Plot has been decided!!!!!

During our lesson today, we went over all the possible plot ideas, linking them to locations, actors, props and equipment that would be needed etc. We had three initial ideas, one from each of us. The idea all of us liked the most was my idea (also the very first post on this blog http://studio101hna.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/blog-post.html, but we quickly decided this was not very feasible in terms of location choice and number of actors. Aidan and hazel then came back today with ideas of their own, Aiden’s' including a hostage theme, and Hazels' a drug heist. We all agreed both ideas would be perfectly do-able but we wanted something a little more original and slightly more complicated, within reason.

After looking around school for locations, and at the auditorium for lighting and possible use of the green screen, we were still hanging on something better. Taken from doing a lot of research on Martin Scorsese, I wanted the use of light to be highly significant in our opening. Looking at the auditorium, we went through the possibilities with the lights in there but soon decided, the stage would make the whole production look highly unprofessional. With about half the lesson already gone, a decision needed to be made fast as we could see we were starting to fall of schedule. I quickly looked at a few more thriller sequences on www.artofthetitle.com trying hard to come up with another idea. Then, thinking of both hazel and Aidan's ideas and with inspiration from Sin City and Momento I came up with a plot which we all agreed on and quickly became excited about. We showed the idea to Miss Hill, who gave us some extra pointers on how to shoot it (possibly a film noir twist). The full plot will be coming soon in another post from me!! SO EXCITED NOW.
