After going out to film all the scenes which we at first thought we needed, we realised that 2 shots are still required to make our film A-grade compatible;
-An extreme close-up of Ben Kimble's eyes
-A bird on a tilted shot to add effect.
No re-shoots were needed.
Choosing the film name
This had been a massive debate ever since we first began filming. We had many ideas for our film name, such as "Street Capital", "Burnout", "The Silence of the Slaughter", "Criminal Spectrum" "purveyors" and "A solemn blood". All these ideas have one thing in common; they are all directed (metaphorically or not) at the lives of drug dealers.
We decided that we wanted to give it an element that it was part of society, yet can be seen as perhaps in isolation and cut off from the comfortable world that most of the audience live in today, much alike a street. This is where the idea of "Street" or "Lane" came from. We were also keen on emphasising the point that this is an illegal, rough part of the world,but yet a man can get ahead in life from it, so we played on words such as "criminal" and "Purveyors" but then eventually decided that the type of people are not the centre of the film; it is in fact what gets sold and what everyone basically lives off; drugs.
Capital in the thesaurus can also be linked to many other words such as "dominant", "vital", "prime" and "controlling", 4 words which perfectly explain the role of drugs in our environment.
Putting two and two together, we realised that Capital Lane was the best for our film, and so we continued with the filming...
