Planning Task Concepts


 
We've came up with a rough idea of what our introduction task could be of an intensive chase scene as an introduction to an action thriller film. We briefly story boarded a scene outline- the image is below.
 

 
The concept of it is a past paced intro that catches the viewer's attention. With this idea dialogue isn't required- this will save us the risk of sounding issues; and during the chase scenes exciting and interesting angles can be used.
The story board is a first attempt to note down our ideas of what our intro will be and how it could possibly be filmed and planned.
Below is the very first story board we made and drew up. It was only a very early concept that we decided not to continue with hence the large lack of shots. The intention was for it to be the scene of which the chase scene begins starting with a regular conversation then burst into a chase scene but we then all agreed that instead it should begin with the chase scene to help with the pace of an action movie if it starts with a bang.

Here is the second story board I drew- it starts straight into the action and records in more detail the story and actions of the characters. This we liked more as it better kicked off the intro to the film and drew in the audience's attention. But we decided not to follow with this because we felt the story ended to abruptly.

The third concept we came up with was pre-planned and discussed this storyboard and are happy with it as an accurate plan for what we intend to do.

Location Consideration


Location Consideration

 
 
For our film introduction many things must be considered such as: script, casting, acting, props, location, etc. At this moment I have been thinking about possible locations where filming could take place, weighing up the advantages and disadvantages and hopefully decide on the ideal location that best suits our needs.
 

Birkenhead Park

 
The first place to be considered is Birkenhead Park, a reasonably popular destination for people to visit and go to and an iconic location in the Wirral.
 

Advantages

  • It's is an iconic location and nearly instantly recognisable and therefore relatable
  • It is a massive park that can provide a huge variety of options when planning and filming
  • the park is fairly popular so people will be there, if caught on camera it could give a sense of life to the world and location in the film
 
 

Disadvantages

 
  • Due to the amount of people who visit the park regularly being able to film without being disturbed is an ambissous hope
  • If people in the background are caught on camera, due to the popularity of the park we may need their consent to be able to use the footage- a problem that we could do without
 
 
 

Bidston Hill

 

Advantages 

  •  A lot more exclusive than Birkenhead Park and therefor will not be disturbed nearly as much
  • Due to the remoteness of this location it could help very much to set a mood and feel of isolation
  • This area is an area I personally am extremely familiar with and can get to it in next to no time
 
 

Disadvantages

  •  It's not s recognisable as Birkenhead Park
