Locations

Our original plan was to film in and around leeds, however with days getting shorter as we moved to winter, we decided that our best option would be to stay in Ilkley.

I wrote the story board, and we altered it here and there to come up with the final product, from here we then decided which locations best suit each shot.

We decided on Spooners as our main location, this would however require gorilla style filming, whereby you film without permission and it may involve trespassing but we feel this is worth the risk, as the location suits out opening perfectly, and it is local.

In terms of other areas, we just filmed within the radius of Spooners, this way we didn't have to walk to far with our equipment and could film within lesson time.

Story Board

• As preparation for our shoot, we divided up roles, and I was given the job of creating the story board.
• I came back to lesson with a completed story board, however I said I was open to new ideas and that I am happy to change parts to what the group thinks would be better.
• We made our alterations and came up with the finished story board.
• From this we have created the shot list and call sheet, and also decided on locations which would best suit the shot.
• In terms of filming, we have stuck to the story board as best as possible. We have added in extra clips to help the flow of the film intro, and changed the opening shot to something we can realistically do.

Pitch

How did it go?

I personally think it went well, I had a few hours preparation within my lesson in the run up to the pitch, which I used to edit my background footage, time everything to my pitch, for example with text on screen, and time it so I have enough time to explain it while it still being on screen, this was achieved by a trial and improvement method.

Was it Successful?

I think that my pitch was successful. I managed to get my point across, and answer questions from my classmates and my teacher. Along with this, the idea I proposed has also been incorporated in our film, The Brief. We have combined our free running ideas and the training, which will be achieved by the use of a match cut. I am very happy with the current outcome, and the development of our idea, and excited to see how our shots come out.

What would I do differently next time?

Incorporate more information relating to the camera shots and angles, rather than focusing on just the idea, focus on all the camera shots, and go into detail on why, and what effect this will then have . Spend more time thinking about costume. And finally perhaps lay out my background video differently, to give a clearer overall view about my idea.

Pitch Video

This is the video I played in the background of my pitch. I based my pitch off the background video, rather than scripting it, as it provides a clearer overall view on what it's about and where things will take place. One of the main difficulties was timing it to perfection in order to provide myself with enough time to explain while the shot was still on screen.

The Brief: Screen Play

The protagonist is seen stood central in the frame at a high angle and extreme long shot. In a crowd of people in a busy urban area. There is non-diegetic heartbeat audio that builds suspense. The camera zooms in frame by frame in time with the heartbeats to the protagonists hand - who is holding a bag. 

The protagonist raises his hand to his ear as if he is receiving information through an earpiece. A non-diegetic woman's voice is heard.

The Woman: Agent Cross? Agent Cross, an enemy hostile 6 o'clock. Get back to HQ now!

Protagonist drops his hand and non-diegetic fast paced music begins. The protagonist sprints towards an alleyway with the unrevealed antagonist following closely behind. There is a low angle shot of the protagonist sprinting towards the camera, as he sprints over the camera and passes the camera, it cuts to him sprinting away from the camera in a different location and in training form.

The chase continues to a large field where a first person camera will be filming from the antagonists point of view with the protagonist a few metres ahead. A steady tracking shot of the protagonists feet with a shallow depth of field to still keep the antagonist in narrative enigma.

The protagonist jumps and climbs a wall where it match cuts to a wide armed pull up in a gym scenario with a shallow depth of field. The protagonist gets cornered in a industrial area and there is an extreme close up, shot reverse shot between the two character's facial expressions. The protagonist drops the bag and as the bag hits the floor the screen goes black for a second. The antagonist looks in the bag, then looks up slowly, moving from the camera in the bag to a go pro (first person camera) and realises the protagonist has fled, it then cuts to a close up of the protagonist looking over his shoulder while on the bridge above the train station, with the camera stopping and watching the protagonist walking away over the bridge.
