Today within this lesson we are talking about filming purposes, we will be filming towards this week furthermore confirming characters. We have decided that i would be playing the role of the taxi driver and Akikul will be playing the main character. Kalam will be filming most of the short film however we will be be offering our help, advice and guidance. We are also working on making our pre production folder more effective and trying to gain a better grade on pre production folder. However we ended up with a outstanding issue of where we are going to get a car from so that the we can proceed with the taxi drivers scene. After much contemplation we have decided to ask one of our friends if he can help us out, if that fails then Akikuls aunty will be the 'Plan B' option and if that fails then we will just have to film the main character getting into a stationary car and filming a conversation taking place within the stationary car however having a shot reverse shot while the conversation is taking place so that we can make it seem like the car is moving by editing in some sound effects of a moving car along with some natural sounding background effects. We also sorted out costumes as we will be providing it ourselves for example the security guards which we will be playing ourselves (me if our taxi driver actor dosent back out) will be wearing all black like wearing a black shirt and black trouses which we all have however we will have to get high visability jackets from the performing arts depatment.
We also sorted out costumes for the taxi driver as they would be wearing a sort of tradiotional clothing known as 'punjaab'. We have chosen this costumer for the taxi driver because it is mainly stereotyped by many people that older asian men become taxi or cab drivers. So, taking advantage of this stereotype we have decided to use it as it would help contribute to the cultural theme we have embeded throughout our short film.
This is a sort of 'Mr Bean' outfit that has been replicated through a more modern comedy that has just been released. We have arranged that our main character will be wearing a costume that looks like this in order to help enhance the comedy aspect within our short film as it would portray the main charaqcter as being a typical asian person from abroad.
This is an image (or similar) of the costume that our female character which will be wearing during the day dream. This was inspired by the 'Big Bang Theory' extract that we as a group have watched and that i have previously uploaded onto my blog. This idea of this costume being used is because in most indian films there is a sort of day dream where a women wearing this sort of clothing ends up singing a love song or dancing. This contributed to our ideas because again it runs through the asian culture.
This is what we our friends who will be acting for us to wear this. We got this idea because, practically everywhere you go this is the base of what security guards uniforms are. Even within the college (Leyton sixth form) the security guards dress like this. So this is the reason why we as a group have decided to have our security gueards dress up like this. The high visability jackets may be hard to obtain for the shoot of the film as they might he booked out for other peoples short films however if it is booked out then the blacked out look of the black shit, trouses and shoes will do just fine for this scene.
