What is the film about?
In my interpretation of the film I believe the character ‘Bogdan’ is seeking asylum in the UK. I think the character is portrayed as someone who is lonely, broke and trying to make a living in the UK, I think the character could possibly miss his friends and family back in Romania, due to the living room scene and the library scene, However it could be the other way around and he is communicating with people back home telling news of how things are going in the UK.
To me the letter that he tears up represents something that suggests bad news, such as a refusal to work or reside in the UK; however you do not really know. The ending I think is open and he could possibly be returning back to Romania or fleeing from the town he resides in to move to another place within the UK, suggesting that the he must go back to his home country.
Is there any political issue that will impact the film?
I believe that this script politically portrays an asylums identity and how he goes about his day, someone that is trying to make a living in the UK and is anxiously waiting on news giving the feeling of hope throughout the script, there is a lot of sensitivity and negativity regarding the issue of asylum seekers in the UK especially in the press with many believing they are stealing jobs or that UK residents tax money is paying for them to live in the UK.
My image of the film is something that is sad and very lonely, I picture the scenes as been very gritty and realistically looking, with a very subtle soundtrack, I can see this film going from light to dark very quickly, with a lot of monotone colours and long distance camera shots to make the character look smaller and isolated disconnecting him with his environment. I see this film as quite minimal with very few camera shots, except for the dancing scene where I could see that as being quite frantic and adding a bit of light to the film but with a nice undertone of isolation and disconnection with the scene he is in, such as the living room being quite dark and very substandard.
Working Inside Out
To prepare us as a group for the official task
Explore ideas and experiment with the visual vision
To make mistakes as part of the learning process
To help understand the layout of the script
To stimulate my imagination
So jools can have a coffee
To show how scripts can have different interpretations to different people
Interpret text
Create own interpretation
Original work
Bring script to screen
Develop own ideas
Think analytically
Group Roles
My role within the group is the sound of the film, Glyn will be involved with the props, location, equipment and acting, Lee and Hollie will be using the camera & lighting, I think it would be a good idea for all of us to muck in on the editing and directing of the film in order for us to each get our own individual ideas across and onto the screen.
