Four Walls
This is a draft for the logo of my movie intro. I decided on a title for the film and a basic idea of the logo, pretty basic, the logo inside a box to suggest being boxed in and seeing as the title is a different way of describing a room it kind of makes metaphorical sense. Even though this a rough draft only made in 5 minutes on Photoshop I really like how it turned out, I'll leave my brain to come up with something awesome in the subconscious for a day or two, but I'll have another go at making something good.
The main thing I wanted to do with the film is for the majority of it to be set in an interrogation room, the story unfolding in spoken form from the characters, no flashbacks just everything described by the characters. The story's main protagonist is a detective called Jonathan Spencer, a detective in his late 30s currently working on a case about a serial killer who they have little idea about. Spencer is asked to interrogate another serial killer, Jason Ward, who has just been arrested after being caught in the act of killing his latest victim. Even though Ward has killed around 5 victims and suspected of at least 6 more, he is only in his early twenties. There is very little else known about Ward by the police and has been brought in to be interrogated to help find out more about him. Spencer has been asked by one of his colleagues to interrogate Ward about his murders.
Spencer finds out through interviewing Ward that Ward thinks he has killed at least 15 people. Spencer also finds out that Ward marks each victim by cutting the right index finger ligament on the right hand just in the fold of the wrist, Ward says that when the bodies are found, they will easy to identify as who killed them.
I haven't worked out the rest of the film, but I'll get there eventually.

Preliminary Task
It wasn't exactly hard for us to come up with an idea for someone walking into a room, saying a few lines and then exiting. The four of us, Jake, Evie, Bill and Me all got into a group. My first idea was gangsters, which eventually turned into British gangsters who deal sanwiches at low prices of 10p and who are in a loving relationship. I'm not sure if we were going for comedy or not, but either way it turned out like that. Our project turned out as being comedy from the outset. It's set in a music department cupboard because that is all that we could find. When we got in their we could only fit two people in along with the places for the different aspects of the camera angle. Unfortunately we had to leave someone outside, which was Evie, although it was a short task so it was only for about 10 or so minutes.
Evie didn't seem too concerned about the sounds coming from inside the cupboard. And how we'd got to the final storyline inside the cupboard. We made most of the detail of the gangsters inside the cupboard, our original idea was just to have some gangsters who deal sandwiches. It was eventually extended to cover a loving relationship, cramped conditions, awkward snatching of drugs and money and a small conversation about what was in the sandwich.
Instead of telling about how weird it is, you might aswell watch it;
P.S. It's in black and white cos we're cool.
