Film Opening Task - Main Task Planner

• Log line  (25 word summary) - Two opposing gangs exchange a mysterious briefcase in a shady setting, however, a stand alone hero thinks otherwise.

• Story (Synopsis/Narrative) - Two opposing characters meet to do an exchange of a package unaware of a third opposer ready to steal the briefcase. After the exchange is done, the interceptor chases the dealer for the package and the film opening ends with him catching him.

• Audience - 15 years of age and over because of the thriller genre and the conventions it need to include. 

• Representation - Very dark clothing to keep the mystery around the characters and not informing the audience of who they are or revealing anything about them.

• Sound - Dramatic music (non-diegetic) starting from when the interceptor receives the text, building up the tension. Almost no dialogue apart from at the very beginning when travelling towards the exchange.

• Mise en scene - We will select the appropriate props and arrange the scene in the best way possible to match our descriptions of our scenes and what we want them to look like. 

• Setting/Costume & Props - The setting of our film will be based in an underground car park and the surrounding areas of it, the streets. Also the costume will be suits or smart dark clothing as it makes it more realistic and as if it reflects real life. 

• Acting - We will gather the best actors possible to take roles in our film. We will consider different actors and assess what positives and negatives the have and then choose which ones, making the film more successful. 

• Lighting - For our film opening we want to have low key lighting and this may take time to ensure that we have the appropriate lighting to make sure it looks as best as it can and situational. 

• Camera - We will have multiple camera angles to ensure that we get all the shots we want and to make sure that we have a good variety of shots. 

• Editing - When editing our film opening we will use continuity editing and so the storyline makes sense to the audience and they're able to understand it better. Also, different transitions will be used to add variety.
