Storyboard

Factors to consider

We plan to film it in drama and a factor to consider with that will be if we are allowed to film there we will need permission also what times are free for us to film there that could be a complication because maybe the room is free for us to film when we are busy and when we need it, it may not be available.

Another factor for us to consider is if tony is comfortable in taking his shirt off and participating in this particular scene.  Although he has agreed to it he might have a change of heart when we actually start filming it as he might feel uncomfortable with people seeing his body. 

The props that we plan to use may be hard to come by for example the rope and the knife that we need will be quite hard to come by. The knife will be particularly hard to come by as we can’t just bring one in for legal reasons. The whip that we need may also be hard to come by.

Another factor to consider is that there is the risk of hurting Tony with the whip. We are going to act out hitting him with a whip we will need to make sure that we are careful when doing this.

Planning Notes

Each member of the group will be recording because not all of us are going to be in each scene so we will be taking turns to film. Fatima will be directing and trying to get everything we need such as props and equipment so that the opening to be successful. Every one has a part of acting in the opening however Tony will not be recording because he is in all the scenes which makes him the main character in the opening. The equipment we need is fake blood, fake wounds, rope, knife, chair and whips so the torturing scene looks realistic and creative. The soundtrack after filming the opening will be mine and Fatima’s responsibility so we can use the best soundtrack we can to make the opening suspenseful  and thrilling.
