Locations in which I plan to film some of my 70's cop introduction

Shoot Plan

When filming shots for my opening scene, there will be different locations which will create interest for the audience. For example, there will be shots which are shot in front of a green screen. If these are in need of re-filming I will be at an advantage due to being able to easily replicate the lighting conditions and the silhouette movements.

The shots that I am going to be filming outside will be extremely hard to replicate. Even small factors such as different weather conditions and minuscule changes to characters hair can be very noticeable when watching a film. If my audience was to notice that I have filmed the scenes on different days, the effect of continuity would be ruined. However, the shots that are in past opening scenes of films of this genre show different locations with different weather conditions and slightly different hairstyles and clothing items. I think if i was to include this very subtly I would be able to create a very authentic feel to the film.

I plan to shoot the individual shots over multiple days over a certain period of time to give the impression that the opening scene includes past highlights of the characters adventures with each other. I am doing this as past introductions to these types of film/TV series always involves their best moments while sometimes still containing some sort of shoreline.

Representation of Characters

Because the main characters in my film are both men, there are many different ways they could be represented in the eyes of the audience.

I have tried to give my audience the impression that the characters in the film are very masculine. This means that I have given them moustaches and stubble. This is the usual stereotype that someone is very masculine. I have also had the actors wear denim which is again associated with masculinity. I have tried to give the audience the impression that the characters are very rough and ready. I think I have achieved this by having the characters walk very confident and relaxed, as though they have total control of the situation. This also brings out the general toughness in the characters and gives the audience the impression that they are very brave.

Music Choice

After a lot of searching on SoundCloud throughout the past few weeks I have managed to narrow down various songs that would be suitable for my use. I have taken a screenshot of he potential song that I have chosen as my top 3. However, my most likely choice will be "Breakestra - You Don't Need A Dance". My reasoning for this is that it is one of the most upbeat songs that I have found in the past few weeks and I think it fits in very well with the theme and genre of my film.
