This room is of my bathroom, i will film this scene from the perspective of the bath but will hold the camera upside down and later rotate the image during post production to achieve the high angled look so the audience can view the toilet lid and understand clearly that the protagonist has hidden the gun like a scene from 'The Godfather'. The difficulties i could have during this scene is the gun could to tape the toilet lid and destroy my idea, to ensure this doesn't happen i will have to include strong stick-able tape like duck or gaffer tape and asses that i have mass amounts of it. The technical difficulties i could have maybe possibly be the contrast issues, i will need to position my actors in front of the window and shoot from the direction of the light or either make sure the lights hits them in a clear and effective way the shows the characters interactions.

This is the bedroom i am going to be shooting the final gun conflict sequence, my main issues are the light shines through the left hand side of the room, i will position the innocent Don on the bed and the crazed Brain holding the gun in front of him. I will have to place more posters and DVD's on the walls and shelves to create the sense of cultured people the characters are and the artistic motivations. The posters will be of gangsters holding guns and demonstrating the rise and fall of the american dream, on a connotation level i could stress the impact and influence the media and other art forms like films determine and glamorize the roles of my characters. Also i will have to change the color of the bed sheets to a more lighter blue so the blood will be reinforced through the mise-en-scene.

For this shot, my protagonist will be walking up the stairs during a progressive dutch angle. My main focus will be the color scheme trying to create a black and white imagery referencing to suspenseful film noir classics of the late 1940's and 1950's. I will distort the contrast to ensure that the light looks powerful at the top of the stairs and the character is in shadows, almost creating this edge of suspense with powerful lighting almost he is entering the unknown.
