As a little group trip me and my class went to watch made in Dagenham by Nigel Cole This film was very creative, interesting and made me really think at the end of it. It tells a story about the fight/protest the women of the car company ford in the 60’s had to go through to get equal pay betweem men and women.
The film was actually shot in the dagenham ford factory, and we also found out that a lot of the locations were found based on luck. Overall I learnt about a lot about film making and the detail in character building. he taught us that each character has a way of being that should be followed through so that even though they are not main, or always seen we know the kind of person they are, because every time we see them they do things which reflect their character. he also said that by adding little clues it will help build a character motivation. for example, Lisa is known as the outrageous one because of all the things she does, and we kind of expect her to do some of these things too.
At the end of the film we got to meet Nigel Cole himself... ask him questions and discuss the film. Nigel Cole explained to us that the film was originally meant to be called ‘we want sex’ but due to some out-ruling about the name being to expicted and can not be advertised on bus sides and newspapers ect... in Brittan the name was changed to made in Dagenham, however in other countries such as France were the film has also been released it is called 'we want sex'.
The film was also released in other countries like Finland and Spain etc. because these, just like Brittan also have trouble, getting their films known and accredited worldwide, so it’s kind of like a companionship; others because some of them are still facing non-equal rights in pay between men and women.
