Costumes & Props

Balaclava Masks Worn by Charlie And Ryan
BB Guns (Not Loaded) Used by Charlie And Ryan
Duffle Bag x2

We want to use these props to emphasise the conventions of the crime genre.

These were our initial ideas, however we came to the conclusion that it would be difficult to be able to use the guns and the balaclava's in our opening sequence as it goes against our health and safety regulations and the gun's especially would pose a diffuculty in public as members of the public could easily become confused and mistake the toy guns for real ones. In the end we decided to only use the two duffle bags as props.

"Finally Rich: The Story of Keith Cozart" Synopsis

Finally Rich: The Story of Keith Cozart

The opening sequence follows 2 Teenagers trying to acquire a substantial amount of money. To do this they hold up a local convenience store but things don't all go according to plan.

That was our old idea but we had to change as the first idea was very hard and difficult to perform.We then changed to a mysterious exchange between characters who the audience don't know a lot about.This kept to our original genre and had shared some of the same conventions but it was easier to find a place to film.The audience will follow their journey as they make their way through an empty location, before eventually meeting and exchanging duffle bags then walking back into the direction they came from.We believe this to be an effective opening sequence as it creates enigma and introduces the characters effectively through conventions such as costume and the contrast in camera shots.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

In our first meeting we worked together to create a rough storyboard of what our film is going to look like as well as a mind map which we used to go over ideas concerning shots,props etc. In the end,we didn't end up using all of our ideas as we intended to but we believe that creating a storyboard and mind map before filming helped us to get a rough idea of what we wanted to do.
