PRODUCTION DESIGN/SOUND DESIGN/CREW

Production Design

This is not my area of expertise, but it is something I am looking into. David my actor has a contact with a make-up artist, but I am still contemplating whether it is worth using her. 

I will need to have some fake blood as I will be showing a shot of my actors hands with blood, to show that he really does have blood on his hands.

Costume

Mac: For my lead I have focussed on trying to give him a sophisticated and meticulous look. I looked at a couple of options when I met David on Wednesday. Long Dark jacket and gloves, along with a trilby hat. 

Cliff: My secondary character for the dialogue scene will be at home so realistically he will need to dress very plain, probably without shoes on. 

Gordon: My third character the muscle will have a leather jacket and dark jeans.

Sound Design

For sound I will be putting together sounds I have collected from Freesound.org. I have already prepared a bank of atmospheric sound effects to be used when it comes to editing, and off course they are non copyright.

I have also recently discovered Freemusicarchive.org which I am now using to its fullest. This site provides free non copyrighted music to download.

Crew

For my crew I have got Plamen on camera for the first 2 parts of my film, but I really wanted him to be the henchman in the 3rd part so Tim from second year will help me there with camera. 

I will not be using the boom until the conversation so I will not need a sound man for the first two. I will just use sound from the rode mic on top of the Sony EX1. For part 3 I will either employ the help of Patricia or Mark depending on who's schedule fits with mine.

Also as I mentioned above I may be using a make-up artist, but that is not confirmed yet.

Shoot Schedule

I have set the date of shooting on the 4th of February, this gives me time to shoot pick ups if I need to on my reserve day the 7th of February. Then from then on I will be editing and touching up the blog until the hand in.
