Product influence

From our story board we developed our idea with setting out to find inspiration and further ideas from existing productions and films and found what we decided for the villain in out production to be based on and “no country for old men” gave the best representation for the antagonist in our project. In this clip below it starts with a wide open desert scene with a secluded petrol station which straight off sets the effect which we would like to achieve. The villain has a different persona to ordinary film villains. Instead of big entrances and stereotypical behaviour. His expression stays the same throughout the conversation not breaking smile or frown hiding his obvious psychopathic nature. The shop keeper slowly showing his concern as he is confused and afraid of what the villain is going to do. This is what we would like the effect the villain in our production to have on the audience to add the sense of fear and mystery 

Storyboard

With the changes we discussed we started to draft an idea and create a story board. so our idea could become a visual developing idea so we can see where we need special attention to improve or change any specific details. The story board we created is a thumbnail sequence which jumps through the major scenes of our sequence. We will then aim to use this to create a shot list and a further detailed idea.

Changes

Changes to our original idea have been rather drastic, the discussion we had with our teacher explained that the idea we initially had was very ambitious and to get the production to a good standard in the time that we have. so we went away and discussed our options. The thought of a modern western came into play and we developed our idea into a basic story. I feel the inspiration for this idea is the love for the song “ecstasy of gold” that featured in “the good, the bad and the ugly”. we pitched the idea to our teacher and we set off and started with our shot list.
