today we were given the brief for our main task. We have to:
- Film the titles of an opening sequence to a new fiction film, to last a maximum of two minutes
Originally we had used the idea of focusing in on gang culture by arranging a group of teenagers to star in our sequence, following the theme of the films 'kidulthood' and 'adulthood' However due to an altration un the groups and a lack of commitment from our actors, we have merged into a three-man group. We have also changed our storyline and are now following a more simple plot.
Yesturday we took pictures in Oxford of a set of steps which lie outside the Ashmoleum Museum, an doorway which is used as an entrance to one of the university's and a telephone box which is positioned about 100 meters away from the doorway.
Our new plot now involves a young woman is hastily downloading a file onto a memory stick and then proceeds to frantically pass through oxford. Eventually she stumbles across a phone box and makes a call to a very calm man who gives her directions to a near-by car park there he says there is a vehicle waiting for her,Just before she approaches the car, a dark figure appears and then......
In order to portray a stereotypical chiller, we decided to make our main character female. We also want to establish her character clearly by having her in a smart attire to ensure she moulds well into a business environment.
