A FOOTBALLMy short film is based purely on the sport football which means

that obviously my main character will be using a football throughout my short film, in this particular case I have decided to use a yellow and blue Mitre football because it is a replica as to what the English football leagues use in professional football and also the colours of it stand out a lot more when filming compared to if I had used a black or even a plain white ball.

It gives my film a professional look however in addition to this the ball has also worn after it is used this gives a sense of authenticity to my short film because it shows how everything Is being used it isn’t only being used in the short film itself.

FOOTBALL BOOTSThroughout my short film my character is using a pair of blue

Puma football boots, this is because he needs them to play football to his best ability, it also shows the audience that he has all the equipment required to be the best however he just needs to become mentally and physically strong and he will get there.

The boots are blue and really stand out, this symbolises my main character because they do the job however when they walk onto the pitch they stand out even more just like my main character does.

I have also shot the boots on their own which also symbolises how iconic and important they are to any football fan and football player.

CONESMany scenes in my short film feature cones, this is because my

character is dribbling the ball through them which shows the audience what good ball control my main character has.

Furthermore dribbling through cones is one of the most used ways to improve a footballer because when they are training cones can be moved closer together meaning there control has to be a lot better which would ultimately improve them in a match day situation, which contributes to the whole idea of my short film because he has to train more and more to reach where he wants to be.

FOOTBALL GOALSFootball goals are something which feature heavily in my short film this is because they can symbolise what someone like my main character can achieve, this is because scoring a goal in a football match is one the best possible things which you could do so if towards the end of my film my character is scoring a lot of goals it shows how he has developed and will be able to reach the top because he is scoring a lot of goals and achieving the best achievement possible. Some of the goals which are featured in my short film use a net whilst others don’t I have tried my best to utilise the net because this also makes the goal scoring a lot more impressive.

SPORTS DRINKSSports drinks such as Lucozade and Water feature in my

short film because they are something which every athlete needs, they are very minor however by drinking a branded drink it supports the idea of how my main character wants to replicate his idols fairly similar to the way his branded clothes do because Lucozade especially is a drink which all the top athletes drink and this would be expected from someone who is trying to reach the top.

FOOTBALL PITCH MARKINGSThis is a prop which was just added to my short film when I arrived to film, however they really benefited me because they again add a element of authenticity and professionalism to my short film because it makes it feel like my main character Sam is actually playing on a real football pitch when he is training however in reality it is just a large patch of grass marked out with paint. I have also taken images of this particular prop because they are something which my target audience will be able to instantly engage and connect with when they are reading my poster or magazine article.
