The Final Cut of my Media Studies Project. I was given 10 minutes of time.
I scored 35/35 for the enitre project(100%). It was scored by one of the chief examiners of Media Studies. Peter Hourigan (CAE)
Inspired by the films of Quentin Tarantino.
Done with little to no budget. (25$ AUS)
And using a Sony HandyCam and Tripod

"Two Hands" comes to mind. So typically Australian.
You don't need expensive lighting rigs. Basic work lights with 'baking paper' as diffusers are quite effective. Loads of tutorials online about how to achieve lighting effects without a budget.
I look forward to seeing your future projects.

thanks for your input. Please let me know how to do lighting without a budget? For my forthcoming projects. To answer your questions about the accents and references. I take a lot of influence from American Cinema and popular culture. (Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction) Gangster films. Aside from Animal Kingdom and Chopper I cannot really recall any Australian "Gangster" films that are reputable in the slightest. Unless your referring to Dirty Deeds...and we all know how that turned out.

An ambitious piece, but not worth the full 35/35 IMO.
I see where you were going but I feel it could have been cut more to keep it punchy. Some nicely composed shots but the lighting let them down in some parts. You can do lighting without a big budget.
Also, why the American accent and references? The Australian cars and cigarettes blow that wide open. Australians make good gangster films too :)
