Piont 25 Risk Assement

Risk Assesment



What could go wrong???

We will have to make sure we have definite permission to shoot up in Bruce, otherwise we could be kicked out without getting the footage we wanted, not to forget that we would get in BIG trouble!

When working with heights (eg:high angle shot) must be careful.

Check the surfaces is not slippy
or in any way hazardous to prevent this----->




Make sure the weather conditions are safe to be in when shooting outdoors.

Piont 24 Location Shots

Some Location Shots!















These are some of the locations that you will see in our opening scene. We are shooting in and around the school, as it is very accessible to us, and we do not need to seek further permission. However we are planning to do some filming in Bruce House, which will requir Catriona and I to get permission to do so.

Point 21 Music

Music!



At the moment we are planning on using the a song called Fantastical that we found on Freeplay Music from Rock Grooves Volume 8 however, I think it may be possible that we change the song on a later date if we find one more suited to our film.
I like this one because it starts quite basic but builds up to something interesting, which supports the theme of our film perfectly.

Point 20 and Piont 22

Instead of drawning our storyboard, we felt it would be more affective with pictures. so on the day we are shooting we are going to take photos before each shot then print and present nicely. Due to this these Pionts will Not hit the deadline because shooting takes place after the deadline.

Piont 19: Investigation of Narrative Theories

Narrative Theories
After doing research on narrative theories, this is what i found.
A brief outline of the 4 main narrative theorists; Propp, Todorov, Barthes and Levi-Strauss.
Narrative Theory


I think our film will be a modern combination of all of these narrative theorists showing aspects of each

Point 17: Key Elements

17. Define the key elements you must include in your opening to conform to the expectations of the genre you have chosen, the audience you have chosen and what is expected of a film opening. Make a check list.

• The Name of the film must appear at the beginning of the opening titles

• The writer has to be mentioned.


• The Production Company’s name is to be mentioned.


• The Lead Actors Names

• It should hint at the theme/ Genere of the film.

Point 16: Institutions that might produce, distribute and exhibit our film

Paper Street Films Production company.
Has Produced films such as 'Detached' which is similair genre and theme
Paramount Pictures has prodcued, distributed and exhibit films such as Mean girls. With a large budget this could be useful in creating our film, the only negetive effect is that pararmount pictures is an american production company. Here at Filmhouse Productions we feel strongly about creating a film set in britain with a british sense of humour running through it.
Channel 4 Television Corporation Although this is a Television Company I feel Channel 4 would embrace the contraversionl nature of this film and also the Bristish essence.

Point 15: categorieing the audiences

ART HOUSE
This is focused for more up market and older people.

15 PLUS
Our film we are creating is focusing to attract the 15% of the population aged between 15-24. 39% of the cinema is populated by this age braket in this categorie. There is a farily evenly mixed gender but our film is slighty leaning towards the female population. The cinema aduidense has a hugher percent of upper class people this may be because the cinema can be expensive. Our film will be marketing in this aduience categorie because are viewer will be Young and Upmarket.
