1.Brainstorm and decide which Genre of film we are going to plan.
2. We had to use 'The Big Picture' sheets to plan each element of the film.
3. We then had to prepare a pitch that we will then be delivering in our next lesson, imagining that you are an independent film maker and you're trying to secure funding from a Production company.
The genre for our title sequence is 'Crime' we have decided to call it P.I (Private Investigator)
Narrative
Equilibrium > The investigator is asked to re-open a previous case which is normal for him as he does this on a daily bases. However the case that he is re-opening was closed for a reason and not realizing this he starts digging into it.
Problem/Disequilibrium > The people that he is investigating find out that he is digging up dirt on them and trying to take them down so they then try to injure/kill him but each attempt fails.
Action > They then kidnap the investigator as he now knows too much about them and what they do and they try to get out as much information out of him as possible but he does not give anything up. as a result of this they think that they have scared him enough that he will not go to the police and forget about the case so they let him go.
Resolution > However the investigator never looses a fight so he gathers up all the information that he has found and goes to the police and pleads his case ...as you do!
He is then able to bring down a few of the gangsters but as this is a big gang the main gangsters are still out there and realize that they have to deal with him as he did not do as they told him....Which then leads to a sequel...But that is not relevant :)
Character's
There are not many characters in our sequence, we only have to private investigator and the one gangster that he has been asked to investigate.
We have decided that they should both be men so there is more of a rivalry there. We decided that we would want Tom Hanks to be the main character and Jet Lee to be the triad.
Setting
Most of the scenes are shot in dark allies and at night time to give it a more darker feel. There are however some shots that will be in the PI's office to show that he is working on the case and what he has found out and what he has to work on.
Visual Style
We will be using a tilt shot to show the PI's board which has all of the details of the case on it so that he can link things together and so it is easier for him to see what he is working with.
We have also decided that during the whole sequence we do not want to show the PI's face so that we can give him a bit of mystery so all the shots of him will be from behind and some close ups of his hands to see what he is doing and make it more interesting.
