The movie Tester

This is the begging of my movie, and I've just done a tester to see what people thinking and what say and think.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BE_WN4MeaJc
comment on what you think because this is not the real copy and I am going to change things around. Ive got a list  on things I'm going to change and I'm going to be recording with Dan soon for the sound track. The music is all from iMovie library and all non copy right.

This is my wall in my room for my movie at the start of the film, i has help from my friend Liam to set up and organise the pictures.

The script for the assignment

I have a assignment for you. I know you it has been a long time, but i need some help. Theirs a package that needs to be collected, but its not a simple job. 

I will send you the coordinates to the destination. Their is a car parked in the corner of the car park on the level 4b and the key will be located under the back left wheel. I will supply you with all the equipment you need. If you are successful and receive the package safely then i will reward you with £50,000.  

Their will be a picture of the target in the case located in your car. Good Luck

The location

I’m going to film at the Bristol museum and art gallery, David Lippit is going to let me go onto the roof of the museum. This is where the main part of the film is going to happen; this is where the assassin takes his first victim.

For the start of the film, where u meet the main assassin, is going to be filmed at my house. This is because I’m going to play the main character.

Two assassins go into the forest, I’m going to use Blaise Castel, this is close to my house and is easy for all the actors to get to. There are loads of trees and there are other runners around so I would fit in.

How to get around the law

For league reasons, I can’t point the gun over the edge. The reason why I am not allowed to do that is because if one of the public sees it and they could think it is a real gun and then they would call the police and I would get arrested. To get a around this problem I’m going to use some camera cutting so it flows and looks like the edge. The museum roof has different levels, I’m going to use a different level were the public will not see the weapon. This also makes it safer if the gun falls and I can go below on the different level to film different angles. It will still look like the edge.

My Movie Story Boards Explained Part 6

The camera is from a distance. All the assassins are dead. The picture is in black and white. And you’re watching it through a screen.

The camera zooms out and there is a woman watching the whole thing on her home computer. She is another assassin.

There is a piece of paper with loads of faces on. 3 of them are the people that just got killed. There is other faces on the paper which have not been crossed of. The women crosses off the face on the man who given the assignment. you’re not expecting their to be someone watching the whole thing. When she crosses the faces off the list this sets the story for the rest of the film.

Fades to black. To be continued..... 

My Movie Story Boards Explained Part 5

The tracking device says he is on top of it. The person from before jumps down from the trees behind him with a pistol. They have a talk about why he is following him; this is where the 180 degree rule comes in.  

They both have a fight with the gun, a choreographed action sequence.

They both hold pistols up to each other face. Face to face, they both pull the trigger but both guns don’t have any ammunition. 

The man in a suit is stood there in the distance, clapping his hands; he walks towards the camera slowly fading in. He’s the man from the video. Both say u work for him at the same time. The boss pulls out 2 guns and shoots them both in the head and walks off. This is the second twist to the story.

The man picks up the package and walks away with it.

He looks into the package; the camera follows his eyes and sees his pov. A massive flash comes out off the package. But this is not the end.

My Movie Story Boards Explained Part 4

This is the target on the floor dead. There is a crowd gathering around the target. A hooded man picks up the package and walks off. This is not part of the plan! 

The assassin lines up his next shot, this shot is for the man who has taken his package. The audience does not know who he is, either does the assassin, this add's a twist to the story, this makes the audience tense and wonder who is this person in the hood, his identity is hidden by his hood.

The assassin is lining up for his second shot, as he about to press the trigger, the phone rings, it his boss. The boss tells him that he failed, he should have got the package, but there is one more chance he says. There is a tracking device in the phone, follow it.

The boss sends him the link to the tracking device, he looks at the phone. You see the assassin POV. The camera looks at the phone, and moves swiftly up, there’s an ellipsis.

When the camera moves back up the assassin is at Blaise castle in the forest. He scans around looking where to go, the camera pan over the forest. You see his POV. 

The assassin jogs off the camera follows the assassin through the forest. The assassin is pretending to be a jogging man. But the assassin is looking for the guy with the package.

My Movie Story Boards Explained Part 3

The assassin puts in the code to the alarm. The camera sees the back of him and his hand on the box. He walks up the spiral staircase, the camera in at the bottom following him up the spiral staircase.

There will be a camera already there. When he gets to the top the camera watches him come out the door, the camera is far away from him.  You see him walk to the side, the camera pan across the as the man walks to the side.

He drops his bag down and looks over the side, the camera is POV. He unpacks his equipment and makes his sniper gun and sets it up. He looks at the picture of target. Then he looks for his target. The camera is his POV.

You see the assassin raise scope to his eye. 

This is what the assassin sees through his scope, you see him line up his target. You see his finger pull the trigger; the camera is on the other side off the target when the built hits him in the head. 

This is the shot where the target gets hit in the head with the bullet, and drops the package. I'm going to add the affect of a gun shot using Imovie using a mac computer.

My Movie Story Boards Explained Part 2

There is an ellipsis to the car park. This wastes time and skips the boring journey to the car park. The assassin is going to walk into the car park and look for the car; you will see the assassin walking into car park. The camera see the assassin walk past and view the back of him.

This is where you see the assassin point of view (POV), the assassin see the car and walks up to it. He collects the key and the camera will see his hand collect it. 

This is where the assassin opens the boot off the car with his key and gets out the equipment, this car will be owned by my sister. I will have permission from her to use it. The camera will see the equipment and see what he is getting out of the boot. you see the assassin read the instructions with a over voice and get his equipment. He closes the boot and gets into the car. The car will see him get into the car. The assassin will get into the back of the car so he can changed into his work uniform. 

There’s an ellipses. There’s a camera is on the side of the museum watching him go into the museum in his overalls. He goes up to the door and talks through the voice pad. They let him in.  

He goes through the underground basement way not the main entrance. When the assassin walking to the place where he need to go. He passes a security man who works there. The camera slows down as they pass each other. This shows that the assassin is thinking about everything and in his mind everything is going slow, if the security man notices he is not the real maintenance man he is in trouble and will be sent to prison for life and he would of failed his mission.

There is an ellipses to the door he needs to go into.  You see him coming up to the door, he tries to open it, it locked, and then you see him going into his bag, getting the pick lock set out of it. The camera vie is on his hand trying to pick the lock.  He opens the door, you see him go through.

My Movie Story Boards Explained Part 1

This is the 1^st shot you will see in my movie, this how the story begins where you see the assassin in his room asleep; the camera is going to slowly come up to the assassin. This shows he is a normal person sleeping and has to wake up at 8:00 because his alarm is going to go off. He has a normal room, which you can relate yourself or a friend to. The camera makes you feel like you know him and can just walk in to his room. The camera is like his mum point of view if she was going to wake him up for school/work. 

This is the 2^nd shot that the audience will see; the camera will pan over his pictures on his wall to show a bit about his life, this shows he a normal person with good social life. The pictures are in a collage stile, like a mood board. This makes the audience feel like you know him. If you got invited to his house for the first time, most people would have a look at their pictures to find out about the person.

This is the 3^rd shot that the audience will see; the camera will move over to the alarm clock, the radio will come on and the alarm will go off. The assassin will turn off the alarm, and turn up the radio. The music was originally planned to be (Hard Fi Hard to Beat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jDxzl7y8QA&ob=av2n ) but because of copy right I’m going to use my friend Dan Williams who likes to make his own music, and who is also going to star in my film as the second assassin. I’m am going to burn it on to a CD so I can use it in my HI FI. The music is going to be diagetic, but it going to follow the characters when moves into the next scene, so it will become non diagetic. 

 This is the 4^th shot the audience will see. There is an ellipsis so it misses all the non important parts. He is in his kitchen on his laptop and eating his breakfast. The music is still playing because this is no important sounds. He is logging onto his computer. There is nothing important going on at this point, the audience still thinks he is a normal person surfing the internet. The lyrics may give the audience a clue about what the man is, but not giving to much information out.

This is where the audience see what he is looking at. He is logging on to his own private email account. The user name will give away what he is, there is going to be an assailment and a short video telling the audience and the assassin what he has to do. The man giving the assailment is Liam Jordan. This puts the story in place. 

This is where you see the assassin get into his car and goes to work. This is a short shot that will last the period that it takes the car to the road. I will get my dad to drive the car because I can’t drive a car legally. There is going to be some quick camera edits so it looks I have driven the car away.

Music Ideas

I have been working with Dan on the music, we were thinking about the concept and lyrics of what I would like in the film. Dan likes to do free-style rapping, so I told him some of the thing I would like him to include in his rap. I would like the music to be catchy, but different and portray the story, like he going to rap about having more than one life "you’re so two faces, you chat shit, you have so many faces, John, Trish, Rich ." He hasn't completed the rap and me and him are still on early stages of it before we get to the recording it and use it in my film. The music will come in when they guy turns on his radio/stereo. 

The Main Cast

The Cast:
Assassin 1 (main man) Patch Benbow
Courier: Angela Nicholson
Hooded assassin 2: Daniel Williams
Man who gives the assignment: Liam Jordan
Bingo woman: Jessica Puckett
Extras: General public and other people that want to help out on the shoot.

The Music

The music is going to be produced by Dan Williams, he does music technical for AS level at Marlwood School and he is going to produce the music for my film. He is going to write his one music and make his own beat for my media film; I’m going to work closely with him so I have the tune as how I want it and so it fits in to the scenes and does not ruin the atmosphere of the film.  

The concept

The concept of the film is about the underworld, the world that we don’t see, but underworld still lives and happens. Organised gangs are all around us. The movie shows how people can be persuaded to do thing when their offered money, how their manipulated into doing things that a normal person could not do.  How a normal person could kill for a living. This also shows you how people can get past security easily no questions asked. This shows how easy that people are convinced with people in uniform.  Humans assume naturally that people in uniform have power and their doing their job, there are who they who they say they are.  

It shows how money can get you anything. If you got money you do what you want. You own the streets and the underworld. Shows what people are capable of.  

Why is my film different?

At the beginning of the film, the assassin, which the audience think is a simple normal guy. You see a bit into his life and it makes the audience think that you know him and you’re welcomed into his house. This makes the audience make their own stereotype of the man.
When he opens the email you find out he is not the man who you’re expecting him to be. He is an assassin; this sets you up for the movie and gives you a clue to what the movie is about. the audience original sterio type is changed and their confused. 

When he kills the first guy you thinks he doing his job as what you would expect.  And as the other guy runs off with the package carries on the story and keep’s it flowing. When he gets to the place where the package is and the man comes down from the tree, they have a hand to hand combat which is a different type of action to what you would normally expect to see in a soon in a film. When the guy that is in the video at the beginning comes out of the bush, he is clapping his hands. The audience rember this mans voice from the Skype convocation earlier in the film. And when both assassins say you work for him this fits the whole story together. And when he shoots them both this looks like the end of the film. This is the 1st twist you still don’t know what inside the box. So when he walks off you get to see what is in the box, but it’s a trick, the audience see a massive flash. This is the 2nd twist to the film and the audience tension to see what next.  When the flash goes your left with a black and white see where a woman is watching the whole thing, this is the 3rd twist to the film for two reasons because for one it a woman not a man who running this operation and two your expecting the end of the film, you’re not expecting their to be someone watching the whole thing. When she crosses the faces off the list this sets the story for the rest of the film. This is where the name of the film Bingo comes from.

My Inspiration

My move has been inspired from the movie, Batman, The Dark knight. The concept of the film was inspired by the joker making everyone do his dirty work and he does not need to do anything but collect the money.  I have interpreted this idea from the dark knight by making the whole thing link into the main guy and have a twist that the audience is not expecting at the beginning off film.

My Movie Idea.

My movie is called Bingo.            

This is the camera, sound direction and main plot.

Start: man in bed. Pan shot over his wall, personal pictures and memories (collage style). He is a normal guy with a fun life. The camera then moves to his alarm clock. This music will be Dan williams Rapping, in his room, this is diagetic sound, which turn into non diagetic he get into the shower, music still playing, he makes his breakfast then he turns on his computer.

He lives double lives as an assassin and a regular local community man. He logs onto his private email account and notices he has an attachment, he opens it and a video pops up with mystery man explaining he has an assignment for him. The video explains to shoot the victim, take the package and makes it clear that every move he makes, the mystery man will be watching. He offers a payment of £50,000 if the assignment is a success. The man tells the assassin everything he need's will be in the car which is in car park in the corner of level 4b and the key will be located under the back left wheel. Then the assassin walks out of his house and put his key in his door and twisted the key and locked up. He goes into his car. The car drives off and you see the back off it.

When he gets to the too car park, he walks in and goes down the stairs. When he finds the car he gets the key the camera will be on the left side of the car. Then the camera goes around to the boot, you see him put him key into the boot lock, when he opens it, you see him read the instructions with a over voice and get his equipment (The note says that he is a maintenance man going work in the museum and the code is 89874 for the alarms, there is a swipe card/picklock in the bag for any locked doors) After, the assassin closes the boot and walks away on the right side of the car so the camera would have done a full 360 degree angle around the car by this point.

There’s an ellipses. There’s a camera is on the side of the museum watching him go into the museum in his overalls. He goes up to the door and talks through the voice pad. They let him in.  He goes through the underground basement way not the main entrance. When the assassin walking to the place where he need to go. He passes a man who works there. The camera slows down as they pass each other. You see him coming up to the door, he tries to open it, it locked, and then you see him going into his bag, getting the pick lock set out of it. The camera vie is on his hand trying to pick the lock.  He opens the door, you see him go through. He puts in the code to the alarm. The camera sees the back of him and his hand on the box.  He walks up the stairs, the camera in at the bottom following him up the spiral stare case.

Then he gets to the top the camera watches him come out the door, the camera is far away from him.  You see him walk to the side, the camera pan across the as the man walks to the side. He drops his bag down and looks over the side, the camera is pov. He unpacks his equipment and makes his sniper gun and sets it up. He looks at the picture of target. You can see his tension in the guys face. You see through his sniper as he looks for his target with the package. You see his finger pull the trigger, the camera is on the other side off the guy when the built hits him in the head, blood goes over the camera. And then a crowd around him a hooded man walks off with the package. The man watches as the man walks off, he lines up the next shot, but he getting away fast. He lines it up for his second shot, as he about to press the trigger, the phone rings, it his boss.

The boss say to the guy on the phone, the target has gone, take out the phone in the bag. The phone has a tracking device in, follow the device to where the package is.

There’s an Ellipses at Blaze castle in the forest. He scans around pretending to be a jogging man. He is looking for the guy with the package. He deep into the forest, the tracking device says he is on top off it. He guy from before jumps down from the trees behind him with a pistol. They have a talk about why he is following him; this is where the 180 degree rule comes in.  They both have a fight with the gun, a choreographed action sequence.  They both have pistols up to each other face to face, they both pull the trigger but both guns don’t have any ammunition.

The man in a suit is stood there in the distance, clapping his hands; he walks towards the camera slowly fading in. He’s the man from the video. Both say u work for him at the same time. The boss pulls out 2 guns and shoots them both in the head and walks off. The man picks up the package and walks away with it. He looks into the package; the camera floes his eyes and sees his pov. A massive flash comes out off the package.

The camera is in black and white, there is a woman watching the whole thing on her home computer. This is another assassin. On the computer screen is the man in the suit on the floor with the package next to him. The camera is on the right side of her face; POV then looks down and crosses their faces off the list.  Then the screen fades out and on the screen it says “To be continued”
