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.
