planning

In my media coursework there was certain aspects we had to plan for doing half our filming and the other half the green screen (stop frame animation).

Equipment
The equipment we are using is going to be taken to Aaron’s house because he lives a lot closer to collage than me. However because collage being open on the day if didn’t have necessarily be taken however was sencerable we took it.
In using the digital video camera

We booked the equipment out on the 22 of October. This included tri-pod, camera and spare batteries.



Green screen
We will need a back of the colour card using, SLR camera this camera we will use my own personal camera because I feel more comfortable with it.
Other equipment
Lego and lighting which we will look out for the times needed when we get back from collage.

Location
In our work by using the narrative of our children’s drama we had set a lot of our work inside a school with the first couple of shots. We had to write a letter to nunnery Wood high school if we could use the premises to film.



In the response it clearly says we can’t use the current badge of the school or we can’t use the name of it. This therefore does have the complicates of not being to do the 360 pan shot, because the name of the school being outside the front.
Dealing with the problems

To get around these problems we used an old blazer which we borrowed of my partner (Aaron). This included the old badge from 4 years ago. This therefore solved the problem of the badge we than only had to get cover p the writing on the badge with a pen through it. To get round the problem with the use of using the front of the building and a couple of shots in our work.

Here are the minutes of the convocation of me and Aaron asking the jaintor at sixth form about if collage is open in the half term.
Zac: hello
Janitor: hello
What can I do for you?
Aaron: we are looking to film our media coursework in the holidays and I was just wondering if the collage was open and if any rooms were.
Janitor: collage will be open every day from 9-5. If you’re looking to get into any rooms ask one of the janitors around collage or reception where you want to go.
Zac: alright thank you

Different locations we are going to film at:









Actors
Because of the two different methods we were using we only need to use one actor as the main character in our work. Because of preferred target market being 6-11, we agreed to have a actor aged 11 so a younger audience could look up to them and see them as a role model and see what higher education actually seemed like for further years of their lives. We agreed to ask my Aarons younger brother (Jordon) if we could include him in our piece of work. Jordon is 11 and at his first year of Nunnery Wood high school. Because of the actor being fewer than 16 we had to write a letter to the parents of Jordon to ask for parental consent. We have agreed not to have any talking in the start and have a voice over of the whole piece of the work because it makes it easier for us to explain the change that’s happened to a new member of the audience watching the programme for the first time. We don’t think we need to include a voice of an 11 year old because we think we can use an older voice to make it sound more professional and clear.
