KEY MILESTONES

I aim to have the product finished in 12 months’ time in that time I want to have all of the pre-production materials complete by the end of august at the latest and have actors cast to play the parts to start filming in September and have the final scene shot 2 days after we travel to location (London) and then move in to post production where we will spend 1 month editing and mastering the footage to have a promo ready for release by October.

EQUIPMENT

·        DSLR Camera- To film the footage

·        SD card- to store the footage on the camera

·        Tripod-to hold the camera steady

·        Camera steady- to move the camera freely without it looking shakey

·        Microphone- to record sound

PROPS

For this production I will be requiring things commonly associated with crime and violence to create the type of Mise en scene my trailer requires to create meaning for the audience and to show the genre to make my product I will require bank firing guns, blank bullets, magazines and handcuffs. I have selected these items because it has clear connotations of what I am trying to communicate to my audience and these items are very common in the genre and allows me to use intertextuality.
