Production Log: Starting our main task

Hey!
Todays an exciting day! We have finally moved on from the preliminary task and have began to start thinking about our main task. I'm so excited to further my skills and knowledge and become one step closer to being a media genius!! I made the decision that I don't want to work on my own for the main task, it would be beneficial for me to work as a group as my group and I, can share our strengths and weaknesses! Myself, Olivia, Georgia and Michael will work as a team. We are pretty certain we want to produce a film within the horror/thriller genre, some of my favourite horror films are Sinister, Insidious and finally, an old classic....Halloween!


I'll keep you updated on my research

Shot list preliminary task

Location Reece: Preliminary Task

Location Recce - Location 2 (the school bell)

Lighting and sound tests location 1

Lighting and sound tests for Location 1 (outside school). We tried various different locations within a small proximity around the outside of school area. We found that some locations worked better than others as in the more busy and loud areas it was difficult to hear people talking. As you can hear, there is some hustle and bustle in the back ground occasionally in the tests, however we will edit this out.


Sound and lighting test 1 location 1 -

Sound and lighting test 2 location 1 -

Sound and lighting test 3 location 1 -

Lighting and sound test location 2

This is our lighting and sound test for location 2 (the school bell), It is appropriate to use as the lighting make its clear to see and the sound is clear for the audience.

Preliminary task: Story Board

This is my groups story board. We designed the eight shots as a group, this is the basic plan of our preliminary task.

Treatment preliminary task

As a group we created a short film that would allow us to experiment and test different shots and movements. We decided to focus on a scene where the characters are in conflict but as an audience we are unaware of what caused the conflict.

Plot synopsis

Firstly, we see three girls walking towards each other on their way to school (two of which are against the other, for a reason which is unknown). The two girls stop and have a conversation about the events of the previous night, they then carry on walking. In a master shot, the three girls are all walking towards the same spot, when the singular girl receives a text from an unknown number. At the point in which the text is received, all of the girls are face to face at the corner of the road. The camera then zooms into the singular girl’s eye to show that there is conflict, the camera then zooms into the other girl’s eyes so that the audience know that the two girls are against the one. The bell then rings to indicate the start of the school day.
