Storyboard First Draft

 

Location

Our urban drama will be mainly focused around social realism, this means that we will need to pick our locations carefully. We have decided that our main locations will be Maidstone, Tovil and certain areas of London, this will mean that we have variation but similarities in each location. This can lead to a wider variation in locations as it will give us different options from each one, this will also give us diversity whilst filming as we will have more choice. The only location I have concerns over is a public toilet as we are highly likely to offend someone if we use one that is often used. If we scout for one associated with a sport club we can speak to the people who have the key so that we can avoid offending anyone and we can still include the scene.

Actors

We will only have one main protagonist in this film opening but there will also be several extras appearing to make it seem as though a street is busy. We were hoping to film on quiet streets to avoid offending the public. The actor we have chosen is a teenager that will make the film opening more effective as the audience is more inclined to feel sympathy for the character.

Props

Our props have either been bought or created previous to this blog, our main props will include; the locket, a scrap of fabric o protect it, a sleeping bag and a homeless sign that would have been made. The use of props is limited with our film opening as we want it to be as authentic as possible and have a realism feel. The use of too many props will help us to lose that accurate image we are trying to create.
