The new plan

Scene 1 will be more or less the same as before however instead of being in a car, the convicts friends will be waiting outside the prison to see him, the shots will stay the same however the scene will end with the trio walking out of shot rather than driving off. Scene 2 will now consist of the convict leaving the barbers and getting jumped by his enemies, however rather than them being in a white van and throwing him in, instead they will be walking/running around the corner and surrounding the convict not allowing him to escape.

Changing plans, again

The person who was meant to be playing the driver dropped out at the last minute so because of this we had to change the first scene. We were also unable to get the white van which we needed to we had to find a way to work around that as well, me and Toff spoke about this and then told Jacob the conclusion which we had came to. 

This is a photo of the original story bored we created however just after finishing the writing we experienced a huge problem meaning we needed to change the film once again. Due to this we didn't bother adding photos as we had to start creating a new story bored.

Scene 1 music

The final verse of this song will be used as diegetic music in scene one. I know the artist personally so I asked him if it would be okay to use it and he was 100% fine with it as it will also help him gain viewers of the song.

Changing plans

Here is the written version of our change in plans 

Changing plans

we realised that our original plan would most likely go over the time limit so we decided we should cut scenes which ended up in changing a lot of the storyline as well. We decided to cut scene 2, 3 and 4 and leave the 1st scene and the 4th scene. This means that the scene where the convict first leaves prison and meets up with his friends will be left and the scene where he is jumped and put into a van will be left, however instead of the convict going to his girlfriends house instead he will go to the barbers and get jumped while leaving.

Script ideas

These are the ideas we came up with for scrip of some of the scenes 

Creating music

Due to copy right issues its became hard to use music that we had originally wanted, because of this we all attempted to teach ourself how to use the production software called garage bang. However after remembering i have a friend who is good at producing instrumentals i then asked him if he would be willing to help us. This was his response.

Continuity exercise

Two men (and bodyguard) who are doing a deal. One of them enters the room (match on action) and brings a briefcase/bag filled with money to the other man (two shot) so that he will leave him alone and let him go free, but he nods to his bodyguard and his bodyguard knocks the other man out instead of letting him go and then as he leaves with the money the unconcious person will wake up and look directly into the camera breaking the fourth wall.

Originally this was our plan, however we then realised that we did not have the right props in order to make this work as no one had a police costume. therefore we decided that we would do meeting in which someone is given money in a briefcase. using shots such as match on action, eye line match, breaking the fourth wall, close ups, mid shots etc and also focus on sounds such as mode of address.
