Cast, Costume and Props

I will be playing a pirate. I will wear black eye shadow, torn black trousers, a muddy green t-shirt and a black bandanna with a skull on it.

Darren Stapleton will play a pirate. He will be wearing black eye shadow, black torn trousers, a muddy green t-shirt, a black jacket and a pirate hat.

Tom High will play a ninja. He will be wearing a black dressing gown and a bandanna around his mouth.

Jonny Ellis will also play a ninja. He will be wearing a black coat, a folded bandanna around his head and black trousers.

Connor Laurie will be playing the head ninja. He will be wearing a white karate outfit. His weapon will be real nun chucks, we will have to keep this out of the public view so we don't scare anyone or get in trouble for possessing it. Luckily Connor's dad does karate and he has permission to use his gear.

My final decisions

For my film I will be an action/adventure film in the Catton Park woodland area. I will film just before it starts getting dark, so about 3-4pm because I am basing my film at night and I don’t want it too dark incase the camera can’t pick up anything.

My story is based on pirates verses ninjas. The pirates steal a very valuable stone from the ninja’s in their hide out whilst they are off guard, the ninja’s then realize the stone is missing and run off chasing the pirates off in the distance into the woods. There is then a suspense chase with one on one chase (so there will be one ninja after one pirate) and weapons will be pulled out just as the two minutes ends. I want to finish it off at an intense moment to make the audience want more.

Ideas for the main task

I have thought of a few things for my main task, I've been thinking that I could base it on something I'm really into or something that I really like.

I've been watching a lot of Azumanga Daioh, a Japanese comedy anime created by Kiyohiko Azuma, and I think it would be a great idea to base it on a group of school children from this anime because I find them hilarious and addictive.

Another idea that has been occurring in my mind a lot is making a film based on pirates and ninjas fighting. Recently me and my friends have been having funny arguments on who's better, pirates or ninjas. It would be great if my 2 minute intro to a film had a fight between them, but you never find out who wins, this could lead the audience into becoming an active audience and making the end up themselves.
