Production company logo

We have chosen two different designs for our logo for 'pizza plant productions' they are both stylish and can be easily recognised by viewers. I personally prefer the one on the left as it is simple and more suitable for the genre.

Change in time period

We have chosen to change the time/genre period of the film from 'Film Noir' to 70's/80's period. this is because e have found that making the scene and set that period will be easier for us being in the 20's, meaning pre-war costumes may not be available. music from that time period may not be appropriate. where as the 70's/80's period can be easy to produce a scene, we can use disco lighting which will be easily available. Also we have found the perfect genre of music from this time period, Jazz Fusion.  

Location

The scene of the set will be in a dark club lit by disco lighting, and gloom red atmosphere, candle light on the tables. the set will include a round table, with 6 chairs seating the main characters. there will be brandy glasses on the tables and the scene of a poker game mid-game, cards in hands, money/watches/jewellery/valuables in the middle of table. with crystal glass, slightly filled with brandy. lighters on the table. with a smoggy atmosphere (from chain smoked cigar). With sound of pino and jazz fusion in the background


The location of our film set will be in the drama studio, this is a perfect location as it is blacked out. meaning we can create a night scene in a club, where there is no natural light. we will collect a round table and through a black cover over it. a pack of card and i will bring in a couple of crystal glasses in from home and fill with apple juice. There is a smoke machine available in the drama room with will create a smoggy atmosphere. We will bring in a piano and take a few shots of  the band playing (alex, ash, matt,) who will be used as extras in the film.

Props

In our Gangster type film. Authentic props are needed, such as revolver guns, top hats, cigars, brandy glasses, braces, black suits with white shirts underneath.        

Character costume: Smart business wear. Typical of the 60's-70's era. including, hats, ties/bow ties, braces, suits etc.

Having this style uniform is vital for our film to keep its era authentication. Also the use of props, because if you were now to look at a film that includes intimidating men with slick hair in a corner of a club smoking cigars, drinking brandy wearing suit & ties that look quite scruffy. The viewer will automatically think it is a gangster film. filmed in the mid-late 1900's.
