Location research

We have chosen to use My nan and granddads house as the main place to film due to the layout of kitchen and where the door is positioned.




This is where the scene of the boy being stabbed will be. We will have roses and candles for decoration.



Here are some of the shots that we want to take...







 Pictures of other areas in the house that we may use to film. 








 We will also be filming along Westfield going in and out of jewellers trying on rings. The only other location will be around hackney, taking shots of the two actors showing the good side of their relationship.
We may also film at Zebie's as her bedroom will be a good place to show her getting ready to go out.

Background info on male domestic violence


http://www.domesticviolencelondon.nhs.uk/1-what-is-domestic-violence-/25-domestic-abuse-against-men.html
‘Many men who experience domestic abuse from a current or former partner find it difficult to get support; not least because it can be hard for men to acknowledge and discuss their experiences. This can be due to any number of reasons, including love for a partner, embarrassment or shame and concern for any children, or simply not knowing where to go.
Men may attempt different techniques to cope. Coping strategies including adopting an ‘I can handle this' attitude and adapting their behaviour to appease the abuser. Coping strategies like this may make life temporarily safer and easier but they are unlikely to stop the abuse' .
The 2008-09 bulletin states: "More than one in four women (28%) and around one in six men (16%) had experienced domestic abuse since the age of 16. These figures are equivalent to an estimated 4.5 million female victims of domestic abuse and 2.6 million male victims."

Ice Breaker - Creativity lesson


Today in lesson sir wanted to see our imaginative skills. So that when it comes to generating our ideas for our music videos we are thinking on the correct path. To help with this we took part in two activities:
The first activity was to continue a story. We had yo begin by writing a true fact about something that happened to us individually in primary school. Then we had to fold it over and put it into the middle so that know one would see. Then we all took a random one, sir then told us to make up a story for the individual. Each time we switched the pieces of paper, so no one knew who's story we were writing or adding too. At the end we all received our stories, when reading them we got a creative storyline as everyone wrote something different making our fictional lives more interesting.



In the second activity sir asked us to pick 4 different numbers. Each number had a different person, place, object or genre. This was so when creating a story we had restraints. We then had to create a story with a climax introducing these 4 things. This helped us write with borders/limits. Thus constraining our creative flow.
