Thinking about a burglary!? PRE-PRODUCTION



PRE PRODUCTION DIARY


 6th October 2017












Yesterday, Our tutor, Nigel, introduced us the next project. It's going to be the first assignment for the course. The tutor talked about the theme, it will be about burglary that we have to locate in the college.

We'll include a montage and a continuity work in it.
After we know my team: Taqiyah, Bad, Saul, Marco and me, we were named 'group1'.
We started to think about the story board. Each of us gave own ideas but we chose the most interesting.




Recce
We went through the college to take pictures of the areas where we'll film. We took random photos of possible and definitely locations. Then we created our recce file with the final locations.


Risk assessment
This took us longer because we tried to reduce all the possible risks after analysed which of them we were taking. Taqiyah and me were on charge this time.


Scrip writing
In our script writing we decided that Marco will be the thief and Saul the victim. They will have a short dialogue in the park after all the action happens. Basically we typed all our story that we wanted to show.


Production Schedule
Bad and Marco worked with the files organization. They organized the time for each task to be completed on time, including all about pre, production and post production.



Storyboard
After decide Saul would be the one on charge to draw the storyboard he was working with all our ideas.
Once this was done, the shot list was the next. We discussed about what we could include in our sequences. It was quiet hard because all our different opinions and also we needed it to match with the storyboard.
When we agree about the types of shot we should use we finally decided the name of our project: Burglary Gone Bad.
 

We had done the pre production in the first week and expecting to be ready for the next step, filming days!

Montage Editing

MY REFLECTIVE LOG What skills have I developed? Using Adobe is still new for me but I already know how to use the basic tools in it. In terms of filming I learnt to focus properly the lense and find a correct angle.   What knowledge have I gained? I have few new terms on my mind. Editing terms that I learnt are really important to work as a team because it's the way to follow same steps when we are filming and after, when we need to edit our sequences. How did I work in my team? I share my own ideas, and I agreed with some of my team ideas trying to match all together. But I felt unwell so I couldn't finish filming with them. What do I need to improve? I have to improve my creativity skills. Did I improve from my last project? Yes I did, this time I was able to set up the camera.

'Filming Diary' PRODUCTION

PRODUCTION DIARY Starting in the classroom, first at all we had some issues setting up the camera. The micro was damaged and we though that it was the camera. We needed Nigel's support and this took longer...! Almost a half of morning wasted! When we fixed it we continued with the plan. Saul would be sitting on the desk working in his computer and this was the first scene, after saul went to the toilet and comes back and sees his phone gone missing by a thief that picked it up. The chase begins and saul started chasing him down all the way around the college to the pond across the road from the college. We did a lot of mistakes since everyone was trying to used the different equipment needing like 6 takes in the same scene. And also we didn't agree about how we should film and about angles. But we came back to our paperwork following what we decided at the very beginning. We asked our group to come next day with some clothes and so that it can ...
