PLANNING: production company choice and justification

Image
  I chose Netflix because it's what my target audience mainly use to watch/stream films these days as opposed to cinema screen,  I also chose Netflix because my film is a 2 part documentary series and could satisfy my viewers immediately as my younger audience could lose interest after waiting. I also left the first part of on cliff hanger where the enigma would leave my audience at the edge of their seats leaving them ready and excited for the next part where by then, hopefully, the streaming numbers would be up from the increased hype. Netflix also has a strong history of sports documentaries, as evidenced by my research and so I felt there was a home for my 'British' take on the sport.

Planning : Costumes

Image
1. My initial selection of jerseys was this one, which was simple and black and white with a VTRN logo buttoned collar.  2. I decided to utilise this, my second concept for an actor's costume, which is a basketball jersey. It is an actual NBA jersey, and it also lacks the sleeves that are typical of basketball jerseys.   shorts and socks -  This has already been decided upon and selected below. I went with the all-white option because it matched the player's aesthetic that I was aiming for. I considered going with black shorts, but they didn't really go with the two options, so I went with the white.
