Locations

Basic Idea For Film
  • The basic idea for our short film, is an interrogation scene between a high profile mafia (Theo Payn) and a victim (Oscar Ironside). The pair exchange a few lines about where something is. When the victim tells the Mafia that he doesn't know where said thing is, the Mafia order his two bodyguards (Zach Parratt and Nick. Farrow) to take the victim away. 

Conventions
  • Lighting - was a big convention that we used, we had two lights that we set up for the film. One was used for a silhouette shot, and the other was used for the interrogation scene and we put a red fade on the light to add a dangerous theme. 
  • Camera Shots - We used a lot of close ups and wide shots to add suspense and set the scene very well. When doing a silhouette shot we had to make sure that we didn't show any other part of the set, because we were using a very small space. If we showed any area that we were going to used in a later scene it would give away that we were using a small space.
  • Audio - we didn't use a lot of audio in this film, mainly due to not having lots of dialogue. We will be adding lots of the audio in post. E.g footsteps, door opening etc.
  • Mis En Scene -  In our Film we used a workshop to set a scene that had a warehouse/stockroom feel. This worked very well and we were able to make the room feel very dangerous.

    There is a lot missing here.
    - brainstorm
    - basic idea for your film
    - photos and visuals for location scouts you did/ mood board for location types you wanted to find and use
    - Conventions you intended on using (lighting styles/ music/ sound effects/ tension building and suspense building techniques etc.)
    - lighting plan you did in class
    - planning for continuity principles

    Unfortunately you really just cut and pasted a couple of lists but there is no evidence of planning for a film shoot. I know you planned it because I was there but we need evidence, explanation of evidence and analysis of your plan.

    Please fix this ASAP!

  2. Hi Addison

    Overall Score: 8/20

    It's great you had a go at adding a few things. Unfortunately the planning demonstrated here is still very limited.

    In terms of presentation, explanation, depth and demonstrating an understanding of what planning needs to take place to shoot a film, your work still isn't providing enough evidence.

    I know that developing time management skills it's going to help you get the quality of work you're capable of, in in time.

    I'm looking forward to seeing your planning for PT 2 with these points in mind.
