The title of the film - 'Rejected' sums up the films narrative and is used for an enigma to the audience. We used the church in the background to give a subtle meaning of the film and why the use of the word 'Rejected' is used with the church in the background.
Setting and Location - Setting and Location is used throughout the opening shots of our film in order to give an essence of where and what is connected with village life. We decided to use an extreme long shot to show the village of Minster, Kent, and how peaceful, tranquil and beautiful the location of the village is. As a group we decided that a rural location was ideal and most connected with Religion with villagers attending church ever Sunday. It does not give away the narrative of the homosexuality in not accepted in religion.
Title font and style - The text that we have used throughout the footage is traditional and not garish in its colour. Sticking particularly with white as this is seem as a Holy, pure and inoffensive colour. Attention to detail has been paid for the quality of viewing and wanted to challenge the overall image that was shown in the opening sequence of the film. The font used is Lithos Pro, which is a medieval/stone style font matching the church architecture, continuing with the image of religion.
How characters are introduced - Our main character, Luke (Liam Philpott) gains prevalence throughout the product, and the opening shot shows him in a medium close up showing his posture, emotion and costume. Although dressed in formal clothing, and connects the stereotype of a typical 'Church goer', the clothing is laid out informally and scruffy, with the top button open, tie loosened and shirt untucked. Immediately we can see him clutching the bible and crouching down by the church wall showing the audience his saddened emotion and vulnerability while in his state of emotion.
Costume - Question a member of the public about a teenagers stereotyped dress sense, they would likely say 'track suit bottoms, trainers and a base ball cap'. We have challenged this convention as Luke is a devoted Catholic and this is shown with the costume that he is wearing. Luke is seen dressed formally, wearing shoes, trousers, shirt and tie that is more professional and does not have the same negative image of teenagers in todays society.
Genre and how the opening suggests it - Rejected is a Romantic Drama following the life of one teenagers challenge of sexuality in his particular religion, Catholicism. Luke is shown in a medium close up, leant against the church wall looking apprehensive, lost and wondering in a sea of thoughts. His hands are clenched together that add to this image and he is looking down to the floor while gathering his thoughts.
Camerawork - The use of cinematography helps evidence our narrative to the audience, by using a range of techniques to show posture, location and costume. Luke has prevalence in our film so we have mainly used close ups and medium close ups to show his story and is generally used in other romantic dramas that we have watched as part of our research into Romantic Dramas.
Editing - To match the relaxed, calming footage of our film we wanted smooth transitions and effects to suggest this. This is not an action film so we wanted fluidity and smoothness as a key priority of our aims. Although this is a 'drama' is does not have large, distracting transitions to pull the viewer away from what the voiceover is telling and to gather a grasp of what the story is about.
