More location photos.

These images show the different locations we are filming outside of college. These Include a high security building, ginnel and a representative of the stairs to a run down building.

First draft of the storyboard.

These images show the first draft of our storyboard. It is only a very rough start as we were still undecided on a couple of things for instance, locations. From this, lots of adjustments are going to be made as we have changed some of the narrative and added some shots to our piece. This helps us however to do this, because we can figure out how we are going to do certain aspects and the shots/dialogue we need in each scene. Our initial idea was too much like telling the story in the opening which we didn't want to achieve, so we changed it so it appears more like a montage of shots. By doing this, it does what the first 2 minutes is supposed to for instance, establishes the main characters and tells the audience a little bit about them.

First draft of the script

Mid day - Sam in his office pointing at a map on his wall sat in his leather chair music playing from the titles, then fades
Sam: (pointing at map) there. Thats where it is.. (both girls look to one another) go on then.. GO!

Both exit , swap to a shop outside entrance of newbuild. Then, to annabelle going into the toilets, Sasha walking on..

Annabelle: (sharply + quietly ) hurry

*sasha breaking in.. Returning to toilet*

Sasha: got it!
Annabelle; good, right get changed we need to.. (Sam calls) ... Hello?
Sam; what are you playing at ?!? Hurry up!
Annabelle; we're on our way out (leaving toilets)
Sasha; what does he want?
Annabelle; oh , same old same...

Back at the New build entrance with the barriers. Sasha and Annabelle make attempts to walk out but the alarms ring and security discovers that someone has stolen it.

Sasha (Whispers) - quick, get rid of it.

Annabelle drops the memory stick into a persons bag walking into the building through the barriers so they are not suspected as they are checking bags of people walking out. They are now in a deserted ginnel when the phone rings again.

Sasha answers the phone.
Sam: What's happened now? You better not have lost it!
Sasha: Alarms were ringing, security everywhere, we didn't have a choice..
Sam: (getting angry) What have you gone and done?
Sasha: It's in the building, it's in someone's bag.
Sam: What! go find it now! *hangs up*

College location photos

 The above images shows the toilet scene location from different angles. We have decided to use this location to show a character getting changed from their mission and where a phone conversation is going to be held.

The above two images show a different location. We have specifically chosen this location in college because it includes barriers which make it look like a high security, important building which we need for our film. The scene we are going to include this in is where the memory stick gets dropped into someones bag after they have figured out it's been stolen.

Tuesday filming

This shows our preparation for when we start filming on tuesday so we know what to do and what to bring on that particular day.

Questionnaire Feedback

We needed more feedback on our questionnaire so we asked on a different social networking website, Twitter. These images show both me and Annabelle putting it so we would hopefully get a more variety of answers in order to get better feedback.

First ideas - for our script

This image shows the document we did to put our first ideas altogether for our piece. We did this specifically to help us put together our script as we figured out settings, order of events and time of day.

Storyboard practice

This image shows a storyboard I created for a scene after reading an extract from a script. By doing this I gained practiced for drawing the different shots and creating the scenarios we want to have in our own film. This will make it easier when I come to create our own storyboard.

Production logo feedback

These images show that we have each uploaded our production logo to the social networking website Facebook to gain feedback. By doing this, people are able to like or comment their opinion then we are able to make adjustments depending. We have mainly gained positive feedback, therefore we are not going to make any alterations to it.
