Final Task: Costumes

We have decided that the costume for the hit man character will be slightly more casual than the costume for the character who gets killed. We still want to present the hit man as professional, so we will have him wear a suit but without a tie and perhaps the top button of the shirt undone. This will create the sense that the hit man is both professional but casual in his job, emphasising how to him killing someone is just a daily occurrance. An example of this ideas is the characters Tommy and Turkish from the film Snatch.

Final Task: Costumes

We want the costume for the main character in the opening sequence to be a very ordinary representation of a professional individual. We want the audience to be able to relate to this character and believe that what happens in the film could happen to them, which is why we want a very plain costume. For this reason we will use a black suit for the main character's costume.

Final Task: First Meeting

In class we are deciding on the locations and the script for our opening sequence.

Locations:
One of our first ideas for the locations are Canary Warf Tube station in London. This is where the titles will begin.

We have also decided that our other locations will be a small alley near St.Johns College in Oxford and Joel's house, which will be the scene of the shooting.

We also have a first draft of the script (written by Joel Pickard);

“Being a Hitman is a fine art; it appears spontaneous, impulsive, brash. But what you don’t see,  is the meticulous planning, the perfect timing, the outstanding execution.

A Hitmans job is to get away with murder so you’ve got to be bloody good at it or else, well you won’t. Now I can see why most people don’t appreciate the service that I deliver, but you don’t give the post man a hard time for delivering ransom letters or fake cheques.  

I’m just a messenger, with a gun, a middle man if you will. Don’t ask me about my business and I’ll leave yours alone. I’m just there for the hit.”

Final Task Film Pitch

For our final task, we have to create an opening sequence to a film. The first thing we needed to do was create a pitch for the film that we want to create.
