PLANNING - Risk assessment (Petya)

During our filming process we may face some possible risks so we need to think about what they may be and have possible solutions to prevent them. For example:


1. We should be careful by carrying the equipment while walking so we will make sure that there isn't only one person who carries everything.




2. We should make sure the camera is put properly and balanced on its camera stand.


3. If we are filming outside, we need to check the weather and if it's going to rain or have strong wind, we could re-arrange our schedule and find another possible time.




4. We should still have protection for the our filming equipment in case it starts raining and we didn't know. 



5. If we are going to have another person who we film, we need to make sure he/she doesn't damage the camera due to poor knowledge of the equipment.

PLANNING- Mis-en-scene- Location & Setting (Vicky)


The locations that we will use in our film opening are:
  • An underground station
  • Liverpool Street
  • A dark room 
  • An escalator at a train station
This is a dark room whereby all the violent scenes of the
film will take place. This will be shown for a few
seconds as the titkes appear over it.


The type of underground station that we will be using.
This will be one of the locations used in the film opening.


This will be one of the locations used in the film opening.


We have chosen Liverpool street to be our main location for
our opening. This is a busy place and it fits with our
opening which requires a rushing area.










PLANNING Pitch-Institutional Detail (Tyrese)

Institutional Detail



Type of Productions

The product we will be creating will be classed as an independent film due to the fact that it will be "produced mostly or completely outside of the major film studio system, in addition to being produced and distributed by independent entertainment agencies"



Who will distribute the film?

Our film will be distributed by an independent distributor which is fresh and new and created with the purpose to distribute this film. the name of our distributor is Zack'ary


This is the logo and IDENT we created for our film.


Distribution Techniques: Being an independent distributor often means that you have find independent ways to promote your product the easiest ways is to create social media sites which

Here is our Twitter page dedicated to the promotion of our product
Here is our Facebook page dedicated to the promotion of our product


What other companies are similar to ours?

Axiom Films- This is a distributor similar to our own as it is an independent distributor which distributes UK films






A Film"Axiom" have produced which are similar to our own:


Frozen River

A film distributed by Axiom films which is like our own project is a thriller which has an opening which conveys the fast pace and mystery of a thriller film

Famous director Quentin Tarantino has described this film as "the most exciting thriller I've seen this year" this would lead me to believe that we have made a good choice with our company


Effect of ownership

our group being independent would mean that we could have a bit more control over the titles we have as in our product. despite this we would of course be trying to keep up with the conventions and codes associated with our chosen genre.

(Task 25) PLANNING - Head on activity



From this mood board there are themes of danger, death whilst with class, as there is a lot of black and white, which is a convention of an old classic spy film . Another convention is being set in London as it is a big city, as lot of spy films involve being in a big city.The blurred image represents how the spies would blend into a crowd. The idea of the black outfits to blend as well is a convention of spies.

PLANNING - Head on activity

In the Media Industries directors, producers and writers take time to develop their creative ideas. A 'Head On' is when the initial inspirations and influences that might make some contribution to their final ideas are noted down.

The inspirations and ideas don't have to just come from the same type of media texts, they can come from anything, and they often result in the production of a mood board that establishes the tone, atmosphere, colours and key influences or inspirations that are likely to be seen in the final product and help to develop ideas further.
