Shooting Script + Health & Safety

Storyboard + Feedback

Feedback:

 - Good timing on each shot. To improve, use more range of shot types and more detail

 - Good use of time (original). To improve, add more information on sound, camera movement and        dialogue

 - Good timing and use of imagery through the pictures; makes it more visual for the audience

 - Timings are perfect and good idea using shot numbers

 - I really like the overall storyline that is coming through, to improve you could aim to add even            more shot types for a variety

Character Profiling

Character profiling for two of the characters of our trailer. As I working alongside Alisha, we have split this task. I have completed the character profiling for Emma and Alisha has completed the profile for Maddie.

Deliberate mise en scene choices will be made to reflect the character of Maddie’s attributes. We will purposely make Maddie’s make-up quite eccentric to shadow her outgoing and loud character, her clothing will match this and make her character stand out- for example, we will dress her in a leopard fur jacket and Dr Martens to reflect her unique sense of style thus acting as a visual metaphor for her unique personality.

To reflect the qualities of the character Emma, the mise en scene choices will be completely different to Maddie to represent the reserved and shy character. We will intentionally use lighter colours on the character such as blue and white, reinforcing the simplicity of the character. Again, the make-up will be simple and limited to reflect the characters and attributes.

Overall, the qualities of both of the characters will complete opposites in order for both of the characters to stand out in their own ways. The use of clothing is extremely important, as this is what sets the characters apart, similar to the contrast in their personalities. Each character will have their own sense of style which is presented differently to the audience to reinforce the difference acting as contrasting images.

Undergraduate Feedback

As part of our research, we thought it would be helpful to receive feedback from two undergraduate students who have gone through the same process and course as us. This was an extremely beneficial talk as it gave the opportunity to pitch our initial film to two experienced students. This allowed the students to make corrections and give additional support on how to improve the initial ideas.

There were few concerns raised by the students which I responded to with solutions to fix the gaps and problems within the film pitch. Provided the situation we were in, the students were extremely empathetic as they, similarly had been in the same situation during their trailer production. Overall, this was a successful activity as the amount of information and improvements provided by the students will be taken into account in the near future.

Filming Permission

As Alisha and I have based out trailer around the theme of a church, we thought that it would be necessary to contact for permission. The trailer primarily focuses on two friends who regularly attend church and have a Christian background. As the church is local, it is easily accessible for the both of us to film at any time, sensitive to it's function.
