The chosen costume for my character, Big Arth, consisted of a pair of pyjama's. The pyjama's portray the fact that my character is high and doesn't go out of the house much. This is similar to James Franco's drug dealer character of Saul in 'Pineapple Express' who also wears pyjama's in the film.
The chosen costume for Luke B's character, Jimmy, was mainly casual clothes (T-shirt, jeans, trainers etc.). His clothes show he's more outgoing than Big Arth.
The chosen costume for the Drug Lord was a black suit and sunglasses for a stylishly menacing appearance which portrays his personality in the opening.
The chosen costume for the Drug Lord's goons were leather jackets and jeans for a dark yet also sylish look.
Props
The list of props used in our Crime opening are as follows -
Clock
Fish Tank (Deleted Scene)
Can of Coca Cola
Cutlery (Deleted Scene)
Whisk (Deleted Scene)
Teddy Bear (Deleted Scene)
Rubber Chicken (Deleted Scene)
Plastic Severed Leg (Deleted Scene)
Plastic HandgunsKnife
Scissors
Plastic Revolver (Deleted Scene)
Sunglasses (Deleted Scene)
Keys
Multiple Tables
Some of these were either used or meant to be used for cutaway shots (clock, fish tank), some were used for character and story effect (weapons, cutlery, rubber chicken, severed leg) and others were simply used as they were available to use at the time (table, chair etc.)
Locations
Around 3 locations were used for our Crime opening footage. These included Luke B's house, mainly his living room, an empty school down the road from Luke B's house, and Yale College's filming studio. Luke B's living room in his house was used for Big Arth's and Jimmy's home, the empty school was a great location for Jimmy's drug transaction and kidnapping, and the filming studio, darkened with a single table and light for effect, was perfect for the Interrogation scene between Jimmy and the Drug Lord. Fortunately, all 3 locations were extremely close to each other so we didn't have to travel far to record our footage.
Casting
The people used in our Crime opening footage was -
Luke Mallia - Big Arth
Drug Lord
Drug Dealer (in scene with Jimmy and unknown person exchanging drugs and money)
Luke Bravin - Jimmy
Charlie James - Goon #1 (armed)
Haydn Kidd - Goon #2
Our teacher was not very happy by the fact that I was not one or two characters, but three. However, footage showing me as the Drug Lord was cut so that you could only see the back of me and you only see the back of me briefly when I'm playing the Drug Dealer in the drug transaction with Jimmy so it wasn't too much of a problem.
