Brain Storming

• Based on Hong Kong:• Action- Kong Fu• Drug• crime• Black society• power ( hierarchy )

• Hong Kong had been very successful with these genre of movies in above , where it had truly inspired me about my 2 minutes film. Hong Kong movies had been build up an image of violence in the film industry where it had created many world stars in Hong Kong ;such as Jackie Chan, Stephen Chan and Bruce Lee, which had helped the Hong Kong film industry builded up lots a positive image and let more people around the world to know more about Hong Kong movie and the Hong Kong culture. I hope that my 2 minutes film can also shows a side of the Hong Kong films.

Final Idea : Tai-chi

• As drugs have been more common and more people are taking drugs. Cocaine is the one most drug takers take. This story is between the black society of girls which sells cocaine to run their other businesses and the police.

Locations

1. Hong Kong – as my movie is based on Hong Kong so Hong Kong would be the best choice to choose from .2. London – if everything is out of plan,I think London should be a second choice to choose from .3. Cambridge- Shooting in Cambridge shouldn’t be the best choice as the location doesn’t fit my theme of my movie at all. Only if something goes wrong, Shooting in Cambridge is needed.

Locations -Hong Kong

• Causeway Bay is like a London in Hong Kong Island ,where you can find everything you want . Where Hong Kong movies had use Causeway Bay as one of their films like ”Love Cover 1″ which had use Causeway Bay for one of the senses where Daniel Wu is walking to a karaoke centre.

Locations- Hong Kong

Mong Kok is just like another Causeway bay, but there are more other variety of difference venues, like the food street and the woman street. Also many movies uses Mong Kok as one of their scenes, not only the main road but also small lanes as well to film drug trading.

Locations- Hong Kong

• You Ma Tei’s Fruit Market is a very popular to take drug dealing scenses because of the whole atmosphere and setting of the market.
