Opening Ideas

1. Characters

1.1. The storyline states that the main character is a photographer, preferably female. We choose to concentrate on a female gender as you do not typically receive theses as the main character in thriller movie. Allowing a strong connection between both genders. The Photographers personality will be shy but intelligent, always knowing what’s going on around them. Other characters will be models and the public, but these people would not be the highlight of the film as we concentrate more on the photographer.

2. Costume and Props

2.1. As the main character is the photographer we believe that they should be dressed relaxed, but suited to their career. This helps to make the photographer seem normal. For the extras we have chosen to have those dresses in normal clothes as they will be the models on shoot or members of the public.

2.2. To convey our storyline we need the use of props. These will be need within the darkroom as will help to convey the process of producing a photo. It will include things like chemicals, camera film ect. We will also need props for the studio including lighting, backdrops ect. But the most important prop will be the photographers camera.

3. Titles

3.1. We are in need of a title to produce our film and there are a few ideas in mind. The first one being 'Library Of Life' - this connects to the storyline as the photographer has a personal librarys which stores the lives of other people. Our second idea is 'Negatives' - this relates to the storyline because a camera films indervidual photos are called negatives and it also relates to the future/fate of the other people.

4. Storyline

4.1. A Photographer sets up shoots for people, but when the photographer goes to look through the camera lens they can see the models future or fate. The Photographer then goes to store these photos in a personal library as they hold their future; but once the Photographer dies the future of other people is left to someone else.

5. Opening

5.1. We believe that the opening should be the process of what it takes to develop photos in the darkroom. After the darkroom footage the audience should then be taken to a studio shoot. Here the audience will see what happens through the eyes of the photographer, visualising a models fate or future.

6. Locations

6.1. Locations will be simple, places relatable to everyone. The main emphasis being the photographer, most filming would take place in studio, darkroom and the personal library. These particular locations will relate to the photographers personality and career.
