Changes

Since last time I blogged a large quantity of changes have happened to our project. We have decided that the first shot of a hand held point of view (POV) camera angle too difficult to obtain. This is because it would take a lot of practise to get a wrist to act as a neck. At the beginning of this process we wanted to be inventive and create a brand new idea. However we have found that with the low budget it us easier to go with traditional ideas. Therefore the fact that this shot is used at the beginning of the thriller means that there are no establishing shots which the research contains a lot of the time. Also as the beginning of our opening has quite a few of theses hand held POV shots we have come up with a more simplistic idea. Thus starting from scratch while being traditional simplistic and not cliche!

The idea is of an Action Thriller in which a Russian receives a phone call says a Russian word for "yes" which is  looks through his brief of the mission and then gets his bag to go to the Gerrards Cross Train station to for fill his mission the last shot should be of the train doors closing to leave it on a cliff hanger. We were worried that this would be too short and simple so was thinking to get the Russian character to plan his mission by visiting the areas in London and taking photos of the location he was going to carry out the crime of killing one of the royals. However we felt this was too long and the photographing bit too cliche.
