Throughout our second meeting together as a group, we developed our ideas further and made several changes to the narrative. We realised between ourselves that using a shed in one of our back gardens was not an effective or viable option to execute. Instead, we brainstormed and expanded upon some of our thoughts further, discussing the possibility of drawing and sketching a map onto the floor in chalk, but we eventually came up with the idea of using a piece of cardboard with images in place on it, acting as a map, instead of a 'crime map', which was a more ideal option to implement whilst filming in the winter in Central London. This now leads me on to mention the places of which we agreed to shoot our scenes and shots, these included: Millennium Bridge, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square and Westminster, with the possibility of being able to utilise any remaining time by adding further landmarks and locations to our map.
As the meeting progressed, we established what our main character, a homeless person, would find at a location that was not shown on the map. This would be a 'shifty' looking man, smoking, all dressed in black, who remained anonymous throughout the product. He would later suddenly run off, dropping and leaving a piece of paper on the floor behind him with a note or symbol written on it, as we thought that this would create enigma, suspense, tension and mystery as to what was going to happen as time progressed in the sequence.During this meeting, we also started casting for our characters and voiceover artist and completed and finalised our film's storyboard, as we planned and scheduled our dates and times to go to London as soon as possible to begin shooting our scenes for the project. I have uploaded scanned copies of our storyboard that we created for our opening sequence (click to enlarge):
