Pre Production Report:

As a group I felt that we are working very well together considering we have less numbers than other groups. We came to a quick decision to choose the genre drama as we felt it would be a genre we would pull of most succesfully and enjoy working with. With each task we did e.g the treatment, shot list, mise-en-scene and risk assesment we dished out to one another and worked on it so we would get it done quicker.

As a group we havent really encountered any problems but sometimes we have found ourselfs working far to qucikly and maybe soemtimes we have needed to pick up the pace in order to get tasked completed in time. Because of this we have soemtimes been uplaoded with a lot of work and been trialing behind.

We have encountered a few things we have had to change for example we had a few problems with the genre but in the end changed action to drama as we feel it would suit as better. Also we have had to change the date of our filming as we was not available to film on a certain day.

As a group the only thing that we have dissagreed with is the names of the charcters and plot of our film. This is because we felt it didnt go with the genre correctly but after a discussion we eventually came to an agreement. Evreything else we all agreed with.

Risk Assessment:

Mobile phone interrupting filming - Turn the phone off to avoid it going off and disrupting the filming. This will help to keep full focus on filming.

Stairs - Take care when on the stairs especially when carrying equipment. Also when filming on them, make sure equipment is positioned correctly.

Moving equipment - Take care when you are moving equipment to avoid injury and damage to yourself and the equipment.

Opening and closing doors - Take care when opening and closing doors making sure you don’t get your fingers caught.

Cooking - Make sure we don’t burn the food otherwise this will waste valuable time.

Slipping on kitchen floor - Don’t mess around and keep the kitchen floor clean.

Train noise - Make sure we film when there are no trains coming along the track. If there is we will have to re-film the clip.

Cars - Do not film during rush hour. This will ruin our clip if loads of cars come along the road.

People - While filming in the train tunnel we will have to make sure no stranger ruins our clip. To avoid this we will have to minimise the amount of shots we take and make sure we only have to take many retakes.

Rain - If it rains it would ruin our clip. We will avoid this by checking the weather forecast forehand before we film.

Location Reece:

For our short film we have decided to film in three separate locations. A garage in a farm, a house and a train tunnel. We have received confirmation that we are allowed to film in all three places well in advance so its not a hassle finding places to film.

We have decided the garage would be a good place to film our first scene as it is a dark area and it will add atmosphere and eeriness to our scene also there is a lot of space so we can have a lot of different camera shots.
