rough cut

For our feedback we are particularly interested in what people think of the soundtrack and should there be more? The simplicity is intended as it goes with the theme of our film but we don't want it to be to dull. Also, we would like to know peoples view on the storyline and if the content in our video is misleading in anyway towards the story line. Feedback will be much appreciated.

Today after college we are planning to film the 'gang' sequence, which are presented in the flashback format. We will be recruiting several of our close companions, so that there will be a natural on screen chemistry. Preferably we will use a setting that contains graffiti on a run down wall to create the atmosphere of a deprived area.

Setting - Office Area

We've found a location where we're planning to shoot the office scene of the protagonist frantically working. The setting is located within the college and i currently used as a utility area for the cleaners etc. We believe that it conveys the appropriate and desired atmosphere, as it is dingy and dark.

Title Font

We've found a font title that we've chosen. We believe it matches convention of films such as 'This is England'.

Title Shortlist

We still haven't come to a solid conclusion in reference to the film title. However we have shortlisted the title 'Victus Vir'. This would also act as the name of the protagonist. 'Victus' is a pun of 'Vicus' which translates to 'Street' in latin. 'Vir' is a direct translation to 'Hero' in latin. We believe the term 'Street Hero' would be relevant as the protagonist os of heroic nature, but on a smaller scale - on the streets; as opposed to a Roman war hero, Victus would be the contemporary equivalent.

However there are several problems which have occurred to us. for example, the name 'Victus Vir' appears to be out of context and of some eastern European decent, whereas our character is a British detective.
