Pros and Cons of two ideas

The two are ideas are the weird mad science film (previously mentioned in the "initial idea" post, although I've started to get a better grip on the plot for it, and how to pull it off) and a possibly easier to pull off opening in the style of a light-hearted crime film (like the Tarantino inspired/rip-off "Go"), so here is a list of the pros and cons of both ideas to help me decide which to film.

Pros- Mad science film

• Can be shot in one room (mostly).
• Won't need as many actors.
• The idea is fairly original.
• The violence and gore will be done in such an outlandish and absurd way that it will (hopefully) not be able to be taken seriously.

Cons- Mad science film

• Will need to employ the use of special effects for a few sequences.
• Will need actors who are okay with the content of the script (the gore and the outright weirdness of it).
• Will need to acquire permission to use a room in the science department to film in, and permission to use various scientific instruments.
• Will need to use a large amount of lighting (to create the atmosphere needed), and I will need to find a way of tinting the lights.
• Will need to dress the set appropriately (this may take a bit of time).
• Will need to find specific props and costumes. 

Pros- 90s inspired crime film

• Won't need as many special effects.
• The costumes will be easier to find (i.e. normal clothes will be fine).
• Won't as intensive lighting.
• Can be filmed over a longer period (because of more locations).
• Less chance of continuity errors (in regard to set).
• Less time needed to dress the sets.

Cons- 90s inspired film

• May need a larger cast.
• Will need to film on numerous locations.
• The violence could be seen as being insensitive (using teenage actors to portray gangsters, when real-life gang violence is on the rise).
• By shooting on location, the scheduling could be hectic.
