PLANNING - Pitch feedback and evaluation

 

From this feedback we know that to improve the pitch we could go into detail on the technical aspects, for example, who was filming, what angles.

We also now know that we should have included all of the actors in the pitch.

From the feed back we've decided to change location from Liverpool Street Station to Angel Station as we researched and found out that most people are told to stop filming in Liverpool street station as it is so popular, whereas angel wouldn't be as busy and is larger so we wouldn't get in the way.

Also we have also managed to put in time to film during a 3 hour lesson otherwise it would be a waste, and it would meant that we gad  ore time to re film if anything went wrong.

PLANNING - Final mise-en-scene decisions - locations (Petya)

PLANNING - Half-term planning homework

My ideas for our "Project Scorpio" opening are:
- 4 spies who are connected in the same secret organisation 
- each one of us being a spy and all having something symbolic, such as a scorpion necklace or a scorpion tattoo
- having one character who will be our boss
- having a fighting scene (however, that would be difficult to accomplish as we need to find two people who can imitate a real fighting scene)
- having a scene with all of us in the same room in school and having the text "3 years ago..." to create an interest in the audience of what has happened to us that we became the killers we are as grown ups

For locations I thought we should find more quite and not so crowded locations:

   Firstly I thought about the Greenwich foot tunnel as it looks a bit creepy to me, as well as mysterious.

  There is also a path in Jubile Park in Leyton, which would look good with our plot, genre and actions

I also considered not so quiet places such as the front of Westfield, Stratford or a big station like Kings Cross or Liverpool street station. 

The props I thought are significant for use are:

There are a couple things I considered about costumes as well:

 All black costumes would be significant as black conveys power, elegance, formality, death, evil, and mystery.

All formal and elegant costumes (no ripped jeans or t-shirts or shorts, etc) will convey that we are all grown up people when we are killing the people.

 Casual costumes for the scene where we are in a school classroom and we show how we were 3 years ago

PLANNING - draft of storyboard (Eloise)

PLANNING - Technology skills audit (Petya)

We have learned many technology skills such as how to use softwares for editing, for adding titles over images, for recording and annotating video on a computer, how to create a logo for less than 10 minutes and how to create the Distribution company for a film.
