The Synopsis
It's Friday night at the Bluestone room and we have four players at the table.
The espionage game has never been so closely knit, well that is in Melbourne, Australia anyway.
Multiculturalism is thriving, and so are the cultural diversity's of it killers.
Spy's, assassins, contractors and enforcers from all over the country ritualistically take part in back room poker games as relaxation.
Ironically they play against each other, but for these adrenaline driven, line crossing murderers, its high stakes all the way or bust.
With such a combination of beauty, stealth, charm and cunning this games going to prove to be full on,
just the way they like it.
The Research
We came up with an original story based around the cultural differences in assassins.
For instance our use of cultural specific weapons.
Using movies and tutorials, we were able to choreograph the techniques that will be used during the flashback sequences in the film.
Each crew member has found separate inspirations relating to their responsibilities in the production.
We looked at tips on editing, pointers on shooting with a DSLR, organizing pre-production paperwork, mood lighting, eye lines, and special effects make-up.
Each member intends to enhance their previous skill-set with the research and practice involved in this production.
