Planning for shootsFor ‘Only Business’

What does this include?

The ‘Planning for shoots’ covers requirements for:

Hair

Make up

Costumes

Props

Locations

Hair

The actors which we use to create our film opening will not have to change their hair, as this isn’t an important aspect to the characters in the film itself. More of the focus will be on the action that takes place throughout the film, so nothing will be needed to change the appearance of the actors hair.

Make up

The Three characters that will be seen in our film opening will be male characters that are quite masculine. Therefore we have decided that our characters will not wear any stage makeup as we feel this would make them less masculine looking.

However we may use some sort of face paint to create the image of blood on the character ‘Hector’s’ face after ‘Antonio’ hits him.

Costumes

The character Hector will be wearing some old cheap looking clothes e.g. tracksuit, as he is the character who is meant to be buying drugs off of Jason and Antonio, and we want to establish the idea that he is very poor and therefore desperate for money (to buy drugs as he is an addict), hence why he agrees to try and kill Antonio for money.

Antonio will be wearing jeans a pair of trainers and a coat. We have decided to dress him in this way as we want to make him look like a casual character, who gets dragged into something bad.

Jason could be wearing a dressing gown as he is going to be sitting relaxing at home waiting for Hector to kill Antonio.

Props

Props which we will include in our film opening:

Mobile phone (Antonio)

Shoulder bag which is supposed to contain illegal substance (Antonio)

Gun (Hector)

Mobile phone (Jason)

Locations

For our film opening we will use 3 main locations.

We will use a isolated public area e.g. a bench in a park for the meeting point of Antonio and Hector at the point of the exchange.

We will use the location of a housing area (housing estate) to show Antonio running towards Jason’s house after Hector tires to kill him.

Finally we will need an inside house location, where Antonio will run to, in order to meet Jason (Jason’s house).
