My First Post :O
Earlier in the week we looked at a clip from the film Get Carter (1971) starring Michael Caine, and were asked to think about 5 different aspects, (Characters, relationships, location, genre and narrative) and see what we can find about them from the clip.
I'm choosing to focus on location as I believe it's an important area to focus on, and we can tell many things by looking closer at the film. We can tell from the clip that the film's set in an urban landscape; it's got main roads, plenty of cars and is surrounded by high rise apartments and buildings. You can also tell about the film's location by the actors accents. For example, when discussing the clip in class we originally thought the film was set in London, considering the back drop, but also from the two gentleman in the background in the opening scene of this clip, whose accents seem to have a very London-ish feel. However upon delving deeper by the looking at the gentlemen who was killed in this clip (Ian Hendry) , his accent was from somewhere more north, like Manchester, or Newcastle. This is just a few ways to find the location of a film.
Here's the clip-
