Organisation of Resources

The first thing we set out to organising was costume for the opening sequence. We did extensive research into existing films that fit the sub-genre of spy films that we aimed to conform. This led us to films such as "Charlie's Angels" and "Mission Impossible". We discovered that the traditional attire for spies is nearly always black, tight fitting clothing, so we attempted to add this to our film. We also added sunglasses to add a "cool and suave" aspect to the characters and the female actors wore high heels to make them appear more slick and agile.

 Props were also a huge part of our title sequence as they were key in helping to communicate the crime genre and "spy" sub-genre. Typical props used in spy films are guns, sunglasses, gadgets etc. and this was extremely prominent in "Charlie's Angles" and "Mission Impossible." We incorporated guns and sunglasses into our title sequence but unfortunately did not have the time or budget for expensive and complicated gadgets. We used these to develop the spy sub-genre and to remain in keeping with similar films to attract an already established audience.






















The location scouting was pretty easy for our group to do as we had locations that we wanted to use already planned. We used the TV Studio in the college to film the interior parts of the title sequence, and Meg's house, a member of the group to film the exterior. 

The casting was a vital part of the title sequence as we were first unsure about the type of spy film we wanted to create. After finalising the storyline we decided to cast the 4 group members as the main characters. We were aiming to have the suave edge that Charlie's Angels portrayed and felt this would be better done with the actors we had. We also decided against bringing in extras as they could be unreliable and would disrupt the filming process.


     Our opening sequence did not feature any dialogue so a script was not a vital part of the planning for our group. We used the storyboard to help us create a shot list and used that as our main resource and guide when filming, as oppose to a script.
