Lighting

To make the different scenes look as realistic as possible, lighting is a very important element through out the opening sequence of the crime drama. For this reason, the following different lighting styles have been carefully selected to obtain maximum marks in the crime drama.
For the murder scene, it will be a dark and gloomy setting.
For the happy couple scene there will be really bright lighting, as the scene will be shot during the day, to emphasis the happiness the couple is sharing.
For the flash backs during the opening sequence, there will be yellow/brown scenes and black/white scenes.
During the chase, it will be shoot during dusk, so a semi-light setting, starting quite light and ending in a dark scene to emphasis the amount of hope the characters are feeling during the chase.

Music/Sound

As the one in charge of sound in my group, I will be stimulating reality by adding series of different types of sounds and music to each scene.

• Heavy breathing
• Footsteps
• Dialogue
• A car screeching
• Phones ringing
• Filing, papery sounds
• Fast, upbeat music
• Adulthood - bashy (get away music)

Costume and Props

The costume of each character have been designed to look as realistic as possible, yet still allow the audience to identify the type of person each character is just by analysing their costumes through designs, colours, etc.
The criminal shall vaguely wear the same through the many different scenes he is in. Faded jeans with an old t-shirt to show he goes not care much for his appearance and that he is in a tough situation i.e. the chase scene.
The victim shall be in fake, designer labels e.g. jeans and a jacket to show how he care about his own appearance, yet there is something amiss with his character.
The girlfriend of the criminal will be wearing casual clothes yet well dressed in red, to show passion, yet a dark, alluring side to her character.
The police officer shall be dressed in semi-formal clothes e.g. jeans with a white shirt.
The child (of the police officer) will be dressed in light blue and/or white to show off their innocent, pure nature compared to the situation she has been born into.
The gang member shall be dressed in street clothes, e.g. hoodies, all of dark colours.
The office workers shall all be dressed in smart wear, e.g. suits ranging browns, greys and blacks.

Very few props will be needed for the crime drama.
A getaway car
Baseball bat
Radio/walkie talkie

Locations Part Two

As we, as a group are still discussing different locations to shoot the perfect scenes for our crime drama, I've put up some examples of run down areas where the actual chase can be filmed.

This area would be ideal for BEV of both the Police officer and the criminal. It looks pretty run down, light, and empty, so we would not be disturbing any of the public whilst filming this scene.

This photograph is of stairs and barriers, perfect for filming the criminal whilst he is trying to escape the police officer.

This could provide a interesting location to film in, as it would provide a different kind of setting, what with the graffitied walls and canal (both pictures).

The Cast

Our Group consists of;

Locations

In our group we have discussed many different possible locations in which to shoot our opening scene to our crime drama. As none of them have been confirmed yet, we have finalised these few ideas for the different scenes in hope they look as realistic as possible.

The main scene in the opening sequence; the Chase will be focused in the Lozell area. this scene will be done in alleyways, and/or a park. Hopefully, the scene will be shot near barriers, fences or other objects to make the chase that till bit more exciting for he audience to watch.

The Police flash back scene maybe shot in either a neighbourhood office, the JCC Staff room or the technicians office.

The Criminals flash back scene to 'happier times' will be shot in a park, on the inside of the house or even out shopping in the local area.

The Criminals flash back scene to the cheating scene will be shot in a low lit bedroom.

The murder scene is not really an issue. As this will consist mainly of extreme close ups, this scene can be shot almost anywhere.

The Police officers personal life flash back will be shot at the entrance of a house. Stairs will also be included in this shot.
