PRE-PRODUCTION OVERVIEW

CASTING, CHARACTERS, REHEARSAL/DIRECTING

Protagonist

The protagonist who is not given a name is supposed to be a young person who is the driver in a heist film, we built him to be a criminal, but whom can be personally identified with (Uses and Gratifications: Personal Identification, Information, Escapism, Social Interaction). He is built as a character who is happy and stereotypically young in some ways, whilst being shown as a good person, who regrets what he does, and does not want to keep their deaf brother in danger. We based him off baby from Baby driver.

Brother Of Protagonist

The brother of the protagonist is a blind teenager who also likes music, he is based off Joseph from baby driver. He is used as a tool to help the audience understand that the protagonist may be a criminal, but they are kind hearted and are not a bad person, and that helps them understand his reasons and problems throughout the film.

Criminal Boss Figure

The Criminal Boss is the one of the villains of the film (who would later be shown as a secondary villain who was abusing the fact that his own leader was behind b), He is a man who wears a suit, and demands respect without deserving it, he is based off the the same character in Baby Driver. He is shown to be manipulating the protagonist to do crimes he does not want to do, and seems to have a hidden factor that forces the protagonist to do it.

LOCATIONS, MISE-EN-SCENE, HEALTH AND SAFETY

What locations did you consider? Why these? Is there any link to your research findings? What factors were involved in your final choices?

We ensured that the mise-en-scene would build to what we wanted. In the kitchen scene we re-positioned many of the things in the room, and brought others such as the tomatoes and the bread. The clothing was another aspect of the mise-en-scene where we focused on, but we manly focused on the protagonist, and we forgot to plan the clothing of the brother. In the church scene which we recorded after the kitchen one, we ensured that the boss character was meticulously controlled, we had him wearing exactly what we believed would be. we also had the church scene as controlled as possible without disrupting the environment since the church was a church that was actively in use.

We tried to ensure that all cast rarely faced each other, and the only times that two or more people were closer then two meters to each other, they were siblings who lived in the same household. We never broke any Covid-19 regulations. We also ensured that no.one other then the practiced cinematographer used the camera and we ensure that nobody got injured or hurt by anything.

EQUIPMENT + LOGISTICS

We transported the camera and audio recording device in a camera bag with a monopod on the side.
