Concept Board Idea's

This will be a quick draft of sme idea's I have had for the concept board, covering the main aspects of it, and what we can include in our film.


Mise-en-scene;
The gangsters and the hero will be dressed in black suits (some of which I have), fedora hats required.
The femme fatale will be dresses in a gown, with curled hair.
Hero and Femme Fatale will be holding high class glasses, sat at bar.
Gangsters to be holding either tommy guns or pistols; in the three gangster set up, the two on the outer sides may both hold tommy guns, while the leader( in the middle ) will hold a pistol, or all three may have pistols.
Location; to be finalised - Ideas include bars and restraunts.

Possible plot synopsis; Our hero is a gambler, and has recently had a strike of luck in winning a very valuable diamond necklace, the problem is, it was won against a notorius gangster, who believes he was cheating to win the game. The film begins with the hero giving this necklace to his girlfriend, who is the femme fatale, just as the gangster and his henchmen arrive to take it back.

Sound; we plan to make most of the speech diagetic, with some (hopefully original) music playing in the background, although the speech may have to be mimed, and then foleyed.

Lighting; we intend to keep the lighting as minimal as possible, to enhance the dark and gritty atmosphere.
