Locations:

Location	Purpose
Recording Studio (Ken Stimpson)	We will use this location for the professional rap star, recording a new song. We will ensure the shots make the location not look like its within a school.
Tom Speechley’s house	Use as the first shot, as the character wakes up. We will use the bedroom, toilet and front door, as part of the opening scene.
Streets/Alley way	We will use Tom’s street and an alley way close by to record shots of the character walking, while listening to music and rapping out loud.

We are using Tom’s normal house as his on screen house as he is just a regular person in the film when we start so if we use his normal house, his regular status will come across. Were using the streets and alley ways to portray the tough struggle it is to get where he wants to be by walking through rough areas. We are using the studio to as it is very professional looking and when Sam will be in it, it will show Sam’s high status compared to Tom’s non-existent status on the outside of it.

Costumes:

Character	Costume
Tom Benson	Trousers: Nike Tracksuit bottoms, Grey Top: Zoo York, Black T-Shirt Shoes: Nike High tops Accs: New Era Cap, Scull handy Head Phones
Sam Carter	Trousers: Topman Carrot Bottom Skinny Chinos (Dark Green) Top: Topman character top/plain black hoody jacket Shoes: Adidas High Tops Accs: Wooly Hat, Blue, Studio headphones
Calvin Banks	Trousers: Topman Carrot Bottom Skinny Chinos (Dark Grey) Top: White T-shirt, Topman chequered shirt Shoes: Vans Authentic (Grey) Accs: Studio Headphones

We used this costume for Tom as the clothes he will be wearing with his accessories are the most stereotypical rap star clothes around what people can wear. He wears all the expected clothes as he is trying to make it so he does everything by the book. Sam however, he wears these clothes and accessories as he has already made it so he can wear more of what he likes and get away with it. It is still that style but more laid back. Calvin is wearing really casual clothes as he is a record producer and usually they wear what they like on a day to day basis so it’s not too smart, just casual.

Props:

Props

Studio Equipment

Alarm Clock

Mirror/Tooth brush/ sink

Front Door

We are using the alarm clock as when it goes off to wake Tom up at the start is will be a good way to start out soundtrack up while Tom is getting ready and going out. As I have already explained the studio is used to show how professional and high status in the music industry Sam is. The rest of the props will not normally be noticed in the film as much as they are pretty standard things like getting ready in the morning and leaving your house to go out. However as they are normal things to do with our editing and recording we will highlight that to show what a normal guy Tom is.
