Update

Ok so i am filming the section with my cousins son (Jason as a child) on sunday. It will probably take some time to get it right, but it is not a long part so it should be ok. As long as we get the child's part right, we can do the part without him another time, because i can edit it in.

An update with the pictures, i am struggling to get a sunny day, the weather forecast isnt looking good, i might have to go to the beach no matter what weather, and just take the pictures. They are vital for the opening, but it will have to be cloudy.

I am still looking for the video of the oil rig burning to have on the TV, it is hard because none of the school computers allow youtube, so the work has to be done at home. I will continue looking and when i have found the best one i will upload it.

My ideal actors

 so if i could have any actors i would have :

Jason: Russel Crow       

Jasons girlfriend : Amber Heard   

Mark: Hugh Laurie 


Julia: Judi Dench 

Bad guy: Heath Ledger




These would be my ideal actors in my film if i could have them.

Credits

I just remembered i had to put in some credits in, im not sure whether to have julia looking at a few pictures and have on the back some credits, or have them appear in the establishing shot.

The Script

Establishing Shot- Down a street, all the houses look the same. Camera moves to a house and to the front door/window (tbd).
Cuts to close up of a picture of Mike and friend on oil rig. Julia turns over the picture to see writing on the back.
Phone rings.
Julia picks up "Hello?"
She listens to the phone. "Yes"
"What's happened?" she covers mouth and sits down to stop herself from falling. she turns on the tv to see a news reader talking about an oil rig fire. you see it on fire and words scrolling along the bottom 'Massive explosion on oil rig, no bodies found'.
Julia has tears running down her face as she holds the phone to her ear still, she isnt saying anything, just has her hand covering her mouth and tears running down her face. she is breathless-shocked (MUST BE SHOWN).
(child) Jason walks in and looks at his mum crying. camera zooms in on eyes and ends in a bright white flash.

Planning

Sat 5th March: Location scouting, pictures upload after.
Sunday 6th March: Send Script to actors, set a final filming date.

Production Company

I have changed my mind, i am not sure what the final name will be, i like the name "black jack ltd", but i thought about the card idea and i really liked it, i want some cards being dealt out, and someone picks them up and lays them down face up, so you can see a jack of clubs and the ace of spades.
