Diary of Filming Part 1

To start the process of planning and thinking about what our film would consist of we decided our groups and then immediately decided what sort of genre our film would be. Aaron, Ed and I all decided that we would do an action film as we thought that it would be the easiest to make/produce and would look if we got everything right as it will be fast paced.

As we were doing our blogs in the It room we came with some ideas of where we would plot the film. Some of ideas were that we could do it in the school, go in to Guildford where there were lots of small dark alleys but we all agreed that we would do it by the river Mole in Leatherhead as there were alleyways here and the area is quite discrete working perfectly for our film.

Once we had came up with the ideas for the setting we decided on what sort of costumes and props we would wear. We all thought of the same idea that we needed a weapon of some sort as somone would die. We then agreed that having a briefcase would be a great idea as it gave the audience a dilema as they would not know what was in it. Other prop included a disc which we actually decided to use on the day of filming .

Then we moved on to costumes. I came up with the idea that the hero should wear a smart suit so that the audience falls with him as he is the savior of the day. Ed said that I, the villain should wear just normal clothes for the opposite reason of the hero e.g. so that none of the audience would want the villain to succeed which is the normal stereotypes of villains. Aaron and I said to Ed that he should wear normal clothes as well as he is partly a villain aswell and that this is the clothes that a dealer would wear anyway.
