Today we have met as a group for the first time in three weeks. We are going to be refining the details about our opening title sequence, for example, location, camera shot details and sequence name.
We had a detailed discussion about the name of our sequence. We came up with these:
- The Heist - simplistic
- Clover - the idea that the heist group are very lucky - links to a four leafed clover as there are four heist members
- Stung - the heist group stings the country every time they perform a heist - leaving a mark on the country
We also discussed our location and how we would make the background realistic and how to make it so the audience know where it is based. We had two ideas for the location for inside the bank:
- The film studio - the film studio is good as it gives us plenty of space for our close-up and extreme close-up shots however we were debating how easy it would be to get a background that looked realistic for representing the inside of a vault or bank.
- The school pavilion - the pavilion has even more space than the film studio and has grey concrete walls and floor with several concrete beams. We thought this may be good as it looks like a very secure and protected area.
Finally, we spent the rest of the lesson finishing off the script and stage directions for the news reporter.

Reporter: In other news, another report of a break in has been reported leading to the question - are the grand heists back in business? The heist was reported at 3:30 pm today where the first call was made to the local police department by one of the heist members. Officer Timpson gave us this statement -

Reporter: "I was unable to identify the gender of the caller. However, they informed me that multiple hostages were being held within the bank itself and this crew member negotiated with me that the terms of release for these hostages must result in the crew members walking freely, ensuring to us that no harm came to the hostages. We continue to monitor the wellbeing of the hostages during this time".

Reporter: As we receive more information, we will ensure to keep the public figure updated. Police have also advised locals to remain inside until further notice to ensure their safety. The families of the hostages have been informed about the incident and reassured that the heist crew have guaranteed the safety of the hostages
- Continuation of Script -
Reporter: This has now been recorded as their 5th heist of this year alone. In previous events there has been no casualties, as promised by the members within the crew. Therefore, the local police department have stated that they have high hopes for this inconvenience to end well and in a safe manner. This notorious group have remained an issue for the territorial police force for a prolonged period of time, with the first of their heists being recorded 4 years ago.
We now have breaking news coming in live from the scene of the crime, where it appears that the hostages are making their way out of the bank. there seems to be no sign of the crew themselves but members of the families of the hostages are grateful for the safe return of the hostages previously located within the bank as the crew continue working from the inside

Reporter: The exact current location of the crew within the bank remains unknown, whether or not the crew members are still inside is in question. We will keep our viewers updated as soon as new information is made available by the officers on the scene.
