The Punter Final

This is the final product of our short film called, 'The Punter.' We are very pleased with how it has turned out as it has the right feel we wanted it to have so it goes along with the song used as a soundtrack. We deliberately used this song as it has a great beat and also has a slightly 'crazy' feel to it. We took inspiration for our film primarily from the popular TV sitcom, 'The Mighty Boosh,' we wanted to try and use their unique style of filming and mise-en-scene but use try and incorporate another genre with it. We wanted to make a horror film but not a normal one, so we thought that by taking inspiration from The Mighty Boosh we can make a piece which is unique and stands out. I feel we have achieved this but there are many parts which i would have changed. First of all because we had to extend our project we went straight on with filming it with minimal planning which made the final few scenes not as good as the primary one. Also because we filmed over several days the clothes the actors were wearing have changed.

This is my animatic for my short movie, 'The Punter.' It is the opening scene from this movie and is shot all in a POV camera shot from the perspective of the murderer. The main aim for this task was to get an idea for shot timing and get a feel for how the scene will look and this has worked very well for me as now i can see where i need to change the scene slightly but extending the opening shots slightly.

My Information

My name is James Longley and I am starting my A2 course for Film Studies, I am hoping that with this course i will gain a much deeper understanding of the Film industry and also the production process of a Film through the practical project in this course. I am hoping to further this knowledge at university where my hopes are to go and and study script writing and film making.
Also with this course i am hoping to further my evaluation and analytical work when analysing films.
