Characters
John (Main Character) - He is the main character and it is his story that we are telling in the film. It is a day in the life of him as we see him get ready and as he gets fired. He as a character represents the greed that the bankers showed before and during the recession; he is what we as the public perceive them to be like. The character although has this level of greed we show that he has the same fears as everyone else during this downturn but only realises this when he is meet by the tramp. The clothes that he is wearing is a suit which fits the mise en scene of someone that works in an office, however we showed him using transport which some people have suggested doesn’t fit this idea that he has money, but we felt that many people in London use the transport system that we have so this is a better fit to this convention.
Tramp – This character is a representation of the public during this economic downturn, and the way that the bankers have treated us during this recession only looking out for themselves and showing the level of greed that they have. The tramp has a massive part to play in the film as he is the character that shows John for what he is which is greedy. The tramp is the only character that the emotions and thoughts of the main character are provoked from, like in the final scene. At the start the tramp was a little character that just gave some insight into the main character but he became much more important to the story as we developed the script into more depth. The clothes that the tramp is wear fit the mise en scene of the tramp because he is wearing old dirty clothes and has a can of alcohol in his hand which fits the convention of what a tramp usually looks like.
The Boss – The boss although not a big character what he represents is vital to showing what we wanted to tell in the story. We wanted at the start of doing this film to make the boss very powerful and important because we felt that would best suit the mise en scene of that character and that is the convention that we believe a boss to be. However when we thought about it we wanted to challenge this convention, so we made the boss to sound lazy and uninterested in work during the telephone monologue that he has. We see the boss in his office with a suit and an expensive computer on his desk this fits the mise en scene that we wanted to convey when we made the film.
Pictures of Location (Staircase)
This is the location where the protagonist will meet his colleague. The camera angle will be a tilt shot to show the characters less power in the workplace.
Pictures of Location (Entrance 2)
The close up of the bell is to show the technology that most places of business have. This would be used for mise en scene purposes, our character will open the door using this devise.
Pictures of Location (Entrance)
This the location of the front entrance of the office building. This is an option that we are considering, to include this shot in our film. The entrance could be used to show the office building more closely.
Pictures of Location (Bus Stop)
This is the location of the bus stop that we will use in the beginning of our film, to show the characters journey to work. We chose this bus stop because it has a frequent bus flow, and will make it easier when shooting.
Pictures of Location (Office)
This would be the location of the office building, that the character works at. This will be the establishing shot in our film. We chose this building because it fitted the mise en scene of an office.
