Inspiration - I, Daniel Blake by Ken Loach

Recently I went to go see I, Daniel Blake, which was the BEST movie I have every had the pleasure of witnessing. It was so real, the social realism was highly developed by the use of very personal characters. Such as Daniel Blake is a stand-up comedian himself, therefore he's extremely naturally funny, plus he's naturally broke himself anyway. The actors are everyday people facing the everyday situations which add so much emphasis to the film.


The inspiration I've taken from this is to use actors that face the struggles set up by my storyline to add emphasis to my characters. Also to use simplistic storylines.

In the social realist genre, editing tends to focus very much on continuity and creating verisimilitude through long-held shots, often stabilized hand-held shots, sometimes similar to a documentary style. Therefore I emulated these techniques in my own work. For social realism, it was vital that I established a credible mise-en-scene with costum...

Post-Production Sounds

After filming quite a bit of my film I've started edited! However, I need to find uncopyrighted music. Looking on websites such as: -   freeplaymusic.com   I couldn't find anything fitted to my social realist theme. - AudioNetwork.com  I found some background music that could potentially be fitted to my film named Intrepie Hi by Kevin Macloud and Bitter Sweet by Kevin Macloud. - EpidemicSound.com  I looked at songs with lyrics that could be fitting to my storyline, they were called 'Youth is Wasted On The Young', 'Won't You Save Me' and some without lyrics like 'Sad Drama 4' and 'Chasing Peace 03'. Also However I looked at recording my own sounds as some are easier to get hold off, like a clock for my waiting room. I recorded my own clock and imported to sound into the movie.
