Preliminary Task- Research

Our film would be put in the mystery genre, so we looked into Sherlock to get some ideas. Such as when he is on his phone instead of the camera showing the phone, the text comes up at the side so the audience can see what is being done, because at the beginning of your clip that is what happens we decided to do the same with our actor Steph and put the text in when we was editting.

Preliminary Task - Filming

The filming process went really well when it came to filming. But when filming there was some problems such as;

• one of the tripods was broken
• cleaners 
• teachers

   The biggest problem was the noise in the background, because of this we decided to do most of the scene in the room where we could shut the door to drown out the sound. Then we filmed the scene outside the classrooms once the cleaners had finished which helped us get the effect of it being in a school during school time.

    Me and Luke was both happy with the filming and done it in less time than we thought, which was a bonus. 

When it came to filming we changed our roles that we thought we would do, Luke was the camera man and i was the director this worked out really well as we was both hands on with everything we did and making sure the actor knew what they was doing and what each of us was doing to get all the filming done in time and to the quality that we wanted.

Preliminary Task - Camera Skills

“What are the benefits of using a tripod and shooting multi-camera?”
The benefits for using a tripod is that it makes the camera more steady, this is useful because it makes the camera shots better when the camera is still. Also when moving the camera when it is on a tripod the movement is more still and makes it more affective. Also if people dont use a tripod and they want to make the shot still, it makes the camera make look like he isnt very good at using the camera.

The benefits for shooting multi-camera is that it is easier to film as it makes filming quicker when using to camera as you can set up for the next shoot and move straight on to it after. Also you can get the same shot from different angles so there for it can make it more affective when editting it together you hvae different angles for one shot. Also using more than one camera you save time not moving one camera around so there is a another ope ready for you to use, after the shot you have just filmed.

The 180 degree rule is sopmething that should be used when filming, some times this is broken when making big films but should always be used and never broken in a premliminary task like which we are  doing now.

Preliminary Task - Team work

My team is me and Luke Ayres, we have spilt what has been need to do in half so we both put in an equal amount of work.
We have both done the script together and we are both directiors and producers.
I am the camera man in the production, and also i have done the shot list and story board.
Luke is the edittor for the post-production and he has done the production schedule and the risk assesment.
We have been late in our filming due to illness on mt behalf so this has made it harder for us to be able to edit as it gives us less time on the post-production beside this i believe we have worked well together as a team, we have talked through it all and have been putting both our ideas together and making sure the other one is happy with what we are doing.

Preliminary-Recce

Location 1: G4 (Geography Block)

This is our main choice for location to film, we have asked for permission from Mr Sedgwick and he has granted it.

Location 2 – L4 (Languages block)

This is our second choice location, it is not as ideal as the first one, but it is our current back up room to film.

Preliminary Task- Our Idea

We have been asked to do:
For our preliminary task, we have been asked to make a short clip of two people having a conversation. The clip has to be one minute long and can be about anything,and to try and make it as interesting and possible. Also we have to make a A3 poster for our short clip using adobe photo shop. After these tasks are done we have to evaluate our work by doing a pod cast, the pod cast will be a set of questions for ourself and others to answer.

For this task I am working with Luke Ayres.
Our roles are:
Luke Ayres- Editing
Charley Perkins - Camera
We have both decided to do the directing and producing together.

The deadlines for the preliminary task are:
Pre Production - 8th November - November 18th
Production Window - 19th November - 26th November
Post Production - 27th November - 12th December
Presentation Day - 15th December

I hope to be able to improve on my camera skills during this task also learning to roles of being a director and producer. I also want to develop on coming up with good ideas for the short clip in a short amount of time and perfecting it to how me and Luke want it.

Recce Checklist

Recce is short for a 'reconoitre'. This means going to the location and seeing if its the place you would want to film, there can more than one recce. When going to a recce there are some things you need to consider, below is a check list of all the things you need to think about.


A permit
If there is any parking
Sounds around the area
Neighbours
Restrooms
Any indoor sounds
If you need places that have electric's
Health and safety
Food and drink
The ground service
Weather on the filming day 
If you only have a certain time slot
Space


One of the most important parts of a recce is taking lots of pictures,so the director and producer can chose what one they prefer, they can then go back and look at the pictures if they are visiting more than one place. Also taking lots of pictures with help them decide what shots they want use and who they would have to take for that shot.

Director - Production Role

A Director is someone that directs and guides the cast and the technical crew. They also control the artistic and dramatic effects of the film. Directors are responsible for overseeing the creative aspects of the film, ether under or above the film producer. The Director often has a vision of the film and it is carried out, untill that film is how they want it to be. Directors are also responsible for turning the script into a series of shots to create the film. They are also often involved in hiring key crew members; also they tell the actors what they have to act and how they want it done. Directors work closely with a lot of the cast and crew members. They often use story boards to illustrate how they want each shot to look, as it is easier to set up the camera angles. Directors also play a key part in the post production, as they work with the editor to ensure that the emotions of the actors are seen thought the shots, though out the film. Sometimes the director has an input on the sound mix and musical composition depending on how they would like the film to be and what moods they would want to create.

The Chase Task.

Working with me in my team was; Lauren Cooper, Caitlyn Whittaker and Bethany Wilson. When we was first given the  chase task we all decided which roles that we wanted, as myself, Lauren and Caitlyn took media studies at GCSE, we thought it would be useful for us to have the roles that we thought everyone would be suitable for and we made sure everyone was happy with what they had to do. We all worked well together and there wasn't any disagreements, if one person had an idea we took it into account and if everyone agreed it would of been put in place.

My role in the team was actor 2 and the editor, as Lauren was the director she believed it would be best for me to do the editing as i had the most experience in it. Everything that was edited was checked over with her and if she didn't like it or thought it needed adjusting it would  be changed to what she liked better. As Lauren was the director she made sure that everything went smoothly  and everyone knew what they was doing and when they was doing it. Caitlyn was the camera man, so she would tell Lauren when the shot was ready and if it was okay or needed re-doing. Beth was the actor 1 in the team therefore was the person most seen on camera, also she made the power point with Caitlyn that was presented to the class.
