Locations, props and costumes
Our opening 2 minutes had to be set in multiple locations which would represent the typical criminal setting and feel, along remembering factors like access to these areas and lighting also. The locations we chose consisted of The Crown Plaza Car Park, The Carlton Le Willows 6h form area and Gedling Village. To film at Crown Plaza, we had to get permission from the manager of the hotel prior to filming which then allowed us to be prepared for the actual filming day.
The main props we used consisted of a bag of flour which was presented as cocaine and money.
The costumes we used were to show the audience that we were still young men, but showed with style. For example, with the shots inside the school, we wore stylish casual clothing in the sense of not wanting to attract un-neccesary attention from police, but still look well dressed. Also, with my shot on top of the car park, my costume changes to a more formal and sophisticated shady look with the long trench coat, shirt and aviator sunglasses. This then presents a more typical criminal costume in British crime films.

Tuesday 28th March
2nd day of shooting and we filmed the torture scene. This scene involved Matt being the man who brought Luke in to be beat up over something that will be found out later on in the story. The 1st person view was being filmed by me instead of Luke.
The New Project (3rd attempt)
After finishing and editing our 2nd project, we were told we were not allowed to use a firearm in our film. This came at an in-conveniant time as before we were told by a teacher before we even began filming that we were allowed to use the imitation firearm as long as it was not outdoors. Also, after being watched by both media teachers, they did not mention anything about the firearm not being allowed until the head of media watched the film and told us we had to change it.
Because of this, myself, Lewis Bacon and Oliver Cobbin decided to do a simple but different opening sequence instead. We got other people involved such as Matt Ball, Luke Morgan, Ethan Walsh and Mark Bird.
The film is about drug dealing, kidnapping and rising to power.
