Initial idea

IDEA

My initial idea was to create a crime thriller. I was thinking of creating a bank heist. It was gonna be like a group of robbers stealing some money from the bank. But we thought that was too mainstream and didnt have a proper location to film a bank heist.

My second idea was to create a heist but this time we were robbing a bank car which was containing books instead of money. We choose books instead of money because we thought in that period of time in the films books are more valuable than money. But i also scrap that idea since it was quiet dangerous and we think we wont be able to make it long enough to cover the 2 minute time.

My third idea was to make a deal with some VIP (mafia) to trade a lot of money for a few books. Then when the VIP got in the car and drove for a bit there will be a traitor in the car which kills everyone and steal the books from the car and then get changed to disguise. Then the traitor will then find his get away car and drove off.I think that should be my final idea and it should be long enough to cover those 2 minutes

The third idea was scrapped because the VIP car was not available for us to use and i think it would be too complicated. So I've decided to use a less VIP car such as a silver BMW instead of a black Mercedes S class. But we are trying to stick to the same story line, such as there is still a traitor in the film but there wont be as much killing and it will be less climatic.

During new year we start filming. We try some of the camera angles and look at the lighting. We did some test shots instead because the prop wasn't ready on the day.

29 January. We start the filming seriously.We film for 3 consecutive hours in the hot sun. We did achieve a lot of new camera angles which help us to put more detail into the film. But this time we didnt have sunny so we need to improvise by using ohm instead and not letting the camera see me.

The picture suggest that there have been a lot of changes in London such as tuk tuk roaming the street and a lot of air pollution.

This scene shows the death of the youngest man on earth. It seems like a very big news because everyone is listening to the news. Except for the main character, he seems to doesn't care about the news at all and just walk away after he bought his coffee. Camera focusing on everyone in the store to let the audiences see that everyone is watching and listening to something very carefully.


This scene shows the area in London in 2027 with all the garbage and pollution in the area. The camera follows him to show what London is like and what kind of cars and how people dress commute around town. The camera then move without cutting to the other side of the man to show the whole view London.


The camera move to the other side of the man to show the entire view of the city in that area. It also shows that people are living their daily life. There is also a man and a woman hugging and kissing in the background showing some people are happy without knowing that there will be a explosion happening next to them.
