PLANNING: UPDATE

Since our film opening pitches, a lot has changed. Significantly, the narrative has been adapted to be a more conventional thriller, our protagonist has been drugged and kidnapped, and after being given feedback we have created the shopkeeper character; who's indifference to the protagonist provides enigma which is crucial in capturing the audience's curiosity. The series of montages used in our initial idea has been replaced with a varied range of camera angles, shot and movements. This decision was made so to boost the level of technique in our opening and really emphasise the skills we have to offer. Attributing to the change in narrative, our sound palette has been updated, for instance we are now including the enhanced diegetic sound of LED lights, as well as our colour palette (all of these changes are detailed in a recent blog post). Despite this, our location has remained the same. So far, research and planning have ran smoothly and we are on schedule.
