titus keate home pre-production producing a film opening study notes and more
Titus
We want to make it ok so we want to make a film and we want to make a crime thriller because we like criminals we have to discuss ideas of them on the top of my head.
Jacob
Opening On what on my laptop Apache manor yeah that's fine should start leak did I show you the silence of the lambs opening?
Titus
I've seen the sides of the lambs over me yeah.
Jason
Yeah, so running through the woods except instead of the police officer said it's a criminal.
Titus
That’s messed up.
​
Jacob
and they've just killed someone
Titus
OK, sure.
Jacob
running from the scene and something could happen and then it like cuts to later and the detectives get on to the crime scene they ok this sounded better my head but something like we have something to do with doing a crime you don't show the criminal I guess I don't know something like that and we have them cannon lake we know something's are from the beginning and we have established a like two main detectives I guess one and thinking is quite he's lazy because he's like veteran kind of detective use.
Titus
classic yeah.
Jacob
he doesn't do much work is well established in the force so he's he's kind of like to hear his is a steam got his head and he is eithertisticle night he thinks he can do nothing and and then you have his car like his partner who's very.
Titus
it's just showing the force.
Jacob
yeah he's just doing the voice and constantly working very hard work and gets none of the credit.
Titus
yeah.
Jacob
and he's coming like I guess insecure because he is kind of aggravated it be the other one.
Titus
which Lucifer character?
Jacob
the newbie I can't do that because he’s lazy .
Titus
Great dynamic.
Jacob
Yeah, dynamic.
Titus
good good, something like that.
Jacob
I showed you the picture of the shot I made as a mockup.
Titus
so they’re looking down at the body and one’s.
Jacob
Yeah, actually yeah that could be the establishing shot of the film, like we do our titles and stuff and then it fades from black to them looking down at the body and stuff, so we should probably scrap the criminal thing. I think that would be a really good first shot and we would like cut to the criminal or the crime or something.
Titus
yeah I, I, That’s awesome two openings.
Meetings like these are curtail to a film's production. "without proper ground work you, have no proper ground to start constructing the stable frames before proceeding to more refined materials in preparation to start building out the basic layout of what will come next". Ideas grow, and without proper documentation they can surely get out of hand and, more importantly, out of budget.
