Casting

Cast
This is Dan, we chose him to play one of the criminals, we chose him because we think he has a mysterious look about him and as he it quite tall we could adapt him to most characters and he's a guy we can trust to be there for filming 

This is Matt, we chose him to play the agent/hero in the film, we chose Matt because not only is he reliable but he has that typical look with his hair and his muscular shape. 

This is Alex, we chose him because he's done some previous acting and was kindly willing to help out with our coursework.

what I have learnt from research.

I have learnt from my research that the public would like the laws of opposition by having one good character against a bad character, I thought this would good to add into our opening sequence because it can creative a baseline to build from to make an actually story.

The public all so like a wide use of cinematography, sound and mise en scene; I found out that if there is more camera movement and quick camera change, we have thought it would be good to use a different number of camera shots from; close up, mid shot, long shot, over shoulder and a point of view shot. these shots all give a different perspective and maybe the different reason and meaning they portray.

we are going to use both non dieagetic and dieagetic sound because we can use non dieagetic with the "PING" from the elevator and dieagetic sound from the car in the car park.

The mise en scene is always important because every item in the shot may have a purpose to be in the shot eg with our CCTV camera in the elevator can be later on in the film. the car is all so an important prop as it is a way of the character to get around and explains how they get from A to B.

Planning opening secuence

Planning
Ideas

storyline

The superhero walks into a lift in a suit with jacket over shoulder, camera shows the lift numbers on ground floor, the camera then cuts to a car driving to through a car park, the camera is then an over the shoulder 'cctv in corner' shot if man in lift, it then cuts to the car parking. then a close up of man in lift putting gloves on and another shot of the numbers of the lift, then cuts to men putting balaclavas on then another shot of man in lift and then cuts to men getting out of car, when the men walk toward the door the lift numbers increase then at the end you hear the beep of the lift and the title of the film 'caught out'.

All parallel action to create suspense,
Lift numbers is a proretic code creating tension.
enigma code creates questions.

Costume

Criminals wear black/dull clothing, hoodies.

The man walks in with the blazer over his shoukder.












The gloves that the man will wear and the criminals will be similar. 
The plain black blazer the man will put on.

Criminals will wear balaclavas.

health and safety


Potential danger
Potential outcomes
Actions to avoid potentials outcomes
Tripping over electrical wirers
An injury could occur by falling over
Can stick the wirers down with duck tape and place sign to make people aware. Appoint someone to make sure that all of the above has been done.
Could get run over by a vehicle 
You may die or other injury could happen
Give notice to people so they know what happen and get people to wear. Appoint someone tell inform the crew and cast that there is a car and to get some off the road.
Having an electrical shock when setting up camera
May have a temporary muscle spasm or heart failure.
To me extra careful when placing fingers and always know what you’re doing and ask if you become stuck. Appoint someone to be in charge of all the electrical equipment.
May get stuck in the lift
Starvation or panicked attack  
Hope not that the lift gets stuck.
Dropping camera
Camera may break. Glass may break and you could cut yourself on the shards of glass.
Try not to drop the camera over all. If you do drop the camera and the glass break.
Weather conditions
As we are filming in the winter, the weather condition may be dangerous; ice maybe on the roads, this can be dangerous when walking and driving.

Place grit on icy patch. Appoint someone to be in charge of gritting all of the patches.
Tripping over the tripod
Tripping may cause falling over and hitting your head and causing head injury
Always be aware of your surroundings.
Fumes from being in the car park
The fumes may prevent an assumer attack if anyone has assumer
Can where dust masks to prevent fumes to be inhaled.

how we our going to approach our target audience.

There are a number of way to approach our target audience;
we can use social networking site, such as facebook, twitter. etc.. we can also go face to face by showing a clip on an ipad then ask them some question on what they through about the clip.

I would ask the following question;

  • what did you think of the clip?
  • what makes you want the rest of the film?
  • which character do you like the most and why?

I can also watch the response as one of the public as they watch the clip and judge the mood and note their response. I will also be taking a note of what happening in the scene this can help us to know what we need in our opening sequence so we can get more people to watch our film.

research of your target audience

  • we aim for male audience that is shy, likes to keep with to himself, doesn't have many friends and the time when he feel safe is when he is in the make believe world of super hero's. he would like the world to become the world  that reads.  he enjoys to read comic's and watch DC films. i can see the priorities of this male is doing all of his work first then dives into the make believe life of super hero's.
  • the target age that we aim for 15-25 with the life style of coming home after a day at school/college and uni not having much to do after doing all there work so they will just want to relax and watch other people lives.
