Discussion when Pitching Thriller Filming Idea

When we conveyed to the media teachers our idea of having the actors carry in boxes to the container, there was discussion about the use of boxes because we were told there would realistically be a lot more boxes with full contents in a warehouse. We weren't sure we would be able to find enough 'criminal' props to fill the boxes but we talked about possibly filling them with other things at the bottom and having the guns and drugs showing through the top.
We also discussed the warehouse and decided that it would be unrealistic to try and find a warehouse to shoot our thriller in because we would need one that was available, close enough to the school to save time and energy and we would also have to set it up and get hundreds of boxes to really set the scene. We found out that we could use the containers outside our school. They are smaller which incidentally makes for a better setting for criminals.

We were originally going to have a freeze frame of Ted with a narration on top. However, our teachers didn't think it necessary to have it because they thought the tricking of the police could be the essence of the film. They also suggested that rather than use a white van for the criminals, use a Range Rover because it is easier to obtain since one of the teachers owns one and it gives the criminals a little more character.
