Planning as of 21st January

This is the result of our original planning on Friday 21st January after agreeing on our sequence First of all, we wanted to establish a storyline for our film, so started putting ideas together developing Sam's initial idea. We decided that we would have a teenage boy called Jack who is involved in a drug deal in the wood. He oversees the burial of a body but and is a witness however his drug dealing makes him an anti hero. He cannot tell anybody because he drops his phone and the killers no who he is, and blackmail him to reveal his drug dealing ways unless he keeps quiet. The story line will naturally develop and change. We brainstormed possible actors, we decided we wanted a boy who was around 6 foot tall and slim/athletic. After going through the names of people in our group we decided on Lewis Allison (A member of our group) as this is most practical and he is an experienced actor. We wanted to film in a wood, but needed somewhere close to home to maximise shooting opportunities and that was accessible during the night when we wanted to film. This made Grovelands and Trent Park difficult, where as The Orchard in Grange Park is close to both Lewis and I and is not locked at night.  We brainstormed Titles, keen on the idea of seeing or watching. This inspired titles such as Dark Witness and Fixation (from fixated). We then settled on The Witness as the film revolves around Jack and he is the witness so this seemed like a perfect title.
