RUSHES LOG/OFFLINE EDIT NOTES: 

We went ahead and followed the storyboard whilst putting in all of our footage for the rushes log just so we know what format to follow before going ahead and editing the short film. Assesing our rushes log, we believe that the following needs to be changed/edited:

• Parts on clips need to be trimmed/ cut out as laughing is heard and "Go" can be heard before filming. 
• Some parts need to cropped and zoomed in as you can have a hard time seeing some scenes. 
• Scenes need to be made darker to make a scary and unsettling atmosphere. 
• Extra scenes could be added to make it more impactful. (Ex. A clip of the Lockdown being announced so the audience gets an idea of where it's set in)
• Scenes need to be trimmed down.
• Background noise that are distracting need to be removed on audio.

Evidence ISSUES AND RISKS (REGULATORY GUIDELINES)

ISSUES AND RISKS (REGULATORY GUIDELINES)

 I believe that our short film would receive a '12' certificate from the BBFC. Quoted from the BBFC: "There may be moderate physical and psychological threat and horror sequences. Although some scenes may be disturbing, the overall tone should not be. Horror sequences should not be frequent or sustained." and  "There may be moderate physical and psychological threat and horror sequences. Although some scenes may be disturbing, the overall tone should not be. Horror sequences should not be frequent or sustained."

In our short movie, elements of horror is feature but however the violence only happens off-screen and is only to implied to have happened and is not seen. The violence is only heard and only happens for a few moments until the scene progresses moving on from what happened. 

Our short film also may contain flashing imagery and loud noises so anyone 12 or under should be be accompanied by an adult whilst watching our short film as some scenes could possibly be distressing. 

We will be using music and sound effects from the internet so that we can speed up the production of our short film. However, if we use copyrighted assets without permission or without a license we could possibly be sued; to avoid this, we are going to use royalty and copyright free materials that are okay for the general public to use. 

An ethical issue that we could face in the production/making of our short film is setting Unrealistic and Conflicting goals. Setting an unrealistic goal for our short film can put pressure on ourselves and the short film production could fall apart or not be completed to the best of our abilities; to solve this, we should take time whilst working on our short film and work together so it can be completed efficiently and to the best of our abilities.

Photo Evidence -Using Microphone

Using Microphone 

Some parts of audio had to be redone and needed to be louder for our short film, so we did some voice-overs when needed. We also planned on adding narration onto the short film when necessary for the short film. We wanted to make all of the audio sound loud and clear for the short film, so where we believe we needed any extra bits of audio we re-recorded it when necessary.  

Photo Evidence- Lighting

As our Short Film is going to be a horror movie, we want to attempt to have dark lighting and shadows throughout the short film. For our first scene in the park, we went ahead and checked places where we can record our first scene where it looks dark and shadowy to attempt to make the viewers feel uneases and unsettled whilst watching. 

 

Photo Evidence using storyboard

We brought the storyboard on location on set so we can get an idea of what: shot types, mise-en-scene, ambience, lighting, etc. we need for each scene. Our storyboard was the general plan for the short film and it would be hard to create if we did not have a good plan of what we wanted. 

Photo Evidence- Using Risk Assesment

Before going out to film our locations, we did a Risk Assessment and made sure that everything was safe before going ahead and recording. We had to ensure these checks in the area to make sure everything was safe and no-one could be possibly harmed whilst recording our short film or be in any sort of danger.

For example, when we carrying our equipment (as referred to in our risk assessment form) we made sure that we were not carrying too much at the same time or they were not too heavy. If these objects were to drop or fall they would hurt of injure us or anyone walking by on the scene. 

When we were in the school gallery, we made sure to tuck any wires away so that we would not trip whilst filming in there or any potential object that could cause harm (as we stated that we could possibly fall over or trip.) We also ensured not to bring any food or drink into there as we said that a spillage could happen on one of the equipments and damage it. 

 

Photo Evidence- Using Location Recce

To find suitable locations for the short film, we had done a location Recce to find the best possible locations to film in to suit the overall atmosphere/theme of the short film. For example, one of the locations we had chosen was an alleyway as they are usually portrayed/seen as: threatning,mysterious places; we want our short film to have a mysterious ambience, so we went ahead and assessed the area.

Operating Camera Evidence 

We went out to film in various different locations, we chose to film in an alleyway in one of our locations as they are often described as 'dark, scary and mysterious', we believed that this location would be perfect for our short film as we want to capture a mysterious atmosphere. 

Blog Reflection Week 5

  This week, we managed to get the following completed:

• Cast Release Forms
• Issues and Risks

We got each and every actor participating in the production of the short film to sign a legal agreement. It transfers us the rights to use any performance that was made in conjunction with our short film.

We also assessed what certificate our short film would get and if it met the guidelines for that certificate. We concluded that it would get a '12'

Cast Release Forms

 

Blog Reflection Week 4

  This week, we were able to get the following completed:

• Production Schedule
• Call Sheets
• Recce
• Risk Assessment

We created the production schedule to ensure that the video production goes smoothly. We broke down the: scenes, actors, day breaks, etc.

We created call sheets to follow up to the productions schedule, and provide a daily plan for us and the cast. It's given for a shooting day with: who is there, when it will take place and where.

We completed a location Recce to find the most suitable locations for our short film so it looks right for the story and be accessible and within budget. 

We made a risk assessment to identify what hazards currently exist or may appear in the locations that we film it. The risk
