mimi, Mimi is turned away from John so she seems strong around him and doesn't show her upset emotions. The lighting in this shot is dim to show the gloomy and depressed mood and the late night.
The funeral has a dark atmosphere and slow music to show the sad mood. After the funeral John goes and meets his mum who is the opposite of Aunt Mimi as she wears bright colours and has her hair down in loose curls.

DISTRIBUTION: PRIDE

We looked at the film Pride and how it was attracting an audience.



Here an article shows how Bill Nighly had a protest to stand up for homosexual people, much like they do in the film. This got the audience excited for the movie as they joined the protest with a very well known actor who is in this film. The audience can then relate to the film more as they have also been through a protest for gay pride.


A video soundbite from actor Andrew Scott urging audiences to book tickets 'as there is only one week left.'
'The real LGSM and stars of #PRIDE marched with a live band to Odeon Cinema, Camden on Tuesday 2nd September for the Premiere! Here are our highlights.' This creates a hype for the film and people then want to go and see it. There website is in colour blocks to draw attention. The website has gifs (moving picture clips) from the movie along with short videos of the actors to get the audience excited. The website also featured a countdown to the film to get people talking.

The actors also had tweeted about the movie so their followers on twitter would know and ReTweet and favourite any tweets. The actors also did publicity things such as interviews and photoshoots to get the word out about the film Pride.
