Story Board Planning

This is a rough planning for mine and bianca's storyboard, we came across some problems with our original planning, instead of filming all of our bar scene in a bar, for legal reasons we've had to change the majority of our filming will be done in my house because you can't smoke in pubs and clubs and to create a good film noir effect we will need to include this in our OTS.

Camera angles

(These photo's were took as part of my gcse photography during year 10 and 11, i'm just using them as examples of camera shots and angles)

Canted angles

A camera angle which is deliberately slanted to one side, sometimes used for dramatic effect to help portray unease, disorientation, frantic or desperate action, intoxication, madness, etc.

Eyeline Match

A photo taken from the same level as the focal point, sometimes increasing the depth of field or enhancing the viewer's connection with the character.

Low angle

Taken below the eyeline of the focal point looking up, often resembles the power of the character and can also make her\him look imposing.

High angle

Where the character is located above the eye line, the camera looks down on the subject and the point of focus often get "swallowed up" by the setting.

Actors

Bianca and I will be playing the main chacters 'Thelma and Louise' and interpreting them into femme fatals.

Bianca will be playing Louise:

I will be playing Thelma:

Also various other people from our media class will be helping us out.
Dillan will be our detective:

And Katherine will be playing the house keeper/ bar maid:

Location

We want to set our OTS in a pub, but we've come across a few problems.
Firstly due to legal reasons we can not smoke in the pub so we wont be able to get the full effect of a film noir, so instead of this we are hopefully going to be using someone's lounge area which has an area which is similar to a bar, hopefully we can work this to our advantage as it does have some benefits filming in a more private area:

we can smoke with the owners permission, without breaking the law
we can spend more time filming, going over things and improving them
when using the get away car it will be easier as it's not on a busy road
we have more freedom of choice when changing and redoing things

Props

Looking through our story board we can now clearly see how many different props we are going to need;

Costume;

High heels
Fur coats
50's styled clothing
Top hat
Trench Coat
Pinny For bartender
Bar Props;

Glasses
Bottles
Bottled drink (alcohol included)
Ash trays
Bar tables
General props;

Cigarettes/Cigars
Some of our props we may have trouble with for example, if we can not find a bar to use then we will probably have to use a lounge in someone's house and create the effect that we're in a bar.

Sound

We've experimented with foleying to create an over lay of sounds, we started off simply by using obvious things to get the correct sound for example using glasses to tap together to make the clinking back ground noise you get in bars and foot steps in an echoey hall to make an over exaggerated noise for the footsteps in the bar. Other things which we used to create sounds were not so obvious for example when the door slams behind the detective in our OTS to create the sound i sat down on a bench in the sports hall of our school, which made a loud banging noise to over emphasise the silence which fills the room of the bar as the detective who seems so out of place enters.
