Mood Board

Below is a compilation of all the things that have inspired me thus far and the themes I intend to incorporate. This project is quite dependent on the cultural elements so I want to use the Japanese culture intertwined with British culture, both of which are rich in tradition to make our film trailer seem genuine. Our plot subverts the basic gangster crime plot and can also be considered as a hybrid between gangster crime and action thriller because the story still revolves around the affiliation with organised crime however is not about an American mafia/mob. Our unique selling point is our female lead. 

LOCATION
In terms of location, my team and I have decided that high rise buildings, offices and modern, sleek rooms would be the best place to film indoor scenes. 

As for the outdoor scenes, we intend to use the busy streets of central London for our advantage. China Town in Leicester Square would be the ideal place to film because it is one of the most culturally appropriate places to film. We have made the conscious decision to wait for Chinese New  Year to film scenes because at that time we will be able to witness China Town come to life with festivities. Below are images of China Town during the day and during the night.
