Today we have gone up to the Editing Suite to check out the weapons that they have for our terrorists. We found the ones underneath. However, Mike happened to be there and told us that they were not really the right ones for us to use. These ones are a model that is too associated with Western culture, while the AK-47, which they have in the Theatre Department, is perfect and more widely extended. It would be more convincing for our Siberians to have it because it is free of specific implications. Furthermore, Mike mantains that it looks more professional and its materials are of better quality. The model which we decided to avoid is shown underneath.
Mike argued that the AK-47 are more common to see and convey a much more convincing aesthetic, which looks much more real than the other guns. There is only one in the Theatre Department apparently, but the truth is that it could work for us because we only need to show the gun that the extremist who kills the protagonist is carrying, thanks to our decision of a low camera angle.
Myles emailed Elisabeth to get further information from the Theatre crew and see if it would be fine for them to lend us the model that we would need. However, she told us to email Al, as he's the one in charge of those issues.
Al replied pretty soon positively so we are good in this aspect. We will probably get hold of the AK-47 and a pistol just in case we want to show something else on the frame.
