MARCUS GREENE
Marcus Christopher Adam Greene. Date of Birth 12th July 1987
INSPECTOR ROBERTSON
Mr Greene, as a previous offender and a man who only 2 months previous got released from prison, why were you involved in a police chase after the death of a young woman?
MARCUS GREENE
No comment.
INSPECTOR ROBERTSON
Bit suspicious don’t you think Mr Greene?
MARCUS GREENE
No comment
INSPECTOR ROBERTSON
Where were you on the night of the 14th October 2011?
MARCUS GREENE
I was with friends, out and about. You know how it is.
INSPECTOR ROBERTSON
How exactly ‘is it?’ that a young women gets murdered then, Mr Greene?
MARCUS GREENE
It’s discrimination, just cos’ I have been in prison before, youse are adding 2 and 2 and making 5. It’s easy pinning this on me.
INSPECTOR ROBERTSON goes into a file and gets out a piece of paper, he reads from this.
INSPECTOR ROBERTSON
2002, burglary. 2005, car theft. 2007, assaulting a police officer. 2010, assaulting a police officer. 2010, assaulting your girlfriend. Not a great track record, Mr Greene.
MARCUS GREENE
Those are irrelevant to this crime, Inspector, and my past ain’t great, I accept that. But I ain’t no murderer. Especially to a girl I loved...
INSPECTOR ROBERTSON
So you accept you had involvement with Miss Russell, agreed?
MARCUS GREENE
Yes.
INSPECTOR ROBERTSON
Then, for a relationship, or ‘agreement’. How did a 23 year old women end up dead, sir?
MARCUS GREENE is visually distressed at this point, and stands up, and aggressively shouts at INSPECTOR ROBERTSON
MARCUS GREENE
I loved her, and this, all of this, was an accident, I didn’t plan it and you, sitting there in a cushy job, nice suit, money rolling in. You don’t understand, you never will. I didn’t mean to hurt her.
MARCUS GREENE is visually distressed and slumps over the table, sobbing, his anger has turned to guilt.
INSPECTOR ROBERTSON
That will be all, Mr Greene. Recording finished at 17:07.
Ends.

Preliminary Task - Planning our film
Planning our film
During
the preliminary task, different roles were allocated based on the different
skills of the individual. Me and Robert did the camera work and lighting making sure it was appropriate to the quality we wanted to prove we had.
Connor acted due to him doing A - Level Drama and having experience in that
field, he played the criminal. We recruited Mattie who also does A – Level
drama as we wanted another skilled actor to play the role of the detective. I
volunteered to do camera work and lighting because I believe I have a good eye
for that area and we had already found skilled actors to play the roles we
needed. Robert also did the camera work and lighting as he is very good with
technology and he knew what he was doing. It was very beneficial having two
people on camera duty and lighting because it meant we could be efficient and
had a second opinion on all shots we took. Connor fitted the role of the
criminal very well because of his experience in drama, he used brilliant facial
expressions to portray the scared, emotional criminal we wanted in our film.
For the
initial ideas, Me, Connor and Robert all had input and Connor came up with an
excellent script which depicted our idea perfectly. We sort of knew what kind
of plot we wanted to film, we figured an interrogation would be the best way
use alternative camera angles and play around with the script.
For the
storyboard, myself and Robert worked together on it. From the script and our
initial ideas, we created a storyboard which showed the basic camera shots we
used. In this storyboard, I described the lighting, camera angles and the
action that was taking place. Although we didn’t use many of the different shot
types I believe we used a sufficient amount to display our keen eye for angles,
lighting and our camera ability. I was the one to draw the storyboard using basic
drawings to show the camera angles we used.
