Throughout this entire assignment I worked on my script, treatment, call sheet, concept art etc. I research concept art as part of my primary research, and edited a still from the film to make it look like a promotion poster. For my script I only needed to create lines for the scenes where there is talking heads and for he scenes without dialogue, I added stage directions. 

During the first 2 weeks of this project I have been focusing on the context. In the first week I focused on completing the presentation for my pitch and the feedback. I pitched the main idea for my film, I then wrote a a feedback blog listing the things that i'm going to need to work on before starting my FMP. I also storyboarded my ideas on paper then scanned them in and annotated them, I prioritised my production plan so that I knew what I was doing each week, unfortunately I didn't manage to stick to it towards the end due to a equipment fault. I also made sure that I did the statement of intent in the first four weeks of my project so that I knew what path I was going down. I also talked about the three project ideas n a blog in the first week.   

As I was shooting the talking head scene, the microphone was plugged into the camera and the camera was on. It has recently come to my attention that my audio didn't record and the sound over all of the scenes was white noise. The on-cam mic that I used was called "RODE VideoMic Pro-R Microphone". Me and my assistant director (Lily James)couldn't pin point what had gone wrong.  We first: Looked through the audio settings on the camera Booked out exact copy of the microphone, recorded  another video and played it back. It turns out that the Mic that we booked out in the first place was  broken due to damage or breakage. We first knew that it had broke due to the fact that the "ON" button was missing even though when we plugged it in it was green.  What am I going to do about it? I will have to re-record my footage with the same actors. I was initially thinking about dubbing the audio, but I couldn't do that due to it looking slightly un...

I recently pitched my film idea. I got quite a few valid points of feedback:  Cast and Crew:  In my pitch, I mentioned that I would have four cast members. Three antagonists and one protagonist. At the time I had no idea who I wanted to cast, I knew that I wanted adult actors to play the parents of the teenager instead of people of the same age as me because I wanted it to have a realistic effect on the audience. I had a total of 4 people working behind the scenes of the film that helped with filming and script writing.  Documenting the process: Over the the past couple of months I have been Vlogging, researching and blogging about my experience with creating the film. Jo mentioned that this would really important, I did four sets of Primary and Secondary research. The research that helped me the mot out of the eight was the mockumentary research as I saw the kind of view points and camera angles that were included within mockumentaries such as "This Country" and "...
