See George’s blog post about location and beginning of rushes being filmed.

Since the last meeting, we’ve developed our script further and are discussing our options for equipment – such as steadicams – and certain techniques we can implement into the editing and cinematography of the production. We’re getting closer to a point where we can properly begin filming and put together our project.

I have chosen Arthur Penn’s 1967 crime/drama film Bonnie and Clyde for my textual analysis. The film is set during the Great Depression in America and features the story of small-time crook, Clyde Barrow and a discontented waitress, Bonnie Parker who becomes intrigued by Clyde and joins him on a crime spree of petty theft and bank robbery across the nation. I have chosen the opening section of the film between 2:20 – 7:20. In this scene Bonnie meets Clyde for the first time outside her home after his attempt to steal her mother’s car. To analyse this section of the film, I will be focusing on the mise-en-scene, cinematography and the filmmakers influence, intentions, and visions. The context examined focusses on the historical and institutional factors connected to the creation of the film around the time of its production.
