Production Concept: My Package

For my Production Concept package I am going to be presenting a mix of documentation and visual works. I will include the following:
 
   - an in depth synopsis and a complete treatment for my series
   - in depth character backgrounds along with casting
   - my chosen platform, format, broadcaster and audience with research backing up my decisions
   - the alternate endings in properly formatted script form
   - a trailer complete with appropriate channel indents and formatting
   - the title sequence
   - digital mood/tone boards

All of which will be presented with appropriate branding and in the style of a police fact file. Paper documents will be in paper folders and presented like a case file.

Visuals will be on disc and presented in the file similar to evidence. They will contain my trailer, digital mood/tone boards and title sequence.

The character backgrounds will be presented as suspect case files, each of the main characters will have their own background, complete with casting details such as the actors name, previous works and portrait. 

Production Concept: Changes to my Story

There is an exhibition at the Tate Modern that is a one day only event, showcasing a collection of the worlds most valuable pieces of art before they head out of the country for the last time. An organized criminal gang hears about the event and begins to plan the perfect robbery. They study every part of the building, learn every routine and know what happens every minute of every day. They find the perfect disguises; have the right weapons and the best get away vehicles. The heist is sure to be a success and go down in history.

The day of the exhibition comes and the collection arrives as expected. The team is inside, in position and ready for the call. Everything is going perfectly to plan. Shouting erupts in the hall outside the exhibition room and people begin to notice something is happening, so the team decide its now or never. As they begin to draw for their weapons and take control of the room, four armed gunmen burst into the exhibition room and demand everyone to get on the floor. It looks to the public like the whole thing is planned until the team, who have nothing to do with these men, turn to face them almost in a stand off. The collection is leaving; only one team can have it.

Production Concept: Update

My idea needed a lot of work since the green light pitch as my story was very vague and didn’t really present itself as anything new or exciting. Heist films have been done many times in the past but the most successful were presented in ways new and imaginative.

I have been working with a Film and Moving Image Production student from Norwich University of the Arts and together we came up with an idea that is new and original. We focused solely on the heist itself and discussed how we could change what is normally associated with the genre; we looked at conventions and themes and discussed making the heist into a positive thing, we spoke about different types of heist and where possible heists could take place, and we spoke about protagonists, betrayal and morals. After many “what if” discussions I am pleased and confident in the final idea we have come up with.
