The Rose

The symbolism of the rose is that it is our villain's calling card. It will provide us with a nice opportunity to use a graphic match with the evidence board.

Costume and Character Research

Here is an example of what we would like our protagonist to look like:



This is Commisioner Gordon from Batman. He wears lighter colours (not black) whic shows he is not on the dark side and, therefore a villain. We wish our character to wear braces as Gordon does, because this is a typical dectective image. He looks kind but ready to work as he is wearing office place attire. He also wears glasses like our character. In conclusion we would like our protagonist to look a lot like the picture to the left of a famous fictional policeman/dectective.

Pleased!

I am pleased that our project is now back on track after our location setbacks. The new idea is simpler, but still has the same level of tension and impact. We have included lots of different techniques which should help us gain marks. We should also have no problems with location as it is at Nick's house. Fingers crossed our problems are behind us and we shall be able to push forward and create a masterpiece of filming.

New Idea Reflections

Although I was very fond of our previous idea, 'The Streets Run Red', due to location difficulties we have had to draw up a totally new idea. 'The Case' is a lot simpler than its predecessor, but this could work in our favour by being easier to produce. There should be no obvious problems with the location as it is Nick's house so everything looks in place. Overall I am very pleased with this new idea considering we thought of it in one evening.

My Vision

I would ideally like our opening sequence to emulate the one from 'Seven' in respect to the music and titlees. Not so much focusing on the images and montage sequence.

Chase Scenes

I believe that if we include a brief chase scene in our sequence that it should not be so much of a running around frantically chase, but a more controlled brisk walk. This will add suspense and also be able to film. A similar sequence to what I believe we should aim can be found in more espionage films such as James Bond and The Bourne Trilogy. An example is the first 3mins 10 secs of this clip from Casino Royale (2006).

BLK feedback

Simon, can you link your prelim sequence to your evaluation, please?

Also please keep up with your Stage 1 posting - you need to show how the project is developing from your own perspective. What you have so far is fine, but try to avoid long-ish gaps between posts.

Please see the main blog posts for advice on how to proceed with your individual blog if you're not sure what you should be doing.

Film Soundtrack Ideas Inspiration

I felt that the type of music displayed in these clips would suit the atmospheric and dark feel to our film.
