Film Planning: Developed Idea No.1

The main plot behind our first idea is a young gentleman who cannot race any more. This is due to a previous accident which has occurred. During the scene, he will have emotional flashbacks to his racing career whilst he is at Silverstone circuit.

The character will be seated either in the grandstand or in a viewing point of the track. As he will be in a wheelchair, being seated in a disabled area is a more believable concept.

•  The logistical issue with this will be permission to use the disabled grandstands. On weekdays, when we can film, the grandstands are not for public access. Permission to use these will be difficult to get so areas that we can use may be limited.

The flashback we intend on including will show either racing or the main character preparing for a race. For this, editing will be used (cuts and fading in edit) to highlight the beginning of a flashback scene.

• Due to the time of year we wish to film, racing will be relatively infrequent and may not include cars we desire. A more appropriate decision will be to show the character preparing for a race, as long as suitable racing costumes and costumes for other characters are found.

Finally, a scripted voice-over will be used so audience can gain some background on the story.

• At the Silverstone UTC, we lack high quality sound equipment, so it will need to be sourced from outside of school. We have been informed that Gaby has recording equipment for us to use.
