Planning OTS: Moodboard, Locations, Props & Sound

Moodboard:
 I found this ideal one online, from -link-. I chose to use this one as it saved time which enables me to be able to discus other things such as locations, sound and props etc with Emily whilst together in the lesson. I chose this specific one because I think it captures the key conventions of a Film Noir film such as the dramatic lighting, smoke, cigarettes, pistols etc.

Locations:

• Wedding dress shop: This will be available to us to use as Emily's auntie owns it so when it comes to filming we can organise it easily. 

  

  This is the wedding dress shop that we are going to be filming in.
  Update: When filming I forgot to take pictures of the interior

• Cobbled street: Luckily Norwich has various cobbled streets so me and Emily soon will organise to go look at what street would be best to fit our vision. As well as visiting them physically we have also used Google Maps on street view to enable us to narrow the list down to the top two to go visit:    

         

Princes Street, Norwich

Elm Hill, Norwich

These are the only locations that we are planning on using/needing. Once me and Emily have researched and made a final decision on what cobbled street out of the two we are going to film on I will update this post stating what one/where. 

Update: After researching me and Emily have decided that Elm Hill will be most appropriate for us to use to film.

Props:

• Costumes for three main protagonist's; Killer, Anti-Hero and Femme Fatale.
• Engagement ring - Emily has a ring suitable to use.
• Pistol - research where to find one/borrow one.
• To be continued if more is needed -

Killers costume: 

This is the kind of look we are thinking of for the killer.

Femme Fatales costume: 

This is the kind of look we want for the Femme Fatale. Although this may different we hope to keep the long dress and curled hair.

Anti-Hero costume: 

The idea of the suit is what we are looking for in our Anti Hero's outfit. The suit would ideally be bedraggled to create the everyday man look.

Engagement ring: 

It's hard to see but the Femme Fatale in this picture has in fact got an engagement ring on and is positioning it on the love interest to put it on display. This kind of framing is what we are going to use in the scene in the wedding shop.
For the actual ring we are going to use one Emily already owns. We desire a fairly basic one. What we aren't looking for is a ring that doesn't resemble an engagement ring because it needs to be evident. 

Pistol: 

This is the kind of pistol we want to use. 

Sound:
For sound we have talked to Billie Bell a fellow student in our year who is going to sort out a piece of music for use to use in our OTS. For other smaller sounds such as a gun shot I am going to research folioing for me and Emily to see if we would like to use it. Post on research to be found here.
