In terms of location we will be using a estate in Tooting

Plot: Dodgy Dan one of the most known gangsters of the street and of the estate is leading Detective Meridan into the block. Detective Meridan tells Dodgy Dan to direct him to where someone he knew died the person who the detective is referring to is unknown at the time. Just as they are outside the block Dodgy Dan puts his hand out and Detective Meridan reluctantly pays him to take him inside the block. Dodgy Dan leads Detective Meridan to a corner on the 2nd floor of the block where you can see splattered blood on the walls. Dodgy Dan tells Detective Meridan this is where he saw the person die and Detective Meridan takes an emotional look at the corner. Dodgy Dan tells Detective Meridan that it will be useless for him to try and chase the killer as you rarely will be able to catch him. Detective Meridan says he has too with passion,anger and aggression and grabs Dodgy Dan onto the wall. Dodgy Dan asks why the person he killed is so important then Detective Meridan then reveals that it is his son that he killed. Then the Film Title Text and background design comes up with the films music playing in the background.

P.S- The film brainstorm was done before we confirmed the actual script therefore explaining the changes in storyline, film title and props.

Draft Survey and Draft Survey Results

1. We asked how old the people are to get a better idea of what are target audience likes.


2. We asked this again to see the difference in answers between the two gender's.


3. We asked this to see how many people like the genre that we want to do.


4.We asked this to get a better idea of what we should do for our opening sequence.


5. Again we asked this to get a better idea of what we should do for our opening sequence.


6.We asked this so we could have a better idea of what location we should use for the opening sequence of are film.


7. We asked this so that we could take some tips from the actor that they said it was favourite if they answered yes to make the sequence more enjoyable.

Survey Results:

      The first question in the survey was asking people about how old they are. From the results we mainly asked young people as there is not nobody that put their age over 30. This helps, us to know that we should have a young target audience

      The second question in the survey was asking people what gender they were. From the results we asked more males then females. Again this helps us to know what kind of target audience we should be looking for.

      The third question in the survey was asking if people liked crime drama’s and if so how much. From the results crime dramas seem to be very popular with nearly everyone saying they are a fan of them. This helps us to know that this was the right genre for our target audience.

       The fourth question that was asked on the survey was what do people expect from an opening sequence of a crime drama. From the results all of the answers were mainly balanced and equal however starting the opening scene of a crime drama with a dialogue was unpopular. This helps us to swerve from starting the film this way.

The fifth question that was asked on the survey was what main plot of a crime drama would catch most people’s eye. From the results we found out that a gang death was the most popular plot for a crime drama.  We can use this information to revolve our storyline around a gang death.

      

 

       The penultimate question that was asked on the survey was what location would you expect from an urban crime drama. From the result we found out that the most expected locations people expected from an urban crime drama was an inner city or an estate. This helped us as we are now able to combine both ideas and film our film in an inner city estate.

       The final question that was asked on the survey was if people had a favourite actor/actress/director. From the result we found out nearly everybody didn’t really favour anyone apart from 1 person who put down Hugh Jackman. This helped us as we know now that we don’t have to get any particular actors to film in our film.
