Development of our Idea

Once we had created our mindmap of ideas and also research into the technical codes and conventions we created a new mindmap. This included the character, plot, locations, cameras and the props and costumes in which we had in mind at the time of making this mindmap.

Here is an image of the mindmap:

This mindmap above shows our idea in detail. Our idea is to have a criminal who decides to steals the crown jewels. This is what our opening is based upon. After discussing our location we choose London for the location. One reason why we choose London for our location was because we were trying to create a stylish and modern atmosphere. From looking at the image above, I can also say that we have decided to use mid-shots, close-ups, establishing shots, tracking, panning and tilting.. These establishing shots are going to be at the very beginning so that it establishes the location that we are in.

From creating this mindmap, it has allowed us as a group to clearly see our idea in detail in terms of location, camera, story, characters props and costumes.  From creating this mindmap, it will help us when it comes to creating our storyboard. This will help us for example when we label the storyboard we will be able to remember the types of shot we are using and also then different location in which we have selected to use.
