Suffragette production

Pre-production:

- The script was made and re drafted 30-40 times before everyone was happy with it, it made sure that everyone knew what they were doing.

- Costumes and props had to be created to reflect the time period the movie is set in and to create verisimilitude.

­- A suitable location had to be established, in order to film in the British Houses of Parliament for example, Gavron had to gain permissions etc. 

- Makeup artists would have needed to create bruises, blood, broken noses etc for the rioting scenes

- In order to increase the verisimilitude props also had to be carefully considered, there was no advanced technology or modern day items used throughout the movie and instead props from the time period were used for example landlines, iron/charcoal irons and vehicles.

Production:

- Low Key Lighting was used to reflect the intense and dramatic atmosphere as well as the struggle the women were facing.

- Hand held cameras followed the characters which included the audience as it felt like we were a part of the revolution and allowed us to experience this historical event along with these women. 
- Low angle shots makes certain characters appear more powerful 

Post-production:

- Contemporary music attracted a younger audience

- Sound was enhanced for example when they were throwing rocks and breaking the windows which made the scene appear more dramatic and powerful. 
- The soundtrack contains 16 songs
