Just thinking about the over all look of my film was thinking of making it look like Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels the reason for this is that it gives it more of a hard man feel with there use of colours.

I also like the use of mid shots to close ups without cutting between shots and zooming in on the camera. It gives a interesting effect when viewing the film.

Thinking about the opening looking scene of my film to introduce what the character is like as it is the first time we see him. Had a look at GoodFellas like two scene thinking about using them Dale could you have a look at the way it is shot would like your input.

The Story

I am making a film set in a barber shop. The story starts in a small village were everyone knowns everyone and their business. The main character is known through out the town as a mean man and is always seen to be treating people badly. He then one day goes into a barber shop to get a hot towel shave. As he goes into the barbers there is a line but he proceeds past the line and sits in the chair and tells the barber he wants a shave. The barber then starts to put the hot towel on the man and then the shaving foam. However when it comes to putting the hot water on the blade of the cutthroat he puts it on the handle instead of the blade. Then he walks up to the the man and runs the handle over his neck as he does this the man get out of the chair as fast as he can and runs down the street shouting "he has cut my throat he has cut my throat".
