Current Filming Update

At the moment i have filming from the robbery in the shop and now intend to do more scenes to make the trailer up. Below is an image from part of my filming where the main character is grabbing the money with a knife in hand. I will now start to put these clips together with editing and quick cuts to make it look proffessional and anxious for the audience to watch.

Location

The location of the robbery in my film will be in the shop shown below. I will do similar scenes in this store from all different camera angles so i can then choose from the best angles, put them all together, and most importantly make quick cuts in my trailer to make the audience tense of what is happening.

my current Ideas

I have recently done filming in a shop i have good use of and my main character robbing the store and running off with the money. I have done this from many different angles and i am also planning on zooming in on the CCTV in the back of the shop so the audience can see 4 different angles at once on the CCTV screen. This also makes it look like the thief is being looked over which i am hoping will cause tension. I will soon put this part of the film together and then film the start and end of the trailer.

Story Plot

• A Young male in a lot of debt.


• Asks friends for help but they cannot give him money as they are also penniless.


• Takes action into his own hands as he robs a small shop.


• Takes a kitchen knife in the robbery with face covered.


• Injures the shopkeeper in robbery.


• Gets away with hundreds of pounds from the till.


• He comes clean to his friends as he starts regretting his actions.


• His friends, shocked from what they've heard tell him to hand himself in to the police or they will.


• Will he hand himself in? or do a runner?

Planning - Characters

Where i am at the moment, i am taking time to think about my final story. I wiil need a story line before i know how many characters i will need to act in the trailer. However i have 4 males who are willing to be in the trailer. I am hoping i wont need this many as i will have to rely on more people and this may hinder my filming.

If, when i come to knowing my final story plot, i need actresses as well as actors, im sure i will be able to find some. I will ask some females now just incase this outcome happens.

Planning - Recent Ideas

I will be using Macromedia Fireworks to make my own company logo. The image below is the famous Metro Goldwyn Mayor (MGM) logo. This is just for inspiration and I will hope to create a professional logo.

Also before the actual footage of the trailer begins, several images will be shown such as the one I have uploaded below and the logo that i will create to make the trailer look professional and official.

Planning - Setting Ideas

As yet i have not chosen for sure my settings for my trailer. Over the weekend i am hoping to get out and look at several potential places where i can film my trailer. Because i know that i am going to do a crime related film, i am going to need to use a run down area to make it look more 'rough'.

I will take pictures of these places and post them to my blog as soon as possible.
