Location
We as a group have been discussing many locational ideas and have come up with the choice of two setting of where the financially deprived boy will be filmed and have currently agreed on using Dave's house to film the wealthy boy. Two Current Options for deprived boy's location; Both located under bridges, the first one is located in Ashtead not far from my house, which might be considered useful to have as a base for equipment and editing, this alley way which can be shot from both ends as it is a straight clear walk through.




The second location; in Leatherhead slightly more out of the way, along side the river mole, it is slightly more dusty and open to the public allowing more sunlight in, which i think we might not want, as the deprived boy will be based around dark, depressing colours to set the mood and character persona.


Introduction to poor boy, he steals from shop..
Costume ideas
Deprived Brother





In our opening two minutes we must portray the deprived boy as an ungroomed, scruffy character. We have narrowed down our ideas for the characters outfit, thinking about all the possibilities of generalisations as though to have a stereotypical view on the character to be easily identified by the audience.We have decided upon this hoodie to be worn by the deprived brother as it is scruffy with marks of paint on it,

we also decided on a specifically plain t-shirt as this will be covered by the hoody.
Tracksuit bottoms which are also stereotyped to be worn by a specific casual tatty person;

These are the trainers we have chosen to use for the deprived brother as they are scruffy and not well looked after, or worn therefore identifying his wealth with a lack of new footwear.

Wealthy Brother
In our opening two minutes we must portray the wealthy brother as being well groomed and a neatly presented character. We have narrowed down our ideas for the characters outfit, thinking about all the possibilities of generalisations as though to have a stereotypical view on the character to be easily identified by the audience. We feel we have successfully achieved this by using labels which are well known easily identified by characters to predict on the characters persona. In this case we have chosen abercrombie as this is well recognised as being an upper class brand. Below is an abercrombie shirt;

We are currently unsure on whether to portray the character as a smart wealthy boy or a casual wealthy boy, the shirt being the smart option and below the polo shirt being the casual option.

Location Research.

Research
There are a couple movies in which are similar to my groups. These are 'Twins' and 'The Parent Trap'. They are similar as they both include a pair of twins which are from completely different ends of the spectrum. Which is the same as our movie which we are going to film. Both films have a huge amount of information on www.imdb.com .
Music Research
I found this music artist who is currently unsigned, therefore using his music wouldnt be against copywright regulation. I will ask him if he would allow us to use his music for our coursework through his youtube page, in which he has around 40 songs. I think a few of these songs would suit the genre of my film. http://www.youtube.com/user/MtEdenDnB08
