Risk Assessment

Risk Assessment
Slip, Fall, Break
: When we use our slush puppies being thrown at our victim, thereis a likely risk that one of our crew members may slip and fall, and there is apossibility that they may hurt themselves by landing on their arm, for example. Toavoid this we will try to film this scene outside and ensure that we clear up allspillages that we may make.
Damage, Destroy, Burn
: It is highly unlikely that we will damage, destroy or burn anyof the schools property. However, accidents do happen and we will be aware andextra carful of things that are fragile and easily broken, for example windows.
Slip, Fall, Break
: When filming our fight scenes there is a high risk that the actorsmay actually get hurt. Obviously they are not professionally trained for this type ofthing and could therefore slip and punch the other. We will try to avoid this by takingextra care when filming these scenes and having a strict choreography for theactors to follow.
Shock, Die, Ambulance
: It is extremely unlikely that we will come across anythinglike this. The only serious risk comes from the movie lights. These lights get veryhot, which creates a risk of burns. They can be dangerous if one doesn’t take carewith the plugs and wires, this presents a moderate risk of shock.
Lose, Break, Misplace
: Of all the categories this is the one that is most likely tooccur. There is a high risk that we will lose, break or misplace something. It is veryeasy to knock the camera off the tripod and fall and break, we will make sure thatwhen using the tripod the camera is securely attached and this will decrease therisk of it falling. However, we still need to take extra care around the camera toensure that it is kept in the same condition as when we first get it.
Lose, Break, Misplace
: We have to be careful with the camera to make sure that itdoesn’t get wet, if it begins to rain we need to take precautions to ensure that thecamera is not damaged. On days that we a re planning to film outside we will checkthe weather forecast to see if there is any rain expected, if there is then we will haveto reschedule the filming to a day when it is supposed to stay dry.Ideally, we would like to get a shot from the victims point of view as the slush isbeing thrown at him, but we’ve had to rethink this as the risk is that the camerawould get wet and therefore its likely to get damaged.

Our Inspiration

Evaluation

Evaluation Our idea We thought of our idea quite quickly, we were given the name ‘the package’ and straight away our group cam e up with many different ideas. We decided on doing a package on a train and it potentially being a bomb but the audience don’t see this directly so it leaves it up to them to decide what it was. We filmed it on the southern eastern service train to Victoria then back to Orpington. The plot of our clip was that a scary look male character was seen with a package getting on a train looking suspicious and he sits next to a innocent, attractive female character who also has the same package, as she leaves the train in a rush the packages get switched and she ends up leaving with his package. He notices as she is leaving the train and running along the platform, however it’s to late and the train has already left the station, in his panic he opens the package and realises it’s not the right one. This leaves suspense for the audience Filming the idea We hadn’t thought how hard it was going to be to film, we thought maybe we were going to film in on a tube. Then as we thought harder about it we realised that it may be quite hard as tubes are normally fairly busy and also didn’t want to draw attention to filming a bomb scene as some tourists may of got confused and scared. So we decided to stick to a train as they are less busy and we could film it in a more private environment. We felt the need to film a lot of footage so then later we could edit the bits we didn’t need as we felt it would benefit us from having too much footage than not enough. We knew that the clip had to consist of many different camera shots and angles we tried to demonstrate as many as we could and that we were able to include. For example shot reverse shot was almost impossible to film as there was so dialogue in our clip so we soon realised that we couldn’t do some but we tried to do as many as we could. Throughout our filming we were understood that some shots wouldn’t work with each other and it had to flow as much as possible. Editing the idea As soon as we started editing we came across problems in the shots we did, we had made a clip list which made things a lot easier as we knew what each shot was and it had its own number. However when we were putting clips together it soon became addressed that we were using shots that had not been filmed in order and some of the parts didn’t fit in with each other. We were also aware that when we wanted to include some shots the train was travelling in a different direction and this became a problem because it made the shots inconsistent. Also background of where the train was situated was an issue as again it wasn’t filmed in order therefore the station we were currently at didn’t match the one before. Also in certain scenes ‘Anna’ the female character has gloves on and we had to make sure that she didn’t have the gloves on before and made sure she had them on after so it matched. We also came across the fact that if we had longer, the clip would be more accurate and flow more but we had to consider that the time frame we did have had to include everything we needed. What went well? We worked well as a group and all had a part to play if it wasn’t filming then it was adding ideas and input to make it as good as it could possibly be. We all contributed in the filming part as some of us in the group could see things that others cant and we cooperated enough to get our views across and maybe suggest constructive criticism to improve the footage. The fact that we numbered each shot made it easier to locate them as we knew which ones were what other wise it could of got confusing and muddled up. Even better if? If we were to redo the filing and editing again I think different factors would come into it as we have now experienced it once and knew what went wrong and maybe what we could imp rives next time. I think we would try and make it as constant as possible to make it flow more. As much for a first time we tried our best but we have never experienced filming before and went into a bit fast, next time we would maybe plan ahead more and create a more detailed story board that had different camera shot and angles in so we knew exactly what we were doing when we got there.

We decided to rate our film a 12, we decided this as a group as we thought some of the actors and actresses are wearing costumes that may be offensive to some viewers and it may include some adult humour, so we thought 12 will be the most appropriate.

this is the main idea of our title sequence. in these steps on our story board the actions per sector may change a little because we are unsure of what we actually want to do during our story, also we might not get consent to portray some of our initial ideas.

as designing and making clothes is my speciality, our group decided that i should design and prepare the costumes, so i did. these were my designs. each characters costume related to their name such as underwoman wore underwear on top of her clothes, golden boy has golden tights, etc.

this is our mood board, it shows all aspects of inspiration to do with our title sequence ideas. the bright colours represent the 'fun and youthful' aspect of our media. it shows previous superheroes, this influenced the different outfits/poses we were going to use in our film. we then found a photo of formated elvive bottles we used this in our mood board because this is the formation in which we wanted our superheroes to stand which is represented during the beginning of our film.

25 Word Pitch

The big, but not biggest, day finally came. we had to film our preliminary task, we went on down to Bromley south station as our preliminary task was based on trains as a mysterious confusion (as you can see from our story board). However, when we got there we were told that we had the chance of getting arrested for filming at a station :O. But as the rebels we are we went ahead and did it jumping at every 'man in uniforms' we saw. Then after bottling it we asked for permission again getting it confirmed. Phewwww. so once we were started we filmed an array of different angles and shots until happy that we had the whole footage for our preliminary task.

we are setting out film at school, the reason of this is because its targeted at teenagers that are currently in 'highschool', we chose this audience because we can r elate to them (as their our age) so we will know what the 'usual' teen likes.

08/02/2012

The requirements of our title sequence/opening:
Task: plan and create a title sequence/ film opening. it should be no longer than two minutes.

07/02/2012

the setting of our film is based in a school, it could be compared with american high school dramas. things such as 'Kick Ass', 'Scott Pilgrim' and 'Mean Girls'.

As a group made up of Me (Rio), Hannah and Millie, once decideing our 'bike' idea wasnt going to work, we came to the conclusion of sticking with the superhero idea and our chosen genre is Comedy.

02/02/2012

today i looked i helped Hannah design for the 25 word pitch so it can go with our theme, i came up with the title as SuperGood vs. Superbad

25/01/2012

During today i had negative thoughts for the idea of our main title sequence. originally we wanted to make our title sequence quirky, using a vintage bike and with it we was going to potray the journey of a young girls life by doing so, showing the different weathers and says and emotions that teenage girls go through. After watching the quality of the previous title sequences i believed that in no way, shape, form or size would we pull this off. so i came up with another idea that i pitched to my group and they seemed to like it. it would be a teenage comedy and there would be a group of kids who thought they were super hero's and it would basically be a piss take. now i just have to plan this....Fingers crossed

23/01/2012

Today in lesson we looked at other A-level title sequences to see what we had to achieve in the long run. We watched these on youtube by searching G32, this helped us clarify our ideas and hope that we do better than the previous ones. (We thought they were quite poor). it made our group realize that this project is not easy. this is where the panicking begins.
