The Lunar Calendar Research

From researching the lunar cycle for this year, it shows that 28th of June is the next time of the full moon.

The rest of the filming can be done on any up coming days.

There is an interesting choice of clothes made that the three m...

This dulling down of colours also help to reflect genre and emotion through the film, a drama with feelings of being trapped inside a dull town where he can't truly be himself. As well as this, the duller, greyer colours used make the makeup and clothes Connor wears when does dress up stand out more. Although the film is set in modern times, this grainy quality gives the film a more 90s or early 2000s ambience. I thought the film's narrative and quality was fairly similar to the film "Billy Elliot".
