NO ONE WOULD TELL ANALYSIS

INFORMATION ABOUT THE FILM

No One Would Tell is a 1996 American teen crime drama television film directed by Noel Nosseck from an original script by Steven Loring. The film is based on the true story of Jamie Fuller, a 16-year-old high school student who murdered his 14-year-old girlfriend Amy Carnevale on August 23, 1991, in Beverly, Massachusetts.

BELOW ARE PICTURES OF THE REAL LIFE PEOPLE WHO WERE IN THIS SAD SITUATION:

AMY CARNEVALE

JAMIE FULLER 

This film has given me a big inspiration for our film.. The storyline is different but is all about domestic abuse in it which connects and inspires our project. Although the film is based around a young couple it has the same sense that the guy loves the girl and makes her feel loved but treats her terrible, which is what we also want to portray. An important factor is also that the love takes away her strength to leave him. We will not have a murder at the end of our film and it wont be based around high school kids, instead ours will be based around adults, who are married and seem to have there life's together figured out. An the abuse is new in the relationship, where as in the film the abuse starts right in the beginning.

Drama 

Exploring our Theme

We have decided that we are going to focus on the issue of domestic abuse and how a relationship can start of ‘normal’/‘fairy tail like’ and end in one partner being abused badly. We want to show a woman’s life unravel from being a dream like situation to a whirl wind of violence, hurt and confusion.We understand its a very emotionally difficult topic for a lot of people but we are going to approach the topic carefully and take it very seriously and also we hope in possibility of raising awareness.

MY PITCH

The opening will start off with a couple in their happiest state together, maybe on there wedding day, then it will move on to the husband abusing and controlling his wife, still loving her but treating her beyond awful. Then we see the phone call happen, between the police and the wife, in front of the husband but hidden in a sneaky way.

MILLIES PITCH

A married couple where the husband is a domestic abuser but times weren't always this way. Starts off with showing happy memories of them, their wedding or a romantic meal showing them at the height of their happiness. Moves on to show them at their current stage where he doesn't love her anymore but needs her, she wants to leave him, all she wants is to be loved and to be happy. She has had enough so makes a bold move to put an end to the suffering.

We have reviewed both our pitchs and this is the result we have come to fusing our ideas together:

OUR PITCH/FINAL PITCH

The opening will start off with a married couple in their happiest state together possibly a wedding scene showing the couple had happy days together. The husband has become a domestic abuser but he still loves her and needs her but acts out because he is scared of loosing her. She wants to leave but emotionally and physically cant. She then reaches her breaking point and cant deal with it anymore and makes a bold move to put an end to the suffering.



FILM PRODUCTION LOGO IDEAS AND INSPIRATION

Below I have presented film production logos that are well known in the film industry around the world. I like how most of them seem to represent being bold and powerful. Whether this is used through a picture of a lion or having a high mount and having the title clearly at the top. I found when I analysed them, that in my eyes they are all too simple. My partner and I have chosen to do a topic that is very emotionally difficult and is a topic that needs to be approached very carefully. Also are genre is drama which is very self explanatory, its dramatic, so a simple logo doesn't welcome a viewer into the film. Through a logo you are welcoming a viewer into the type of film the viewer is going to watch, you are showing what type of production company you are, and if your film is being shown just on an advert to another film, you want to make it clear what you are going to portray in that film and other films you would produce. I think these logos are good and have worked for there producers. My partner and I also want to show the viewer we are independent producers and our ideas are individual. Our aim is for our film to be different from everyone else's and I believe you can achieve this by your logo also. Our type of film wont be suitable for a young child so our logo is going to show that our production is going to be bold, emotionally grabbing and based around a real life situation that sadly lots of people live through in there day to day life's. If we were to produce any other films, they would likely be around real life situations, so we are making sure our logo represents our aims and what we want to produce.

So I went onto the internet and researched domestic abuse photographs and I find a photo of the painting below. It stuck out to me straight away, its powerful, bold and reached me emotionally straight away and that's my partners and my aim for our production. This painting has been done so cleverly. It has inspired us to do something similar. To myself this looks like a young girl, and we would aim to do a similar affect but more likely with a face of a woman. Another idea is use a different object, whether that's an animal or a plant or even just a simple everyday object. Then using the same effect of splattered paint forming the feature we choose to use. We haven't decided yet what feature we will use as we want to make sure it represents the dark and sad reality of some peoples life but making sure it doesn't just represent this one production we are going to produce.

After I found this painting for the logo, I went on to find a format of writing for our actual film production title. I explored domestic abuse pictures further and found the picture below. I like how the writing has a shattered effect as it represents so clearly how ones life can fall to pieces. Its very bold and effective and really think this effect is powerful.

I really do believe the two combined would represent our 'production company' extremely well and produces the result I wanted to achieve.
