4. Costume - Key Characters
Vinnie - Black suit with a skinny black tie.
The Don - Black suit no tie just white shirt underneath
Tony Masmurrattoes - Blue suit with fancy gold tie ( Not actually Gold)
Johnny Flick Eyes - Black Fedora with Black suit no tie (if available use a bow tie)
The Goons/Extra characters with no lines - Any colour not significant but withought a tie or
anything around the collar.
5. Key Characters - Cast
Vinnie (Protagonist) -(External cast) Mason Dillnott . Vinnie needs to be skinny and have longish hair to be slicked back in
order for the desired look I am going for. So I hope to cast Mason Dillnott, Mason is eratic and quiet but I believe has the
ability to present concealed emotion which is easy to relate to Vinnie and so would be a good fit to cast.
The Don - Older look must be comfortable with drawing on face.(Facial Hair) James Morris. James Morris would be a
comfortable fit for the character as James is able to have the ability to use both emotions to portray the character. James
Morris is also a perfect fit he has the ability to portray both emotions.
Tony Masmurrattoes - Desirably Someone with slick hair back – David Edmunds. David would be a good fit due to his
aggravating nature and I think he has the ability to portray the annoying persona that is Tony.
Johnny Flick eyes – Desirably someone small and skinny preferably Cameron Frullo. If the cast member is availiable He
would be a good fit with a History in Acting and the his appearance is desirable.
6. Crew
I will be doing the cinematography and Filming and editing. Solo.
Budget - £30 for props. This is a Maximum Budget and likely will not be needed as we can use
preowned items such as pass me down suits etc. £15 on a fake Gun Prop and another £15 on
suit accessories like a Fedora.
Launch Plan : due April/May – This is near the official date it is due and also gives me time to
Edit the film.
7. Contingency Plan
If something goes unplanned or I am not on time – I will be able to dedicate free time to work and catch up to the plan I set out for myself.
Dedicating free time would be the most obvious and easy solution to the problem
If Something goes wrong in filming or editing - Give time to address the issue and resume the activity. If the film or editing gets corrupt be
sure to make copy's and ensure I have back ups for the editing digitally.
If suits are hard to gain access to - Use casual clothing like stack suits if available but more trashy clothing. – More alike modern crime
syndicates/ Gangsters. If adding Track suits/ Casual clothing will change the time period but script and rest still apply.
If the weather is not as needed in the scene – I will need to plan the filming for another day and rearrange my filming schedule. This is the
worst scenario and most likely I will film unless the weather conditions are extreme and are not suitable filming conditions.
The possibility the song I am intending to use would be surrounded by copyright and legal issues. If I cannot use the song “Uber capitalist
death trade”. I will be able to use The song Pure Exhaustion as this is one of my bands sng we have recorded and would not be an issue
with legally as we have not copyrighted it and I am in the band giving me a right to use it ethically.
If there are issues with the ethical use of Guns and violence, I may need to restrict the use of guns and Kill Tony off Camera, similarly the
final scene would be rid of the body's hanging and the restriction of the toutred screams during the credits. These solutions are likely to
solve any ethical issues anyone might have with the Movie. However It would be easier to under go age restriction on YouTube If uploaded
on YouTube this as well as a disclosure in the description of the video stating it is for 15+ ages only. If the ethical issues become worse a
disclosure warning at the star of the video may become necessary.
9. Key scenes
I have changed the location and some details of the key scene 4 such as
some dialogue, and the chase scene has more details. From the
changes of the pitch.
I have decided to revise the choice of setting the movie in the 30s,
although I have made several other amateur 30s gangster movies in
preparation of filming Johnny Flick eyes. The problem is the setting
around the characters I can get the costumes and time appropriate
props but when filming outside the modern environment the 30s
aesthetic may e more difficult to keep up such as if filming on a road
the risk of a car being seen is quite high. However if I do not encounter
any of these issues the 30s setting would be suitable and available to
use. As suggested during the meeting to revisit the idea of the 30s
setting as well as confidence issues during the pitch itself.
