Mood Board

This mood board is presenting the photographs taken in secific locations. Some photographs were taken in the same place, such as when taking still shots of the trees and bits of scenery in heston park, similar shots can be used for cranford park. This will be benefical as it would take less time to complete the task.
The photographs were taken by me as I supplied the 7.1 Olympus digital camera. Although the shots were taken in the dark, the flash did prove useful as it gave us a more of a distinct shot, creating a more enigmatic photo.
Overall, this mood board is a rough indication of what scenes that should be included when filming.

Props

Props are essential to any promotional video, in order to obtain a strong sense of realism and expressing the signs of verisimilitude towards the audience. Different props represent specific characteristics and will symbolise certain individuals in a unique way shown to the viewers. For example, when filming at 'Heston graveyard', a black cloak and gloves were required for the villain's character. From these props, show clear representations of a that particular figure is the killer, which is enhanced from the colour of the props being black. This colour connotes a series of death and emphasises the darkness in the film, as well as causing an enigma to form, from the black cloak not fully revealing the villain's profile.

Some props were not mentioned, such as fire and a knife. This is because when using these props when shooting, these elements were very hard to see as the dark was too strong. The fire also became a problem, as it was difficult to form with small twigs. Health and safety issues were acknowledged but the fire was not created due to the poor conditions of the weather.

Production Schedule

The Production Schedule is a document which contains the task and when we will complete it. This is a significant document, looking at the location, the equipment and crew members that were required in order to complete the scene.

Staff List

The staff crew list shows the contacts of different memeberes of the group. This is very useful and will be acknowledged to contact the group and come togerher to act certain tasks, such as flming. This contact list will one again improve the team moral and provide us with experience of co-operating in a team, thus having experience working in the media field.

Filming Schedule

These seven film schedule documents consist of useful information consisting of speicfic requirements, such as the props, equipemnt and the crew memebers. This will inform us what we need when shoting a certain scene. Although the equipment is relatively the same, namely the camera and a tripod, these types of media material will allow us to convey a particular emotion. For example, a hand held shot type will create realism and and making it seem the audience is actually there in the scene, thus increasing the interest of the film.

Treatment

This manuscript shows great relevance, as it entails information on what the trailer will be about. However, other documents will show this but in a more specific aspect, the teatment document tells us what memeberes of the crew and cast will be doing what roles. Although, the document clearly states names allocated to different jobs, we all assisted eachother to improve the standard of our work. On a personal note, I too contributed to most roles, especially producing the trailer.

Risk Assessment

A risk assessment is vitally important and comes in great use. This is because at each different location arises the same or some new risks, which should be carefully thought out to find a solution to the problem.
A risk assessment is a significant document as it reflects to a real life shooting of a film. From further research, when shooting a film, the crew, mainly the producer has to create a risk assessment outlining all the possible risks when filming, otherwise filming cannot commence.
Although this was ultimately a process of filling out the boxes, i felt this was a great learning curve. The reason for this is because when coming to actually shooting the film trailer, producing a risk assessment crates a more professional vibe and involves other group members for a more appealing experience.
