Trailer for Hannah

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugireeCoYyU -In the trailer for 'Hanna' we pick up more ideas about a film being based around a main young female character, from this we can take ideas on how young women are represented within films. 
This is the moodboard i created on the other main chracters within our film. In the centre of the moodbaord is a picture of Joef Fritzel and Rosmarie Fritzel. As we are basing our film around the story of the daughter of the Fritzel's, i felt it important to get evidence of what the fritzels look like, this is because we can use the Fritzels as an inspirtation of what our other characters will look like. When searching for simular looks to Josef fritzel, i tried looking for middle-later aged men that have a distinguished look. For example, the picture in the bottom right hand corner, has a very mencaing look and his eyes are very distinguishable, this is a simularity to Fritzel. I also looked for men with facial hair, especially someone with a moustache as a moustache in the modern day is not as popular as beards. This means that the character would look more individual and will stay in a persons mind for a long time. I also took an image from the human centipede 2. I did this because the man is a notorious chracter that is hard to forget. He is my main inspiration for the male character that i would like to cast. When


searching for different looks that are simular to Rosmarie Fritzel, i looked for middle aged-later aged women who dont particularly stand out. The kind of people you wouldnt acknowledge in a big crowd. I felt this was necessary becuase it brings a greater sense of naturlism into our film. This is important becuase our storyline is uncommon and hard to relate to so i feel the characters should be relatable in some aspect. Also when looking for appearances i would like to base the women character in our film, i tried to look for someone with short, big, light coloured hair and a wrinkly worn face. I particulary would like the women character in our film to be wrinkly because it shows she has lived and has many stories in her past. It also gives her the motherly look rather than casting someone on my age, 16-17 which wont inform the audience that the women is the girls mother. Therefore we would be able to elminate any unessecary confusion.

This is the moodboard i created on location. I decided to look for shots within a forest or basement. This is because the only locations we will be filming are a forest and a basement. I particulary looked for dark forest shots with a visble pathway. This is because for one of our main shots there is a girl running in the distance through a visble pathway in a forest. Therefore some of these shots are effective because we can replicate them into our film. When looking for basement shots, i looked for dark pictures with minimal objects. This is because i feel the audience would feel more sympathetic for the character if she is living in a bland, dark, emput surrounding. I also added shots of stairs as we will be filming the man going down the stairs at different angles.

This is a moodboard i created on the main character in our film. when looking for appropriate and reelatable images i looked for images of sad young girls, who were obviously devastated over something. I found some of these images particulary effective as they were images of girls on steps. This is good becasue we can replicate these images into our film.
