Guy Ritchie 'Snatch' and Noel Clarke 'Adulthood'

Snatch


Adulthood



We have looked at clips from both 'Snatch' and 'Adulthood' and are planning to take ideas from them both using some of the cinematography techniques and the same type of music for our soundtrack. Our opening sequence will have elements from both the films as the genre is the same as ours a Gangster Thriller genre. We our planning to use the same type of quick camera shots used in 'Snatch' where they use quick shots of different scenes so it shortens the length of the journey to England from America. We will copy this idea but instead do the shot of Matt (Danny) rolling up a joint(prop will be used to avoid actual drug intake!) We will also take other ideas from the films but approach them with original ideas.

Filming and logistics difficulties

On Saturday the 27th of February, three members of our group travelled to Cambridge to complete filming for our currently untitled project. The weather was slightly overcast, but this was perfect for the the atmosphere we are trying to generate with our project. However, due to prior commitments experienced by members of our cast and due to electronic failure, no filming actually occurred. Despite this setback, we did not waste the opportunity and spent our time scouting potential locations for filming and refining our ideas for dialogue and cinematography. We intend to try again this coming Sunday and have locations in mind such as the top of Cineworld car park for timelapse shots of urban Cambridge and around the Catholic Church for other shots.

Note to reader:

The beginning sequence of this movie follows the character of Lewis, however. Lewis and his life are just a passing thing in the life of Julius, and the existence of crime and death he leads.

Other pupils work analysis.

This piece follows many of the conventions of psychological thriller. The non-diegetic soundtrack creates an atmosphere of suspense & tension reinforce the apprehension the swift shot cuts build up. Tracking shots help us to follow the action as the plot unfolds. The mise en scene features a fat guy and other elements that are typical. The motif of the chess set as a recurring theme through the piece draws intrigue.
