Our sponsorship for our film:

Soon as our film starts there has to a sponsorship of the making of the film so in our lesson we had to come up with a logo that provides this information, this will get more extra marks and also make our opening of a film more professional.

This is what me an Ian came up with:

Because our film was a type of action of action film we wanted a form of it in this section, but then i me an Ian wanted a kind of abstract and professional looking creation so i used paint shop pro to bring out the textures and affects upon these elements. How we came up with the name 'ID productions' is that we looked our our names and my name starts with a D and Ian name starts with and I so ID came to mind straight away and then as we are pro ducting something then i came up with the productions part and then put in the middle as it was the most affective place to put it and people can see what it is.
Also i added lens flares to reflect the image and make it stand out more being shiny and blends in with the crystallized guns.

Will we use this at the intro of our opening film probably about 3-5 second into it.

Slams type and break and walks out.

With this scirpt we are now happy with, it more clear and understanding and cocky resemblements of important links.

New characters for our final piece

Looking at the feedback and now the new storyboard me and Ian have made a close decision to change the cast abit we are keeping the same characters "Smig rogers" and also "Ricky" and "Thompson" its just they need spicing up a bit.
When we were thinking and looking back on the draft of the film we found the character to sarcastic that it didn't make them look or show an intimidating side to them, but the people like the acting and accents.
So looking at our characters this is what we came up with:

Smig:

• Needs a hat - the reason why we need a hat for this character is because it hides his identify as a role model of a character, with smig having red it was good in a way of having the over the top factor but me an Ian wanted a character that only come out of the dark and is very anonymous and we wanted to show the best possibility of the this, so using the hat it will cover the red hair and bring out a more thuggish type of character and change the appearance dramatically.
  

It will bring out this kind of effect in smig and I think make him look more overpowering and the actor has the right outline of body posture after people has said from watching the movie and also the teachers.
I think the clothes are still perfect for this characters maybe try and get a leather jacket though and the glasses are to over the top again and doesn't bond with the new character in stock.

• Accent - It just needs to be a bit more louder and clearer and change the accent to a more kind of strong affect to show off his character intimidation. Also some of the line are too cocky and sound very cheesy so we need to take that into consideration next time as well.
  

Ricky - Ricky is a perfect character but we need him to be more arragessive in his body language like in the storyboard we need close up's of him banging the table or grabbing smig and threating him every time he trys annoy him and keeps nagging him in a stong voice and the eye contact in the draft is perfect as well.

Thomson - He needs to be a lot more argrssive and a mean and clever tough nut which is what we got in stock for our next film, i think the clothes in the last one is more better it just we had the same actor for it so we need a new one so someone who is tall and has a sharp face and strong jesture in body language and size. He going to be like an evil twin to smig and he WANTS this breifcase.

The character should look like this -











So with this new cast is makes the film more hard hitting and sharper in its acting and enviroment of the opening and shows off the film from the very start, more impact and dramatic which will hopefully gives us more marks =).

New Storyline for opening

Me and Dan have now changed our idea for a film opening however keeping the same important components for example the same characters and the same idea of the interigation room and the story revolving around a briefcase and its contents.

The main changes we have made is that the film will be shown cross cutting from the interigation room to the outside action!

We are currently getting all our thumbnails together and will then be getting our dates ready to film , we aim to be completely filmed by the end of next week, giving us the final week to edit and get it right!

(Smig picks up glasses puts them on and leaves.)

Audience Feedback on Pitches:

Looking at people points of view and I'm to be honest impressed with the errors we have made, now it gives me a more in depth idea of what we need improve on.

Looking through the feedback sheets me an Ian found out these issues:

• Ian has been suggested to do Smig due to his appearance
• Don't name the place lutterworth
• Smig doesn't sound realistic due to his name

These are the issues we encountered and what they need to sorted about it, me and Ian came up with these solutions:

Smig in our eyes is a unpredicted character on the acting terms so we have to take this into consideration. So what we decided to do is for me and Ian and me and maybe James act out one scene being the character Smig and then looking back on the errors and see what people think, the problem we think is that if Ian is Smig who is going to be Hunter has he is a big and intimidating character which I think is perfect for Ian.

The second is very easy to fix up all we need to do is to descripe and my by find a gang slang term of the street / town for e.g thug ville or gangstas path etc. So me and Ian need to upload some scene picture and take it from there.

And the last one I like is because people have fallen into our kind of trap, the reason why we called the main character Smig because it is a sort and slick and go under a nickname and sounds thuggish aswel. Also our genre is like snatch action smooth and silk acting and unpredictable character which why Smig is a good name as its unusal and confusing which grabs people attension and is like "who Smig and what is Smig" which me and Ian think is a good technique. Maybe we could say Steve the Smig but then it like.

But overall we are please with these mistake encounters that now we have errors and we can produce them to make them even better and makes the film more successful.

People who are playing the cast.

Daniel Bailey - Smig due to my hair style for a start long red and messy, scatty type, physical outlook so that could relate to background life which makes the stereotype of the character. Also sharp narrow face effective for our main character.

James Buckley - Ricky and Thomson - the team. James has a good use of drama as he does A levels so we chosen him for the off putting character as we called because we know he can pull it off, as he has short cut hair another physical build and a old typed thug looking face he looks perfect for Thomson. Also James as he my friend has many style so if we put a formal outlook on Ricky on him in sure we can pull him off to.

Ryan Harrison - Four finger Jones - Why because he small slim and can look quick the same role as this character in the film, he might not has a good acting role but facial expressions a one line sentences are only needed for this character and as he has ginger hair ginger so it good for this type of character as hes gangsta based so the hair has to be formal or crazy.

Kieran Kirby - Hunter - Hunter we need as a small typed but built character, he has a dangerous face and sharp sentences which stings the audience most of the time, give full eye contact like a hawk and waits for his pray and leaves, and this is why we think Kieran is good for this enrolment.

An open example of a good film opening for our project.

Looking at our main project looking through a various amounts of flim we think snatch is a perfect opening for us.





Looking through the opening scene of snatch the storyline is pretty much the same as ours, all of the characters within the film are routing for the dimond thats worth 24 carrots gold, with our film Smig has a important breifcase with something inside it with what everyone wants. Also looking at the body language and gesters its perfect to take ideas from and to generate withing our acting for the scene, maybe editing it we could pause frame and change the quilty of the picture maybe a added different background using effects such as colour contrast and the names of the characters or a pop arty effect which snatch has used and then role on the clip, with this affect it shows us the charater, the type of flim its going to be (formal / informal) and also maybe a effect on the price procession.

We could do about 20 seconds or maybe 30 off this effect and maybe do a following edit as they use in hollywood editing, this could make the film effective and more successful of telling the story.

Also the costumes that they wear is perfect for what we want to use and represent our styles of charaters, a typical long coat, thug looking, long and posh shoes, ties, and old fashioned jeans. Looking at "turisk" its an perfect element to make our character "smig" to look like and stereotyping him in the easiest way as possible.



Also looking at the diamond it says snatch on it, now the text has a basic meaning "snatch this diamond and be rich" which we could use on the breif case, maybe a pause shot and zoom into the breifcase and look for a definition of it but make it look like the story.

Our setting is really the same as snatchs, streets and runned down places so there no much to really cover and get ideas from, only the lighting is all we need which is in the other decription.

Overall this is an basic mind map of a good start to our project and using the 1st scene we have found a lot of ideas from it.

Our film summary in 25 words. (25 pitch)

Streets of lutterworth, a normal day ... or is it? Smig has a briefcase, the only thing is people want it for a vengeance, but why?
