Role Allocation

I am working as a individual so i will be an auteur.

An auteur theory was made in the 1950s and it reflects the directors personal creation vision. A famous auteur is the director James Whale from the early horror movies from the 1930s. He was famous for films such as Frankenstein, the old dark house and the invisible man. He was born in Dudley in 1889. He realized he had a passion for drama when he became a British officer in the army and was a prisoner of war. In the film Frankenstein he was very ahead of his times and it was one controversial scene in which the monster throws a young girl into the water and she drowns. This is bad now a days and to an audience in 1930 this was an outrage but this is what he wanted and he got his own way. He was brought back to do the bride of Frankenstein and wanted full control and a hidden gay background is evident in the film. He killed himself in 1957 by drowning himself.

The word auteur came about when a bunch of movie critics said that it is important for a film to reflect the directors vision. This was a reflection on film directors such as Alfred Hitchcock and Howard hawks.

Filming

For the band parts it will be filmed in my garage. it will help give a authentic and realistic part of the video as most band play in their garages at first and helps give the band a close bond with each other in the video. The props i will use for this part is a guitar, bass and drum kit. The band are all dressed in a casual dress.

The part of the female will be shot outside the cinema in Sutton as this is were she will be waiting for Leroy who is late. She doesn't have any props and is just dressed casual

Leroy will have a variety of different locations. The first one will be in my house and bedroom where he will leave to go on the date. His second will be in the arbo part in Walsall. Next location is the shopping centre in Walsall when he is getting the flowers. Then he meets charlie in the cinema. Then he is going towards to the church though Sutton town centre then the last location is at the graveyard. The props used in this part are the flowers that Leroy is taking to the date. He is dressed casual as well as you think he is heading for a date. He also uses a mobile when he is looking at the text.
