Location Planning and Recce

This hallway is where we're going to shoot our first scene. We chose this location as there is a lot of room to move around and is shows that we're shooting in a school and therefore reaches the standard of the brief. We're planning to shoot two of the characters bumping into each other and have a small piece of dialogue in the hallway.

We're also going to shoot in this classroom. This is going to be used for when one of the students receives an email. This again shows that they are in school. The risks are higher in this location than they are in the hallway as there is a lot more room to move around and there are a lot less objects which could cause a hazard to people around.

30 second cut away ideas mind map

Here is a mind map which shows some of the initial ideas I had for the first episode where one of the characters gets tipped off 

-Activist (Adam) drops a piece of paper , Chad gets scared. 

- Two character confrontation Adam-Chad 

-Mysterious stalker following Chad 

-Cliff hanger ending - false accusation 

-Chad receives an anonymous message , gets spooked 

- Action sequence - Mysterious chase scene 

-Action sequence - Fight scene between Chad and Adam 

-Chad's follower only shown through POV 

- The follower is never shown 

(NOTE IDEAS CHANGED AS THE PROCESS WENT ON) 

Video Ideas

The following stills represent a progression of what I wanted the final title screen to look like , I knew that i definitely wanted an eye to represent the treatment which is the centre point of the entire show but i didn't want it to be a picture of just an eye , i wanted it to have some sort of scientific theme to it eg: the top picture has binary code in the background which adds to the effect and gives the picture a persona. 

This picture is more of a refined idea of what I was trying to achieve it has static effect applied to it which gives it that hacker-like personality and also the main point the retina scan around the pupil effect which is what grabbed my attention because it clearly states the MUTR:IX treatment or at least hints it to the viewer.

The pictures below are some of the visual ideas the character of jess and her personality as a computer guru. 

This picture is the anonymous email tip the characters receive of the treatment , i wanted the message to be kind of like a telegram very brief and i wanted it to have a sense of fear the characters would get after receiving it because its from an anonymous source and because its very brief and short.
