Sourcing Costumes & Actors

Props
- Baseball bat
- Gun
- Bandana
I have a bandana and a baseball bat, but I will have to buy a gun, I will easily be able to buy one from Poundland, then I will have to spraypaint it black, I already own black spraypaint

Costumes
- Every day clothing
- Black hoodie
- Boots 
- Black Jeans
The costumes are clothing that people would usually wear, so nothing is needed to buy.

Actors
- Joe Tobias
- Kris Cook
- Mark Taylor (myself)
All of the actors are classmates and pretty easy to get a hold of. 

Contacting Actors

These Emails and Texts are some of the conversations we had to organise the filming, props and outfits.







Filming Considerations

Possible actors
Joe Tobias
Kris Cook
Mark Taylor (myself)

Not many actors will be needed in this trailer as it is a story about the progression of one person, the other actors apart from myself will be victims or acomplises to my crimes.

Possible Locations
Back alleys
Newcastle City
Sunderland City
Down by the river
Graffiti free wall (sage gateshead)

As sunderland is closer to home I will film some of the back alley shots there even though the film is set in newcastle. I will get shots of the surrounding area (establishing shots) in newcastle, but I will do the bulk of the filming with acting in sunderland.

Final Company logo

This is my final company logo, I love the way it turned out, I think in the trailer i'm going to have the smoke move. The smoke makes it slightly more realistic and more obvious what it is, it fits really well with the image. I think the two components from the gun and the film camera line up really well, I blended them into one layer to then cut out the white bits with the magic want tool and deleted them, I then make a new layer of black and masked it onto the outline, this made the image have more crisp black outlines, and made sure it was the same colour black all the way through, incase some of the cutting out left white or grey outlines around the edge.
The logo is effective and follows all conventions of a logo, it has an image everyone will remember and the text is clear, in turn making people remember it.
