Louis Theroux - Trafficking

In order to further my understanding of the theme of prostitutes, our group watched a Louis Theroux BBC documentary on Trafficking. Although it was filmed in America, many of the ideas and reactions to 'pimps' we agreed would work well with our idea.

Interesting Quotes to consider in our own piece:

"Sometimes they can go and come as they please, depending on the provider."
"That's my daddy he takes good care of me."
"Do you give him all the money you make?" "100%"
"If they say no, it's no."
"Is he physical?" "He can be if you're out of line, if you disobey him."

"Veteran girls out here will spot what they call a renegade which is a girl that's just out here on her own, and either physically attack her or try to coerce her into you know, coming into their family."

"I couldn't wait to put that money in his hand because I knew I was going to get praised."
"Obsessed with me."
"She still felt attached to."
"Wherever you want, to HEAVEN."
"I don't have what he wants so he's not going to be pleasant about it."
"He'll like beat the shit out of you."

PIMP - "If I knew she was 15 I would never have got involved with her."
"Of course i'm getting all the money."
"Yeah I give them some money" "How much?" "Nothing!"

"She wanted to stop working and you pressured her and said 'you haven't made enough money yet'".

"I don't want you to die."
"He punched me in the mouth."

"A need to feel valued and shown love."

In our final piece, we intend to incorporate the real life ideas that are presented in the documentary such as what the women wear, how they react to their pimps and other women in the same place as them and the certain situations that these women can find themselves in.

Iconic Directors

Image
Ken Loach  We were particularly inspired by Ken Loach, who directed the award winning social realism film 'I, Daniel Blake' focusing on the theme of unemployment. He is known for his naturalistic, social realist directing style and his socialism approach in his films. Ken Loach uses a socially critical style in which he brings up current social and economical problems, branding him an iconic social realism director. Other issues that Loach has covered in his independent films are topics such as poverty ('Poor Cow', 1967) and labour rights (The Navigators', 2001). During his early years, Loach's films were less successful and recieved criticism and some political censorship. However as his films got accepted more, he began to create more and become more well known for showing the harshest sides of society.  Andrea Arnold Andrea Arnold is another iconic social realism director and directed the BAFTA winning 'Fish Tank' film which we have...

Final Theatrical Poster Ideas

Image
These are the top two posters as part of the promotion package for our film: We chose this poster as it fits with the conventions of real media products and the addition of film festivals compared to the other posters adds a level of authority. The image chosen shows a young girl smoking, immediately making the audience question the film and bringing about themes of innocence and vulnerability as well as harsh themes. The title of the film is bold and a lot bigger than the rest and the poster contains credits, making it look professional. We also chose this poster as one of the top two as it highly inspired by the 'London to Brighton' poster and follows the same format as the theatrical poster for the film. The fragmented images give the audience some ideas of the action and the scenes that are seen in both the trailer and the film. The colours chosen for this poster fit the colour palette extremely well and closely and by adding quotes from well known critics and...
