The black suit and tie idea, that the protagonist in my film will wear. From Reservoir Dogs

film plot summary and ideas

For the foundation project, I am doing a gangster/crime/action film. It starts with the unnamed protagonist waking up in his grubby flat (possibly my garage); tired and beaten up for unknown reasons. I have decided to dress the protagonist in a worn black suit and tie ('Reservoir Dogs' style), because I thought it looked cool and neat.In the film gangsters are trying to find and kill him because he has stolen a briefcase, which belongs to the gangsters. In the film you will never see what is inside of the briefcase, this adds mystery and is a reference to the film 'Pulp Fiction'. You may notice that I referred to two Quentin Tarantino films, this is because my film has been mostly influenced by Tarantino's story and character styles.

180 degree rule

For my preliminary tasks i will be filming a duologue showing the 180 degree rule.

The 180° rule is a basic guideline that states that two characters  in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. If the camera passes over the imaginary axis connecting the two subjects, it is called crossing the line.

 This is my first post on my blog, for my media coursework I will be posting info about my foundation project piece and other parts of my media work.
