Final film opening

Classification certificate

We thought that it would be a good idea to quickly put together a classification certificate to make our film opening look professional and to make the audience feel like they are watching it in a cinema.

I saved a picture of a ready made BBFC certificate and put the image in photoshop to remove to name of the film, names and age rating and replace them with our own title and names.

Character Profiles

For our film we have only two actors that play one character each,

Rebecca Blackledge: Will be playing a young women in which the audience will not know much about but the story behind this women is that her mum passed down a key that has been past down through the generations and she herself does not know the importance of this key which makes her oblivious to the up and coming danger that she is about to be the victim of.

Conner Bradley:Will be playing the assassin of our film and again the story behind him will not be made clear because it is only the opening.
This characters profile is very typical secret assassin, he has been hired by a organisation to obtain a object which is a key that the women wears around her neck, neither of characters know what this keys purpose is  but all he knows is that he is getting paid a lot of money for this key.

Props and Costume

We have thought very carefully about how we plan to dress the actors which are myself and Rebecca, we want the actors to look exactly right for there roles and make sure that they portray there given social classes.
Costume
Assassin: The assassin will will be dressed in smart business like where which includes trousers, white shirt, black tie, black leather shoes and a grey double breasted coat. For a couple of different scenes he will be dressed more casually dressed in a jeans but still wearing the white, shirt, coat and shoes.


Victim: The victim will be dressed in casual around the house clothing which consist of jeans, t-shirt, cardigan and in a few different scenes when we are outside she will be wearing shoes and a coat along with the same clothing. 


 Props

·         blue Audi

      necklace with key on

·         kitchen knife from knife block

·         plate

·         tea towel

·         blanket

·         iPod

·         mobile phone

·         chips

These are the main props used throughout the clip, however our film is set in a modern day detached house which is full of usual house hold items and furniture.

Setting

The setting will take place at Rebecca's house, we have chose this location due to the fact that it is a very upper class looking house in a peaceful neighbourhood where it would be perfect for a hideous crime to take part.
There are other locations in which we are planning on filming at which consist of a local pub and a park, these shots will be scenes from the chase/following scenes.

This is the house that we are filming in, its very upper class looking house and has the exact look that we where looking for.

Final Ident

This is our Ident that we will be using for our film opening, Its a very simple ident because we did not want to spend to much time focusing on the ident so we put together a comical freeze frame ident for the audience.

Ident Story

Storyboard

This is our new storyboard for our ident, we made this one due to the lose of a group member. We decided to make the ident like this because it contradicts our whole film which is what we wanted to do with the ident to add a unpredicted twist to the start of our film.

Three act structure

Three act structure

Act 1, in the first act of our movie opening we will have a mysterious man breaking into a house which makes it clear to the audience that this man is clearly a criminal of sorts but are yet to find out his main crime.

Act 3, we will introduce a women to the scene and a key necklace, the man is now inside her house and is looking around for not only a weapon but the key. He finds the key around her neck and goes at her with the weapon.

Act 3, the man has attacked the women and taken the necklace, the closing shot will be of the women appearing to be dead but is left unknown as weather she is dead or just unconscious.

Who, What, Where, When and Why

Who, What, Where, When and Why

Who are the main characters?

The main characters in our opening film will be a young women called Anne, she will be playing the rightful owner of this key until it is brutally taken from her. The second main character will the hired hit man who has been paid by a very powerful man (who remains unknown) to set out and find this key to bring back to his employer.

What is main storyline?

We played around with a couple of ideas when we where planning but the one we chose was a simple action, adventure thriller genre movie smilier to a Lara Croft film. In this opening it will start with a confusing but logical entrance to bring the audience in and wanting to know what is going to happen and where this will lead.

Where will our filming take place?

The location we have chosen to film in will be Rebecca's nans house, we have chosen this location due to the sort of house it is which is detached, open and old looking on the outside.

When will we start filming?

It has been hard for our group to arrange a exact date for the filming of our opening scene due to busy time tables and out of school plans but we are hoping to start recording early march.

Why?

Everything that we have planned all has a reason and purpose which means that if we follow our plans and ideas it will go to plan and hopefully be able to come together and create a descent opening to out film. the reason why we have chosen this storyline is because its a rather simple idea but where it lacks storyline we are hoping to make up with it by using camera angles to make it a more thrilling movie.

Logline

The Key By Conner Bradley We chose the working title "The Key" because it has a action thriller sort of ring to it. The title fits well with our screen play because the whole purpose of film is about this mysterious key that people want what it unlocks. Log line The Key is a action based thriller starring Rebecca Blackledge as a young defenceless women who has been given a key in which has been left behind for her, also starring is Conner Bradley a hired man sent to obtain this key and what it unlocks with any means possible.

Mind map

This is our mind map of all the ideas that as a group have come up with, from these ideas we have successfully put together a story board of our film and have our final idea to start the production stages.

Methods

Story board

This is our draw up of the story board that we be following in order to make our film how we want it to look.

Our initial idea

After doing the mood board we have decided to stick with the crime idea, we are playing around with the idea of a man breaking into a house and taking something but not letting the audience know what exactly the purpose of the object that the man has taken.
We also like the idea of the man following a women back to the house in which in breaks into, when the man breaks into the house we then go to a series of shots where he is walking through the house to find the women.
With these basic ideas we can work off these ideas and turn them into more advanced ideas to turn the basics into our film opening and be able to create a really successful film.

Mood Board

This is our mood board which we threw together to show some of the ideas that we will be trying to capture in our film.

You can see that its very crime related, we have gone with making this our main topic of the film because we can develop this into a few different ideas and use it as a sort of branch to work off.

The findings

This is a table of the findings that we got back from the questionnaires we handed out.

Questionnaire Template

This is the template of our audience research questionnaire, we have structured our questionnaire to help us gain as much knowledge as possible into finding our who watches the genre of film we have chosen.
