Planning

Planning:

Props- We will need a fake weapon which one of us will have to acquire probably from a fancy dress shop; there is one near my location so I will most likely get the fake weapon from the store, we will need a folder with a realistic classified stamp over it we can print one out from Google images, sleeping bag to indicate she’s been on the run, clothes in a pile (female clothes which the actor kim has plenty of) and a big rucksack that she puts her stuff in all these  each of us own a big rucksack so it won’t be hard acquiring the item.

Setting- Thankfully my house is being redone so all the floor has been taken out leaving a dirty temporary floor with tape over it, the walls are dirty and the whole house has parts missing from the walls which will be perfect for our on the run protagonist as she’s on the run sleeping in abandoned locations. We will film in whatever part of my house looks the dirtiest most likely the kitchen and put the sleeping bag on the floor ready to film the scene.
If I cant film there we will try and film in the building next to the college first we will have to ask someone and hopefully they will direct us to the safest part of that place to film.   

Costume- The protagonist will be in ragged clothes we will get clothes we don't wear rub it in dirt and create cuts and holes with scissors in order for effect and make the protagonist wear it along with a big waterproof coat which I Have and also rub it in dirt (we will use natural dirt from outside as that creates a more realistic effect), the assassin will be in a suit with smart shoes neatly ironed, I own a suit so this will be no problem.

Hair and Make up- the protagonist will have messy dirty hair we will get someone to literally scrunch up and mess her hair up and there will be dirt marks on her face to show she’s not clean and on the run we will be using the same format as the dirty clothes and use dirt from outside to create this effect. You never see the Antagonist face just the back of his head which is clean with nicely cut hair we agreed as a group that perhaps I should play the antagonist as I own the suit and have hair similar to the character we want to portray so all I will do is slick my hair back using hair products to make myself look neater.

Sound planning-there is no dialogue in this opening just a tense soundtrack which we will find on YouTube or sound cloud as long as it is copyright free, there will be uses of Foley which we will either create ourselves using a microphone which we will then import into garage band to use our sounds we recorded or just use pre made Foley sounds from garage band itself and a constant sound of footsteps sound bridging from different clips we will be using the sound from a extract of a movie which also does this effect.

Lighting and colour- our opening will be filmed in the dark so a use of lighting will be very important, we will have a direct light source filming directly behind the camera making him easily visible but everything around him will still look dark, in all honesty we aren't very skilled in lighting as we haven't had the same training as we have in the other aspects of the filming industry so we will also ask Sophie or matt (the technicians) to see what other way of lighting in the dark would be good and use their ideas to input them in our opening.

Permission- I will need a lot of permission from different people in order to make this opening, to start with need permission from the technicians to use their camera and their lighting, I will then need permission from my dad or the college to film in either my house or next to the college and then permission from my mother to drive her car etc all these I reckon I will acquire.  .
