Pre-production Diary

Monday, 19/03/2018- In a meeting, we went over the script and discussed any potential changes that may need to be implemented to the ending In order to make it more satisfying for the viewer. We also talked about potential filming locations and dates that we can work around.

We have an audition session on Wednesday planned which we will use to determine who of the actors is chosen to play a particular role in the short film.


 Tuesday, 20/03/2018- We focused on pre-production paperwork such as character breakdown sheets and planning timeslots for when each actor can audition on Wednesday, each actor will have a ten minute audition and they will last for an hour and 30 minutes all together.

Wednesday, 21/03/2018- We auditioned and recorded multiple actors to assess on their abilities and we now have a casting sheet as well as availability information regarding the actors. The location recces and shot lists are coming together but we still need more information regarding the room we are planning to use for a hospital room.

 Thursday, 22/03/2018 - Release forms for each actor have been printed and are ready to distribute between them. Plans for the production are coming together rapidly but we need to have a group talk about what we have and haven't currently done, we also need to discuss scheduling between the actors so we don't mix with the other groups scheduling. I have finished the prop list for our production and I'm feeling confident about this.

 Monday, 27/03/2018- I believe the production schedule is currently finished and risk assessments are pretty much complete, however I need to have an idea of what the College room we are using looks like in order to write up the risk assessment for that location.  The shot lists are almost finished.
Tuesday, 28/03/2018- We had another meeting to discuss anything we may have missed and we have found no problems with out work, the pre-production file is full and we are ready to begin production!

Task 2- Understanding the structure and job roles in a media sector

Structure of media sector: There are multiple media sectors including film, TV, Animation, Games, Advertising and more, each sector is compiled of many different elements, for example the film sector comprises of the individual jobs like Cinematography, production, pre-production, distribution etc. Each sector is an important part of bringing a particular media project together as each job keeps the ball rolling and if someone starts to not work up to par then it could throw a spanner in the works and slow down or stop production completely. advertising is a role that expands to every media sector in order to gain attraction towards a production although each sector's advertising strategies can vary, some may advertise films through trailers on TV and online because these are where most people will see them, advertising also expands to the physical world too as posters are placed on bus stops and billboards are made to advertise. Public service media (PSM) is broadcasting fi...

Task 2- scriptwriting

-
1 - Issues.  "Issues" was written to be a fictional sob story short film about a homeless person trying to show his overwhelming kindness while also taking that was formatted correctly with size 12 and "courier" font, however the script was never completed therefore the film was never made. The overall language and dialogue used was intended to make the reader feel sympathetic towards the man. I have not used any brackets in my script therefore I have not included elements of a shooting script (The shooting script is written by the director) however I did use quotation marks which unnecessary in a master script. I have not used any slug lines in this script which is a major detail which is left out and makes it harder for the reader to picture the setting. Most of the script is actions over dialogue because I wanted the film to be visually based around the man and his emotions. 2 -Reflections. "Reflections" was written to be a psychological thriller a...
