Style and Tone

Our thriller is set in an urban setting on the streets of London.
Our plan is to take advantage of London's flashy buildings and dark streets to create a dark, yet fast paced tone, similar to the introduction of welcome to the punch. Our lighting will mainly consist of streetlights as we will be shooting at night, making it easier to incorporate darkness and a general dreary
atmosphere to our introduction to create a sense of uneasiness in our viewers, we will possibly use a blueish filter to create a modern feeling in the dark backstreets.  The colours will mainly be grey and black with a large amount shadows to build tension as one character follows the other - We hope to incorporate lots of examples of chiaroscuro to create an edgy feel in the production. We also plan to incorporate shots of large flashy buildings to contrast the dark streets our characters are walking on to further set the tone of the production as dark and ominous.



A scene similar to our action scene would be the armoured truck robbery scene from Heat. This scene captures the fluidity of the robbers we hope to produce and maintains the appearance of organised crime with the use of the costumes. Our action scene will be similar to this in the sense that we hope to use some of the techniques used to create a similar chaotic environment with the use of fast cuts, many different angles and cross cutting to different characters roles within the robbery.
