New idea!!!

Me, Nick and Simon have gathered at Nick's house and are waiting for Daniel to arrive. We hope he got my blog post before he left for Enfield. We have successfully adapted our idea to a more workable location which involves the inside of Nick's house and a really good alleyway which is just behind his house. Things are looking much more promising and we are all a bit more optimistic instead of being completely depressed.

We were unable to use our previous location which was perfect for our idea and it left us stuck as we needed to find a new location which worked with our idea.

At the moment we are re-storyboarding and talking through the idea, making sure it's clear in our head. We have decided that it's not wise to do filming this weekend and are going to plan through the idea in a lot of detail so that next weekend everything will hopefully run smoothly

We have done a reccy and tested some lighting in key locations of our story. We also tried out our main character with the actor and will do a post on him soon!

We thought it could work very well in a thriller type film to add suspense by using some very calm classical music as contrapuntal sound. For this we had the idea of using the first movement from Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 14 in C# Minor. It is a very calm relaxing piece and would therefore give a sense of contrast to the visuals adding tension. We have consequently decided to scrap the voice over as it no longer works with the style or mood of the film. We have however stuck to the detective/killer aspect.

We made some props for use in the office scene like some polaroid pictures and evidence for the detective's desk. We will upload posts about this separately.

Very sorry to Daniel who didn't get our post. If you read this and the following few posts to come hopefully the new idea will become apparent.

Matt, Nick and Simon
