Planing: casting

there is not much casting needed, the only cast member who needed an audition was the actor for the main character. Me and Alex have decided the I would play the main character, I have been in many school productions at my old school and I have done many drama and acting classes, this was enough  for both me and Alex to agree on me playing the main character.

There will also be some background characters, who do not really need and audition as they will not have any lines and will be there to mainly there to make the shots look busy and fill the empty spaces.

Planning: final idea

FINAL IDEA

Walking towards camera - cant see face until very end (oldish man)
Flashbacks to race - commentating
cuts back to walking
flashback to the race with more cars - commentating getting more intense, "omg james is gunna win"
Flashback again walking, music instenifys
BLACK SCREEN crash sounds, commentator - -omg i dont believe it - james parker has crashed on the final corner" sad music fades in as newspaper is shown in cut, still commentary 

Cuts back to the man, comes to light "this is my story"

Planing: ideas

planning ideas
First Idea
  • Narration of current character
  • I was only 19 when I saw my dad being taking to hospital, i didn't know this would be the last time i ever saw him alive. (muffled coughing
  • Cuts between now and flashback
  • Up and coming racer crashes because dad dies, now he's back for first race since injury
  • FLASHBACK:
  • WAS:young, over confident (stupid because young), not afraid of anything.
  • brother telling him there dad died.
  • Filming pictures of dad and son
  • Walking towards car, getting ready for the race.
  • Newspaper, "CRUSHING NEWS, young racer's dad dies of cancer, leading to a near-fatal crash
Showing crash - long shot of car, commentator talking over it . cuts to black screen with crash sound happens and echo's out, then fades to several newspapers in a close up and medium shots, with sirens and screams. Narration over the top?


Second Idea:
ALL FLASHBACK,
engaged girlfriend: just broke it off,
Filming pictures of gf and bf
Argument


Third idea
  • Driver out of racing
  • injured bad
  • Narration over the top - "the worst thing that could of happened to me, happened 10 years ago on this day"
  • "But it wasn't too bad, as now I own the greatest racing team in f1, and this is my story of my days in racing, and my days after"
  • Owns a racing team now

Forth idea

Filming pics of dad, coughing, crys, he dies.
racer is heartbroken, but he has a race coming up so he needs to get his head sorted.


"It was the day before my big race when my life was turned upside down" dad dies

"Now i have to do my dad proud, and answer all the critics that thought i wouldn't race"

"This is my time, im doing this for my dad" FADES TO BLACK, TITLES COME UP 

"Unbreakable
