Map of interrogation scene

Here is the annotated map for our interrogation scene labelled from the first moves and camera angles used from the beginning until the end, there is also the added box which contains information on what this scene will do (how the scene is set up and what will be used to keep an audience interested in watching the rest of the film).

Permission from City of London.

To be able to film in London, it is courtosy to ask and let them know.
Here is the link for the website containing the information we need to know:
http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/Corporation/LGNL_Services/Leisure_and_culture/Arts_and_entertainment/guidelines.htm

On this link it clearly states "On the basis that you are filming with a small crew only (less than eight people), keeping to public walkway, are using portable equipment only and you will not cause any obstruction, danger or offence to others, then you are not obliged to submit an application. However it is deemed good practice to submit an application for all shoots and we advise you do so as we can then notify relevant parties such as the Police and Highways that you will be filming and in turn we can send you confirmation that we see no objection to your filming.''


So..technically, we dont need to do one. But we will attempt to get a reply from them anyway. 
 Here is where i got so far, however we needed insurance information which i didnt have... :/ 

Mind map of ideas for our opening

Production Diary...

This is a preliminary list of days which we are free to shoot for our thriller opening.
Still needs to be confirmed (...meaning Max and Ashleigh.. are you free on these days?)

Key:
N = nicole
A= ashleigh

Research into Interrogation room settings.

Below I have put together what the interrogation room might look like for our first scene, and included with them are some possible shots and angles we could also use.

Here is also some more pictures of the layout we could use.

Research for costume.

I did some research into what uniforms detectives and police wear, and I have created a mood board of pictures of both uniforms.

Here is the uniform of some of the London and Met police. In my research the TV Drama 'The Bill', was a good source. For a police uniform, we could use a white shirt, black tie, and black trousers. We could customise the outfit by adding the black shoulder pieces, and by adding a fake badge.

Here are the images I researched for the costume for a detective/interrogator. There are a mixture of old fashioned, and more modern costumes for the character. The detective looks smart, a stripy tie or plain tie looks good on an interrogator, as I have seen it in a few movies. A man in a suit would be ideal for an investigator/interrogator. It wouldn't really matter what sort of suit it was, as a lot of the outfits I researched varied.

Here are some costumes and faces that may be useful when picking the actor as well. The costume the 'bad guy' would wear would be more of a casual suit, they will still look important, but not as formal as police or the investigator. Above is another good picture of what the criminal would look like, he is more of a business man criminal.

Here is also the type of coat one of our characters might have if we shot in London:

Practice shots for storyboard

 

We took some preliminary shots for our stryboard. We experimented with angles and which shots were good, and which ones are not so good.
