oganisation

After the researching into and deciding our genre's and conducting textual analysis it was time to begin organising how we would create our film. There were five main areas in which we needed to plan:

• storyboard






• actors






• locations






• costumes






• props

These areas had to be carefully planned and organised as if we were not prepared the film would fall apart. first the creation of the story board. Me and my project partner Steve Widger, started throwing ideas around on how we would bring on how we would bring our research and plans to life on a storyboard. For some parts the creating involved lots of trial and error, with different shots being added and others being taken away as both our minds spilled our ideas onto paper. There was no issue of ideas clashing and disagreement as instead we combined different ideas to improve on our personal ones. After many discussions and planning of ideas we came up with a story board that we both agreed suited the vision of what we wanted this film to be. These ideas that we had constructed on paper now had to take life and we had to be begin using our organisation skills to accomplish this.











The first thing we needed to was decide on the actors for the film. There were three main roles to fill, which were the characters of Matt Fox, Emma and the assassin. The first role assigned was Matt Fox and we concluded that Steve would best suit this role, this was an easy straightforward decision. However the other two characters went through a few changes as originally the role of the assassin was going to be given to another actor. Although i was determined to have an acting part in my film and the fact of reliability so the decision was changed and i was given the role. The character of Emma was the most difficult to fill as many girls didn't like the thought of being in a film. We then both decided Steve would find a girl for the part as we had already cycled through several candidates for the role, and he seemed to have an unlimited supply of girls names to list for the part. After much confusion Steve gave the idea of having his girlfriend who was coincidentally named Emma to take the role, i considered the implications of having a girlfriend involved, (as it would be disastrous if there was some sort of issue between them when we only have half the filming done)however we were running out of time so we agreed she would take the role. After we had shot these scenes we decided that the choice of actor and setting were not what we had wanted so we decided it would be best to hand the role to another actor and change the location of the scene. Following the selection of the actors we had to use the vision of the story and bring it to life. There were four main locations to find and conduct risk assessment. These locations were

• The inside of a bedroom
  






• The inside of a house (staircase and door)







• The outside area of a house (driveway)







• A wood with a small stream

Luckily we had all these locations close to us. so close in fact that we barely shot any footage away from either mine or Steve's house. The shots had to be planned carefully as some sections were filmed in different areas but had to look like they were the same area which became slightly confusing and meant we had to look for any sign that would give away this. Steve suggested that we use his house for the scenes within the house and i suggested we used the wood and stream directly outside my house for the scene in the woods. However there were problems with these ideas. As the scenes were shot in different places you could tell that these shots would match, so to make the shots blend together we used the inside of steves house but the outside shots were of my house along with the stream shot. After looking carefully at these shits we decided that it would be best if we used one location instead of blending the shots.
After all the shot locations were decided we had to make sure that they were safe for the actors and equipment. So to do this we had to complete a risk assesment. We decided that sum of the locations were low risk but there were sum high risk areas. These are the pictures of the shots:

After analysing these shots there were some areas witch had a reasonably high risk however these were shots that were very important to the film. so we agreed that we would have to take extra procations on the shots we may cause risk to people and equipment.
