Get Off My Land- recreation task

'Get Off My Land' recreation task

The task is to recreate the short film called 'get off my land' using the same script, a similar setting, similar actors and similar props. The short film is approximately 4 mins and 34 seconds long and is made up of many different shots. In total there are three characters and the dialogue is pretty basic with no speech for half of the film. I have attached the short film here if you would like to watch it but of not the basics of the plot are this: an unhappy couple are going for a walk across a field when they are approached by an unhappy landowner who claims they are walking on his land. After they refuse to leave he shoots the couple.

SETTING:

We will be shooting our creation of ‘Get off My Land’ at the river tiffey. We have chosen this location as our setting because it is a rural and desolate area in the countryside, obviously a very fitting setting for our recreation of ‘Get off My Land’. Also, as the setting is very deserted, the sound of traffic and the public will not be a problem and not disrupt our video. Moreover, not only is this location rural, it closely resembles the setting of ‘Get off My Land’ as it contains numerous trees, fields and foliage just like the video.  

Here is a picture of our filming location:

PROPS:
The main prop used in the short film is a gun, this prop is used to create shock and fear in the audience when the farmer first appears with the weapon and then kills the couple with it. The prop gun we used was an air rifle as an alternative to the shotgun used in the actual short film. This can be seen in this image:
