our ideas

Will came up with the idea of a man having nightmares and flashbacks of the wars and conflict he fought in. That was the initial template of his idea but we didn't go into it any further as it was a very ambitious idea. Good but hard to be able to make. Rebecca came up with the idea of a chase scene as an opening which we thought was a good idea. We worked on it and thought of location and costume and characters. We spoke about having a female protagonist as it would challenge stereotypes. We talked about having 3 inexperienced or unprofessional antagonists to introduce a comical element to the film. We're not aiming for a slapstick comedy action like 'Johnny English ' but more like 'Killers' or 'Snatch'. I quite liked the matching suits from 'Reservoir Dogs' so I thought Will, George and I could wear black ties, jackets and a white shirt and trousers obviously.



I want to keep the dark gritty feel of action/crime films because the comedy lightens the mood which is how I think films like "Bronson" and "Snatch" did so well. I put some more thought into costume and realised it would be easier if George and I dressed like thugs instead of well dressed mobsters. I looked at the Dark Knight Rises and the clothes worn by Bane. I like the waxed jacket he wears along with the grey combat trousers.

Something like this is hard to acquire because they normally cost around the £100 mark.
I have a jacket which kind of looks like this so that will do just fine. George and I will be wearing these thug type coats so we look intimidating and so that Will looks classier.
