Story Board for film

  After taking photos of specific locations i could use, i made a storyboard of the chosen scenes i will use

Influential Videos

  No Country For Old Men uses dim lighting, and the manipulation of sound to create a very tense atmosphere in the scene. As the antagonist, turns the hallway lights off, the build up to the clash feels like a very long time, and is a great use of suspence, in my film, as the atagonist watches the protagonist, i will use the same sort of suspence to manipuate my audience.




 Because most of the conversation will be inside of a car, this scene in Lock Stock shows the type of angles i could use, it is also very fast paced between crosscuts
 the point of view shots from inside Steve Mcqueens car as he is driving, i will use it  to show the gangsters driving round the town
leading up to the task of stealing the child, most of the scene will be watching for him, similar to this scene in scarface, discussing the plan while on the way to it, the use of point of view shots are what i might concider using for my own film.

Location Choices

Wyke College's campus


If all of my other area's fail, due too privacy laws or filming with out a permit. Wyke's campus could also be used as  it also has a  wide open space to film,  good lighting, and at night it is civilian free so that i can film without fail, and can also create the sense of vulnerability as well 

Location Choices

Another place i could use would be  Snuff Mill Lane

the dirt track leading towards a train track is very spooky to walk down, but yet in the morning lots of children on their way to school use it, because of in my sequence its a boy that is getting abducted i could use this route to my advantage because of being used a lot.

the downside towards using this place is that there is no lighting, so i would have to bring artificial light so that  the characters can be seen.

Location choices

The sequence i am filming is set in a groggy suburban underbelly  parking lot or  back alley street. To tie in with the crime thriller stereotype.

Some of the places i could use in my area

St Stevens  underground car park and   Princess Quay car park      

the  dark and dim lit corners of the car park, could be a prime place to shoot my film in, the dark places could  create the feeling of being watched and create a sense of vulnerability in the protagonist  because of the lack of seeing what " lurks in the dark"

Props List

This is a list of Props ( items)  i will need to make my film look convincing



A Car -  Hopefully black, so it can connote a antagonist ( evil) person

Black Clothes- to follow  the  antagonist's car creating the signifier to the audience that these are the bad                         people        

  A ski mask/ balaclava - or even a pair of tights to create  a black humor approach similar to that of snatch or lock stock and two smoking barrels

Civilian clothes - just normal everyday clothes that does differentiate from the mass mainstream public, as  the person that is stolen isn't old enough to  be influenced by niche media

 Mobile Phone-  Used to initiate the use of family ties to spread more fear in to the audience
