Pitch for Title Sequence...


Our Pitch for our title sequence...

Costs
The Cost of the film would be expensive if made as there will be many special effects. Due to the explosions and flashy car chases needed within certain scenes. Plus the time element may end up costing the studio quite a bit of money as we want it to be filmed in certain conditions, under certain lights and for it to be edited in a certain way. So all of this may take a lot of time to get it exact for it to evoke the right emotions of betrayal, deceit and fearsome natures. Also the amounts in which the actors will be paid will be a considerable amount, within the millions margin. We believe they are much needed as we believe that this amount is feeble to the growth profit that will be created from them appearing within the film. We have also chosen martin Scorsese to direct our film, as he has plenty of previous knowledge of this genre of film it will be easy for him. This would be a massive time saver as well, therefore he would be worth the money it would cost us to employ him.

Actors/Characters
The actors that we would use if this were to be made into a real movie are Tom Hanks and Jet Li as our two lead roles. We decided upon using Tom Hanks as the investigator, as a group we feel that he could convey the right amount of emotion but still be very detached from the scenes. As this is a key element we want for the investigator for him to be emotionally detached from his fellow characters within the film. We spoke of how for our criminal role we wanted Jet Li to be him. As our gangsters will be that of triads and Jet Li has played a very successful gangster in many movies. We think that he will bring the right characteristics of a scary and devious criminal to the role.

Director
We have chosen to use martin Scorsese to be the films director as we think that he will bring a lot of film knowledge. As he has a lot of history with gangster and crime movies and he was apart of the film "The Departed" and in this film it incorporates a similar narrative to ours. The way in which he made this film is interesting and we would want him to incorporate a few elements from the film "The Departed" into our film. We think his camera and editing techniques will give the film a darker and mysterious edge to it.

Our plans
We have a plan to make the film have sequels, as we want to express this through the title sequence. for e.g. naming it PI means that if there was a sequel then we could just add a brief title below the main title. Also by giving the title sequence a catchy song and using a pacific typography that evokes the darkness and devious nature of the film. This means that audiences would be able to easily refer back to the film at any time.
