blog update
We are going to be filming on Tuesday 3rd January 2012, this seems like last minute with us going back to college on Wednesday 4th January 2012. We are filming on this day because we were scheduled to film on Thursday 29th December 2011 but we couldn't due to us having to change location because Tom Riley's garage could no longer be used. Now though we will film at my garage next Tuesday. My garage isn't huge but under the circumstances it will be suffice and mean we can complete our filming.

Filming plan. Roles and responsibilities
Planning of filming roles
We haven’t been able to establish a complete schedule of when we are filming due to other commitments like work which is difficult to get time off due to the time of year. However we do know that we will be filming between Tuesday the 27th and January 3rd. Dates we currently can't film are Monday 26th December, Wednesday 28th December and Saturday 31st December
Roles and responsibilities:
Mark Northcott- Director, Cameraman, Editor
Thomas Ryder- Actor, Editor
Thomas riley- Actor, Editor
Arthur Scholes-Furness- Actor, Editor
We are all going to be involved in the production of the film, as well as this we will all bring props, makeup, costumes we need. Each costume the actor is wearing is their own.
Props:
Mark will provide the rope, the sac (the one to go on Arthur’s head) and the car (my dad’s car which he will drive)
Ryder will provide the fake blood and tape player.
Riley will provide the chair and filming location (we are using his garage)
Arthur will provide the gun and the torch
Blog update
We will start filming after christmas day, this is because we aren't all available until then.
Mise-en-scene
Mise- en- scene
Below is the description of each mise en scene category and explanation why we are using what we are using.
Costume- Thomas Ryder/ antagonist/ Agent Ryder
· Black trousers- which look smart and formal to show knowledge of his character.
· White shirt (with some undone buttons)- the shirt goes with the formal look whilst having the buttons partly undone it shows that Tom will be getting involved with the action
· Black leather shoes- This type of show is formal and expensive to go with the rest of the outfit.
· A large watch to show Tom’s status within the film, also the watch can represent his personally because it shows his expensive life style and that he must be successful.
Thomas Riley/ Antagonist/ Agent Riley
· Grey suit trousers- Make Tom look formal and serious.
· Black shirt (top button undone and rolled up sleeves) - The rolled up sleeves show he is the fighter and not to be messed with.
· Black leather shoes- to complete the formal image we have given to Tom.
Adrian Northcott /Antagonist/ Unknown name throughout
· Black trousers- formal black suit trousers to match other villains to show they are part of the same “gang”.
· Black leather shoes- To match the rest of the outfit and again to make character look formal.
· White shirt-the white shirt is very simple but works for the character instead of a bright green shirt because the character looks more meaningful.
· Black suit jacket- The only character to wear a full suit to show his wealth in the film and shows his success
· Large watch- To show success and for formal purposes.
· Black sunglasses- to hide his identity and to appear mysterious to the audience.
Arthur Scholes-Furness / Protagonist/ Mason
· Grey cotton joggers- the joggers look informal and very ordinary, this can show the vulnerability of Arthur’s character because he doesn’t look out of ordinary and mysterious.
· Polo shirt- This again is ordinary and very casual everyday clothing, this stops Arthur looking suspicious.
· High tops- Casual shoes that suit the rest of the outfit, helps Arthur blend therefore he isn’t suspicious looking.
Props:
· Chair- The chair is significant in the opening sequence because Arthur’s character spends most of the time sitting on it. Used instead of stool because we can tie him to it.
· Rope- the rope is used to tie Arthur to the chair which shows his vulnerability because he can’t pull the rope apart. More realist than string for example.
· Car (Mercedes Benz) - The car is black keeping in with colours of antagonist colour, it can represent evil.
· Tape player- Used to record Arthur speaking and used as evidence in the main part of the film.
· Gun (pistol)- the weapon used to kill Arthur’s character in the opening sequence
· Bag (potato sac) - This type of bag is common ids used in a lot of thrillers for effect, so we want to be in keeping whilst using thriller conventions.
· Fake blood- used on Arthur when he has been hit repeatedly be Thomas Riley, more realistic than ordinary make up.
Makeup: The only make up we use is the fake blood to show realism within the film. None of the other characters have makeup on to show they are very stereotypically masculine.
Lighting:
· Interrogation room- This room will be dimly lit by a small ceiling light (we will use a large torch to create this effect) the light will be directly above Arthur draw the viewer’s eye to him, whilst the rest will be dark to create enigma due to the shadows from the other characters.
· Car- the car will be lit by street lights and passing cars for a realistic night time drive, creates partial confusion because the setting is obvious for the viewer.
· Street- Street lights as well with possibility of security light if nothing in shot is clear. The dim light creates nothing intruding but shows that the equilibrium has been disturbed due to the dodgy events that would look out of the ordinary in the day. And not as realistic. Also we want it to look natural to the scene so nothing artificial.
Location: Tom riley’s garage is been used because it large enough to represent an interrogation room. Also the house is the most remote therefore it looks more dangerous. It creates tension due to the fact that Arthur will have no where to escapes to. The driving scene will be filmed down and around Tom riley’s street due to it not being busy which could be dangerous with a higher chance of a collision.
Actors/ Characters
Actors/ Character | Reason why chosen for role |
Thomas Ryder | Thomas is the main controlling antagonist because he is built for the role and looks like a fighter and more controlling than Arthur. |
Thomas Riley | Riley dresses more formally than Arthur in the film to make him look powerful but not as controlling as Thomas Ryder. This shows that Ryder is the “gang leader”. Riley is used for this part for that reason to appear brutal when really he is under Ryder’s control. |
Adrian Northcott | We chose Adrian because he is an experienced driver and looks very professional when in the characters costume. Also he is very serious which matches the character who doesn’t mess around, this is shown in the opening sequence. |
Arthur Scholes-Furness | Arthur is the protagonist because by his appearance looks very genuine with nothing to hide this suits his character because we want the audience to feel sorry for Arthur and want to help him. |
