For our initial discussion of a prop to plan, we made brief notes on paper, rather than bullet pointing the conversation on my tablet like the costume planning.

In order to decide on a suitable location for our opening scene, we discussed where we could film and where would be mos appropriate. As Alistair is first featured waking up after his dream sequence, we would need a home environment. No one in the group had a bedroom in their house that could belong to the single male detective Alistair is. To work around his, we thought we could use a living room instead, Alistair could awake on a sofa surrounded by work relating to the murders by his other persona. This in turn would explain the vivid dream beforehand as it would be relevant in his mind as he falls asleep. For the living room in question, we could either use Ewan's or Emily's. I personal think Emily's would be better as it was described as fairly dark, small and cluttered, which would fit a gloomy young single man. Ewan's living room I do not think would fit as the furniture is bright and the room it's self is quite large, not befitting the desired atmosphere.

The next scene we would have to consider is the police station Alistair works. We are doubtful that the local police station would be able to spare the time or even allow us to record. However, we are still trying, we ave sent a formal email requesting permission to record there.

In the meantime, we are considering what alternate location we could use and what we would need to convert it into the station we require. One such location is the Oasis Community Center in town, this could fulfill the professional atmosphere but would still need permission. However, as this is not a busy public service building, we are more likely to be granted permission. If all else fails, we could settle for simple filming the scene at school, which would also supply the professional atmosphere and we know for definite we are allowed to film there.

Our group decided to discuss costume designs for the characters that would be appearing in our opening scene. This would include our main character, Alistair Murkland, including his mask and a nameless murder victim. Several points were made and aspects discussed. In regard to research we mostly used images from our mood board we previously made to gain an idea of detectives and masks. I recorded our discussion, in text format, which we later criticized until we had our costume finalized.
