Changes in our project...

We have talked things through as a group and have decided to make some changes in our Film.

The Film is not going to be set in the 'Film Noir' period anymore and has now been revamped and update to the 70s - 80s. We feel as a group that It will be easier this way as we won't have to create an authentic looking 30s restaurant. Instead we have still opted for the same Idea for location and idea just set much later on in history.

Sound and Lighting - Film Project

Diegetic:
Laughter (scattered), glasses clinking, cards shuffling, knifes and forks clinking (all distant and not extremely dominating)

Dialogue - ambient chatting, as well as main narrative.

Non Diegetic:
SFX - Gunshots, Bullets, Flesh Wounds, Kitchen sounds (distant)

Music: Jazz Fussion - played by band. 70s funk/disco is played when shooting starts. We have a list of tracks that we may use. We now just have to choose the most appropriate music.
