Storyboards

 This is the first of our storyboards which is the first 20 seconds of our film, the drawings in this are very crude but we were not going for detail in the pictures, they are only to give the idea of whats going on, they are not worked down to exactly what the shots are going to be like but our film will look very similar to this.

The Don is a newly married man however he refuses to wear a wedding ring as he doesn’t want the criminals that he works with to know that he is a married man as this is his weakness and being married has caused him to change his perspective of life hence the “one last job” that will be featured in the film.

gunman from the 80's. Chris adored his uncle and whilst on a trip away when he was 12 witnessed his1 first murder and because anxious to start
his own body count and follow in his uncles footsteps.

kind person but also a gun wielding killer.

whole operation, even though all of the members of the crew play a large part each, all of the members rely on Matthew to be able to open the safe quickly so they can make a get away before the police arrive. He fools people into thinking that he isn't smart though his slow speech and slurred words although this was only caused by his armature boxing career in his teens when he because the 4th best teenager in the country. Matthew gave up the boxing and turned to a life of crime when he broke his arm in a motorbike accident and realised that he could use his fighting skills to earn respect so he joined a gang.

This is our script that we are using for the film, it is not the longest film  so this is not the longest script, but this script includes lots of stage directions and all the dialogue which will be used in our footage/ film, We plan on putting names on PERSON A, B and C but for the moment they are known as that.

We have made this to tell the actors exactly what to say so they are not confused about whats going on, so we seem professional and were not making what were doing on the spot.

This script is quite detailed and productive which just shows that we know what were doing and the scenes that are to come.
