Pre-Production Paperwork-Miss B

Pre-Producion Paperwork

In our group we have created 5 piece of  pre-production paper work which is made up of location release, location reecce, risk assessment, client release form and camera shot list. Each of these documents are important as it shows that our group have permission for example shooting a scene on a street, if someone asks what are we doing or if we are aloud we would give them the location reecce form. This is important as if you don't have the documents we are not able to film and also avoid problems as we could get complaints from people. I will be explaining each of these paperwork and why they are important. 

Location Reecce 

 As a group we have decided where to locate our scene. So it is important that everyone in our production should have these documents as it includes all the information including the location and other reasons for the location. This is an example of my group Location Reecce 

Location Release Form 

]This is where the legal document is to be shown to the people who question our production. This includes the information about having permission to film at the area we want to film at and also it include that the group have agreed to the terms and conditions so that the community of that area will know that we are aware of what we should and should not do. This is our Location Reecce Form 

Risk assessment 

The risk assessment is also a legal document that explains that our group is aware of the risks that might happen. Everyone in our production should have this as it will warn them about their health and safety and how they will deal with that issue. This is the Risk assessment that our group did

Production skills

This should be given to everyone in my group as it helps them understand what is expected from them when making the film for example in this document it includes the days we are filming, how long it will take etc.. This is a straight forward document which means there wont be anyone in my group ot knowing what they are doing since it all says in he document. This is the document that my group had made

Client Release Forms

This is to be handed out the actors  has this document is to thank them that they joined my production group and to also give them a guide about what my group and i expect from them such as learning the script or coming early to get their hair, make-up and costume done. Also the actors will have to agree on my production terms before filming. 

Planning- Shot List-Miss B

Camera Shot List 

The Camera shot list included the size, angles a movements during our filming, This is an example of my groups shot list as it helps when we are making the film that when the the camera operator  and storyboard manager knew that they are following the angle/size and movements. This basically makes the whole filming easier as they just have to follow the order. 

Prelimirary task-Mr.Smith

Preliminary task

The purpose of preliminary task?

The purpose of the preliminary task is that we learn how to use and understand the camera and how it operates. As we operate the camera  we learn and experiment with the equipment's and test how the equipment's are suppose to be used and how it could be properly done. Also this is to ensure the safety. When testing the equipment's you will know what to use or what parts are important as for when we make the film.  As we test the equipment's we have to look at certain aspects of the main parts such s dangerous voltages. This is important as it is a test before making the film as you will know how it operates and what the camera is suppose to do.

The Plot

We was told by our teacher that the preliminary filming should be 30 seconds long. As  a group we have decided that the plot we would film would be two young teenagers who are in school talking at the backstairs. The young male talks about if the young female is she has any planes and she says she doesn't, then the young male asks if she wants to go to the cinema and she says yes. As they walk down the stairs before that he asks that he will pick her up at 7 O'clock. They then go they're own separate ways.

group roles

In our group we each have different role of this preliminary task.

Fatma: she was the camera operator as she knows how to use the camera and understood what the shots and movements was to be done in the film. Also she was also the director because she wanted to direct me and Mohidin to make sure we know what we are doing.

Mohidin: he was a young male who was asking out another young female.

Me: I was an actresses who was asked out by a you male.

Lara: was the producer of the preliminary task as she is good with group work and can operate with Fatma.

Difficulties you encounter when film/editing?

 The difficulties my group have encountered is that we didn't know how to operate the camera and also didn't know how to do the equipment's properly. Also another thing we found difficult encountering is that we needed to find the right area as we wanted a quiet place to film. When Editing it was difficult as it was our first time editing and as we wanted to look professional but it was hard to know what to do as we was experimenting with the equipment. There was some parts of the scene where it looked unrealistic for example the shots didn't make sense as it moved to one place to another which didn't look professional and also there was a lot of echoing when the characters was talking, We tried to get rid of the echoing but it didn't work. The lighting was difficult because we couldn't edit it as we couldn't see the characters face properly. 

What have you learned? 

When doing the preliminary task i have learnt how to use the equipment as for next time my group  and i wont be struggling when making the thriller film. I have learnt how to operate the camera and how to connect the camera to the tri-pod. This is what we was struggling with when doing the preliminary task and the results from that made the filming look unprofessional.  Overall my group now know how to use the equipment which helps when we use the cameras when film making the thriller opening scene. Without the preliminary task we wouldn't of had experimented the equipment which was useful for us as it makes our film opening scene more successful, 

Conclusion

I thought that the preliminary task was very beneficial as it helped me gain knowledge of how to use the equipment correctly and also helped me improve my people skills as i helped it a lot when Fatma (camera operator) was struggling.
