Post 7: Additional Pre-production Documentation

                     

Location Reccee

The Location Reccee is where we took pictures of our location and it is a set of images that are put together to give an idea of what the location looks like. We have written about the lighting in the room and saying what changes could be made to make the room more practical and how we are going to make it look like what it is suposed to be, in our case it is set in a doctors surgery and we have said what we are going to do to change it.

Cast and Prop List

We have done a cast and prop list to show what props we are going to use while filming. We said that we will use things such as medical posters, a computer screen etc. All of these props will help to set the scene of the doctors surgery.

Risk Assesment

In the risk assesment we have identified the hazzards of the location. All of theproblems we found we had to find ways to sort them out to try and make the location safer for when we film. The hazzards could cause an injury while filming. We put all of these things into a table and said how we can improve and make the room safer.

Mise- en- scene

Mise- en- scene means all of the different elements that help work together to make a film.

·         Set Design/ Location

For our sequence our room will have a lot of room around it and will have the atmosphere of a doctors surgery. Along one side of the room it has a number of windows to make the room light; it has a dark carpet and one door.

·         Lighting

In our location it has a number of windows along the side of the room which provides a lot of natural light which makes the room light. There are also a number of strip lights on the ceiling which will also give more light.

·         Character Movement

The first shot is of one of the doctors sitting at the desk on the phone and the second shot shows one of the doctors entering the room and walking over to the desk and then sits down, it films the two doctors talking to each other using shot reverse shot and then the same doctors walks back out of the room.

·         Props

For our opening sequence we needed to use props that will make our room look like a doctors surgery, we used medical body posters to put on the walls instead of having nothing on them. We had a desk with a compter screen on it and a notepad on the table, also with a bottle of water by the side of it. We have used these posters to give the effect of the doctors surgery.

• Costume

For the opening sequence we have not made the two doctors look like typical doctors such as a white coat, we have them in casual/ smart clothes to make them look professional. We have not put them in the typical doctors outfit because we wanted to make the shot be interesting and for the audience to question who they were.

• Hair/ Make-up

The hair and make-up for the opening sequence will have a smart and professional look, the hair of both doctors will be done nicely and they will not have too much make-up on so they look like professional doctors and not too over the top

Post 5: Jump Cuts, Over-the-Shoulder Shots, Cutaways and Point of View Shots

Jump Cut
A jump cut is a cut in film editing in which two sequential shots of the same subject are taken from camera positions that vary only slightly. This type of edit causes the subject of the shots to appear to "jump" position in a discontinuous way.

Over-the-Shoulder Shots
An over the shoulder shot is a shot of someone or something taken over the shoulder of another person. The back of the shoulder and head of this person is used to frame the image of whatever (or whomever) the camera is pointing toward. This type of shot is very common when two characters are having a discussion and will usually follow an establishing shot which helps the audience place the characters in their setting.

Cutaways
A cutaway is the interruption of a continuously filmed action by inserting a view of something else. It is usually, although not always, followed by a cut back to the first shot, when the cutaway avoids a jump cut.

Point of View Shot
A point of view shot is a short film scene that shows what a character is looking at. It is usually established by being positioned between a shot of a character looking at something, and a shot showing the character's reaction.
