Point in Script for noticeable consideration

We have decided that in the story our main character will not neccesarily be the one that holds the most power in the case, that title would instead go to our Second Detective, J. Walker. To illustrate this we have decided to make him the first detective who's face is shown to the camera to illustrate the priorit. For clarification J.Walker is the title we are going with depending on the actors we can find. Should they be male, John Walker, Female, Jane Walker

Music Request

The following is the email me and Amy have sent to request the use of our proposed song.

Distributor of Choice

In terms of what I have seen in my research there has literally been many different Distributors with many different backgrounds. I think that actually we should pursue a British distibutor such as Momentum Pictures. The reason I have chosen this one specifically is because Amy has suggested to me that it is one of two ones that she has identified as suitable for the pieces style in relation to their previous work, the reason why we didn't go for the other one was because of its lesser known credibility.

Location Scouting

In terms of the Locations we are going to use for the piece we are looking to find the following suitable areas:

-An office environment
-A crime scene adjacent to a road where the main character can walk up to the crime scene.
-A large hill that can be used to shoot the panoramic at the end of the opening.

I will update this immediatly once we have ascertained the appropriate areas for shooting.

Opening Credits

For the Opening Credits of the piece we have decided to go for a set of shots that show a piece of police equipment, Evidence or a  newspaper clipping to express the passing of time in this case. The shots would leave room to the side to edit in the credits for the piece, I would very much like to experiment with the focus on the camera to bring the items to the forefront. Amy has contributed to the ideas in the credits by sending me her conclusion to what she has noticed about the credits.

"Every opening sequence has credits either during or at the end of the sequence,

I concluded that there is a common theme within these; the titles tend to be over a series of images- either running into the actual film itself, or just simply as a totally separate sequence itself."- Amy Washbourne

 

Amy's Conclusion matches my suggestion rather perfectly as matter of fact and so we will definately be going ahead with this idea.

PROPOSED EDIT TO SCRIPT

Amy has made an observation from viewing many repeating scenes from crime thriller genre pieces, generally there is usually a scene where the main character will stand at the top of a large hill looking around, I have indeed agreed that that could in fact be a interesting an potentially dramatic addition. I have suggested that we add in a scene where our main characters both look out towards the scenery and the narration continues to talk about how the case has baffled them and they feel annoyed at the fact that the murders keep continuing.

Shooting Schedule

In terms of the proposed shooting schedule, we have both agreed that we should stick to shooting on weekends as it allows for a much larger amount of time in which to work, it also makes it easier for the actors in the scene to make arrangements for the shoot. In terms of the week that gives us, the time can be used for checking a scene early then mid week proposing changes and end of the week applying changes.
