Character Inspiration

Rorschach a character from 'The Watchmen" inspired me to create my character The Agitator (Arthur). Rorschach is not quite a super hero but he is not a villain, he is neither; i saw him as a more realistic character. As i want my film to appear as a more realistic story i saw Rorschach as i brilliant character to base mine on. He voice is mysterious, and his story is not clear which is similar to my character. Rorschach i independent in his actions and does really trust other people. Rorschach helped me create a better character profile for The Agitator. 

Other independent film company logos - Analysis

A lot of these logo are basic and clear to read. Whilst a lot of them are neutral colours like black and white. Some incorporate images however the main focus is on the company name, so the company is remember by inspectors. The logo are not over complicated making them memorable. Some of the better known companies such as New Line Cinema and Lionsgate; have modernised there logos as the have more money then the other companies. I have my my logo unique to these logos to show originality and to make my company stand out.

Casting

Casting

The main character (Arthur) is an young adult. When we first see him we want him to look exhausted  and lifeless. Arthur is not your average bloke, he is an intellectual. However he has a mild case of autism. Arthur does a lot of thinking; this has lead to his depression. He had a good english up bringing therefore he is well spoken. Availability and Reliability is of great importance for the film to work when casting a role. We originally has Russell Crow in mind for the part. However an independent actor  called Jack Pilditch suit the character and is with in our budget. We also agreed that if we were to use this unknown actor; the film would come across as more of a believable story.  

The Villain (The salamander) is a middle aged male. He is an assassin for the corrupt and the murderer of Arthurs family.  He works for the prime minister in secret. He does not speak or communicate with anyone. He takes orders and kills his targets; he is roofless. He kills anyone that interferes with his plans. We did have Tom Hardy in mind for the part however he was unable to fly over from america. Charlie Tossell is our substitute; a independent  British actor. He is a good match for the role and has a very similar acting style to Tom Hardy. 

The side man (Bill) is a young adult. When we see him, we want it to be visually clear that he  has some sort of mental problem, which can be controlled. Bill is completely mad, but almost so mad that he's clever, as we learn it was his madness that got him and Arthur out of the Mental Asylum. We do not know anything about Bills background. All we know this that he need Arthurs help. Bill never talks about him self, only about Arthur; he is obsessed. We have cast a british actor called Harley Francis to portray bill. Harley has done a lot of work with Illumiharli in the past, this is why we have cast him as he is reliable and a brilliant actor.

Location

Location 

We will be filming the opening sequence to 'Super Reality' on my property, therefore i know that it is legal to film in this location. The location is inside a house. We will be filming in a safe environment within the next few weeks, i have provided permission to the camera crew to film on my property. The location is our second favorite as it was not legal to film in our first choice location. Therefore what we wanted to achieve in our favorite location might be a lot harder to film is our second favorite location. However we still believe it is achievable. The location is in a very quiet area, which is to our advantage as the character is alone is the first part of the scene, there will be no public or traffic in sight, this shows he is isolated. We will be filming at night to give a more triller feeling to the opening; therefore the location is suited to the genre. The location is basic; which is what we watch but we will be using props and lighting to make the location more interesting. For the lighting we will be using a desk side lamp to create an enigma.

Initial Ideals - Logo

Here are the Initial logo ideas for my film company; Illumiharli. The Illuminati symbols inspired me to sketch the designs above, i then chose my favourite and most practical design for the companies logo. I chose Illumiharli as the name for my company as it is a pun relating to 'Illuminati', suggesting Illumharli rules over the other companies like Illuminati supposedly rules the world.

Improvements Will Be Made!
