Group Film Idea...

Our initial concept for our group film is still in the very early stages. However we hope to have some basic character designs and storyboards up online soon.

Our Film is based around the following Genres:
Film Noir
Crime
Mystery
'Gangster'

Brief Description of opening scene...

The first thing you see is nothing..The sound of a record player scratching and starting up soon follows. The sound of familiar sounding 50's Italian-American music then floods into the scene giving you a slight hint at what sort of genre this film is. The first shot is of a waiter dropping cutlery onto the restaurant floor..The ambient sound of laughter and people chatting accompany the shot. The camera then pans across to a poker table surrounded by 'mobsters' playing a social game of cards.Each character is then introduced through means of still shots and their name/nickname being displayed on these 'freeze' shots They are chatting amongst themselves about a recent job/heist and how there were certain problems with a few select individuals. There is then silence and suddenly everybody pulls their weapons upon each other. There are close ups of the gun shots but not of the characters themselves. This doesn't allow you to see who is actually killed in the fire fight. The camera then shows one character leaving the restaurant whilst dropping their cigar. The camera follows the cigar as it hits the floor and rolls. The screen then fades to black and the title '3 months earlier' appears.
