'On location'

|
1. This is where i would shoot the scene where the character in the scene opens the boot of a car with a body and a spade in and he picks up the spade and flings it over his shoulder, then i will freeze frame the picture of a close up of the characters face including the spade in the picture.
I choose this location because its small, and the lighting is perfect for the scene. i will shoot the scene in the dark, but the parking lot lights will add the gloomy look because only some of the lights work so it will make the scene look really good. fig 1.


2. I thought i should add picture of the car into this location post because this car fits into location 1. (see fig 1.) I choose to use one of the characters Black Clio because i believe that the black/darkness interacts well with the story plot/scene. I would of liked a black Land Rover but i could not find one i can use so i decided to use a black car i could get hold off. fig 2.



3. This is the inside location of the office. i will have to work hard to transfer this room into a gangster office set but it is do able. i love this location becuse as you can see from the picture the lighting it perfect to make it dark and gloomy/smokey. I believe i can make this scene look really good.
This location is actually my brothers flat where i am doing most of my filming. fig 3.


4. This is a shot of outside of my brothers flat (office and parking lot scene) i got a shot of this location because i may use a camera angle from across the road of a view of a character entering of leaving the 'office'. fig 4.

Final idea

|
Finally got a idea of a film opening that i am really happy and looking forward to. i got inspired when i watch the opening to Snatch which i will post below. i am sticking with 3 characters and the gangster genre. i now have to draw the thumbnails and storyboard which i am not looking forward to because it wont turn out good.

Snatch opening

Potential characters

|
Over my weekend i thought about who i wanted to cast in my 2 minute film opening. I wanted to use a older cast instead of school friends to add effect to my film. So this past weekend i went to take pictures of two potential people to play in my film.

Craig Powis. Aged 21

Patrick Wintle. Aged 20

(He couldn't stop laughing.)

I have decided to do a Gangster/Comedy Genre film production, so i did this Gangster moodboard.

(analysis below)

Analysis

  • Quentin Tarantino - Kill bill (1,2 and 3), Sin City.
  • Vinnie Jones is a english hardman. Snatch and lock, stock and two smoking barrels.
  • Danny Dyer is like a younger version on Vinnie Jones as in he is a english hardman. Dead man running and The Football Factory.
  • Robert de Niro is known well for being apart of mafia films such as Goodfellas, Analyse This and Analyse That.

Moodboard

I would like to film a comedy but im unsure how i would go by doing that. Everybody does Horror and Thrillers so i dont want to do those genres, i will continue to give it much thought.
