This is the power point we used to explain our groups idea and what we would like our opening sequence to b like. The power point only explains what we would like our opening sequence be like but getting hold of and using celebrity actors would be very difficult. 

Media Pitch

Diegetic and Non-Diegetic

Diegetic sound

Diegetic sound is the sound that is visible for example;

• Dialogue
• Sound made by objects 
•   Sound made by props 

Diegetic sound can also been known as "actual sound". Diegetic sound also is identifiable by that yu can either see the sound being made or that that you can identify that the sound originated from the scene or previous scene 

Non-Degetic sound

Non-Diegetic sound is where you cant see/infer where sound is coming from for example;

• Sound track
• Commentary
• SFX

Non-Diegetic sound is often used to add effect to a scene for example set a mood with a backing track.

Non-Diegetic sound can also be known as Commentary sound.

Both of these types of sound can be used to create ambiguity or surprise.

Firearms laws when filming

Firearms laws and use of replica weapons

To allow our group to use a replica weapon we must first go through many procedures to be able to use the prop.

The UK gun law on airsoft weapons states that any airsoft replica weapon must have a "two tone" colour scheem (51% of the weapon must be painted in a unrealistic colour). The problem with this law is for us to be able to film a realistic scene with a airsoft replica weapon is that the gun must look the part so cant have a "two tone" colour scheem. The problem that we face is that this is against the law.

Two tone rifle(similar to what we will be using)

Two tone pistol

To try and overcome this problem we have to contact the "DOH" (firearms department) to let them know when and where we will be filming. after that we will have to contact Thames valley police control to get a URN (unique reference number) which will allow us to film. We have to go through these procedures in case a bystander notices us and calls 999 even though we have a URN the police will still have to turn up. 

Props

Props

I was set the task to source props and equipment. The props I was set to look for was a gun(pistol, rifle like gun) and a mele weapon (like a golf club, baseball bat, spade etc). 

I found a AR15 assault rifle air soft repicla from a friend who will let us borrow it for the filming but to be able to use the weapon in a public place we have to get permission from the police to be able to use the weapon. (Picture below)

We have decied to use a mele wepon like a golf club are a baseball bat or a spade(picture below)
