Post 7: Additional Pre-Production Documentation

Location Recce:










Risk Assessment:











Shooting Schedule:















Mise-en-scene Description:
Set design/Location:
For our preliminary task we have set it in one of the offices in the school. We chose this particular office because it is quite small and looks a bit like a doctor’s office. The office has blue carpet and cream walls and there is a big enough gap between the door and the desk which we needed for one of our shots. There was a desk at the back of the room which was what we needed to create the feel of a doctor’s office. There were two windows a fire exit door behind the desk which gave us some natural lighting.
Lighting:
The two windows and fire exit door at the back of the room gave us some natural light. There was also some light coming through the door at the front of the office from the corridor outside. There was also some artificial lighting as there were three flat lights on each side of the ceiling. We used the artificial lighting when we were filming as the natural light wasn’t bright enough on that day.
Character Movement:
At the beginning of the filming, CHLOE enters the room and walks towards the desk and sits on the chair. MARC is already sitting behind the desk; he remains seated there throughout the film. At the end of the dialogue CHLOE gets up and walks towards the door and slams it shut behind her. It then cuts to the credits. We chose this sort of character movement as it is quite natural and realistic for a doctor’s conversation with a patient.
Props:
We had a desk with a computer and papers on it. There was two chairs, one either side of the desk, one for the doctor and one for the patient. We used this layout and these props as it helped create a realistic setting of a doctor’s office.
Costume:
MARC: - Black trousers, striped shirt with a tie and a dark cardigan. Black smart shoes.
CHLOE: - Fur coat, Peach top, Leggings and tanned boots.
We chose these costumes as they seemed quite realistic. As MARC was the doctor he needed to look smart and professional and because CHLOE was a patient she needed to look like a casual patient.
Hair and Make-Up:
MARC: hair, N/A and make-up N/A
CHLOE: Natural looking hair and make-up
We chose to have the hair and make up this way as we wanted to make it realistic. CHLOE was a normal patient on an average day so she needed to look natural and MARC was a professional doctor so no make up was needed.

Post 6: Shot List & Storyboard

 This is our storyboard:


This is our shot list.


Post 5: Jump cuts, Over-the-shoulder shots, Cutaways & Point of view shots

Jump Cuts:
It is when two consequtive shots are taken from different camera positions.This makes it look as if the person or object has 'jumped' to a different position which doesn't look right.

Over-The-Shoulder Shot:
This is a shot of a person or an object over the shoulder of another person, the back of the shoulder and head of this person is used in the shot.

Cutaway:
A cutaway shot is a shot of something other than the main subject. It could be a different part of the subject for example the shot could show the persons hands instead of their face.

Point of View Shot:
This shot shows what the subject is looking at. The camera acts as the person.

Post 4: Script Writing

This is our groups annotated script.
We have shown who thought up some of the part and why we chose certain phrases and words.












There could have been possible continuity issues with our script when filming. For example when Chloe enters the room and sits down, we would have to make sure that from each camera set up she sat down in the same position so that when we edit them together, they match.
