March Production Diary Vodcast


How are group comunicated

We used Facebook messenger to communicate with each other to make sure we were filming on schedule and also making sure we are coordinating our blogs and YouTube channel's.

Here are some screen shots of the chat we created to organise our group.

  These screenshots are only a small proportion of the communication that took place. Furthermore Tom (Shot Type studios) was the team coordinator. I felt this was one of his strengths as we were only ever held by the weather when filming.

Why Did We Pick These Costumes

These are the costume we made a protagonist Agent Cross wear,  and a brief description of why we chose this look


The picture above is the costume used in the gym training scene. As you can see he is wearing a plain white round neck t-shirt which is reasonable tight. We did this to attract a female audience as it encourages the female gaze. We chose the white colour because it signifies peace/surrender. Which of course reflects the action of the character, e.g. working for peace and of course surrendering the bag. Secondly we chose the black shorts for the simple element. Also it provides the idea of ying and yang which of course is the thought that two entities can exist in harmony. This again links to the actions he takes to create peace. Finally the blue shoes had now really significance apart from showing that he was sporty and athletic.






Also for a small part of the gym training scene Tom was wearing this costume (above) which is all black as it is showing him outside of his peace making job. The black colour and casual style represents the urban setting of the film and portrays that there is more about him than his work life.


Above we see the main outfit for the chase scene which is mostly grey. We chose the grey colour as in a business environment you would most likely wear a grey suit. So I thought it would be appropriate to have him dressed an urban street way with the hoodie, but still have is signify to the viewers that he is a professional at work. Finally the shades of grey used are fairly light which signifies good.


Above is the antagonist who is dressed in all black. We did this because the colour black signifies darkness and evil. So this means that we are emphasising the role he plays as the villain.
