Change in Character: Alice

I decided that I would change Alice's character. Rather than have her be the seductress I decided I would instead make her an assassin with a lack of common sense and social skills. I feel by using this I will be able to add a greater sense of danger to the film, yet also add the to idea that non of the crew is 'normal' and the clashing personalities could cause issues.

I next created a new version of the scene 5 Storyboard which allows for said change in character.

Poster: Positioning Practise

I currently do not have access to all of my actors for a photo shoot, so for now I have decided on doing a practise photo shoot with randoms in order to find what positions the characters are best suited for, which positions look best.

Planning: Music

For each scene I have a general idea about when music should play, what timings, and what sort of music. I started searching for the sounds for the different parts of the short films.

Planning: Short film Title Mind Map

One of the decisions I need to make soon is the actual title of the short film. I need to think of a name thats short, easily memorable and is catchy. Coming up with a name will also help me then think of a slogan for the film poster.

Planning: Poster Layout Design

For the basic layout plan of my poster, I decided to take inspiration from the star wars poster I analysed and have the antagonist of the film shadowing behind the main characters. My next decision I need to make is how the have the main characters positioned, which would then allow me to make decisions in editing.
