Production

Production.

This project is our final of the course and thus, seen by me at least as the most important. To me, this project will wrap up and represent everything I have been working towards, as well as what we have been working towards as a crew the past 3 years. Myself, Esme, Ebony, and Harvey have been working together since the first project, and so this project means a lot to us as a group.
Due to the corona-virus outbreak, this project is going to go in a direction that we weren't initially prepared for. Obviously, because of social distancing, we won't be able to make the film we have been planning. However, I still need to be able to present work that has gone into this project from the perspective of the producer role, as well as how I've communicated that to my crew.

Goals

For this project, I want to have some clear goals to work towards, since the film can't be the main one. I've broken it down into sections as follows.
  • Extensive research into what producers do during production
  • Examples of producers with methodologies that inspire me
  • Examples of films and TV programmes that have been made in a way that I am inspired by
  • Compile how I would be working during production if I were to be making the film
  • Evidence paperwork and extensive planning into the project and how it will be made
  • Evidence of working with my crew

Project Plan

To make sure I fulfill everything I need to do for this project, especially with needing to execute the criteria in a way that is less physical and more in my written work, I want to follow a project plan to keep on track.


  1. Because I won't be able to present a film, I'll instead do another read of my script and ensure that it's completely the right professional format and ensure that it would be ready for production. To do this I'll also do a script analysis blog post.
  2. To support the script and the hypothetical shoot, I'll do the same for the pre-production paperwork and record any updates I make to the paperwork on my blog, and why I made the changes that I did.
  3. There isn't much I can evidence for the extract, but I do have footage from a behind-the-scenes film I started. It will probably end quite abruptly but I'll still give that to Harvey so that he has something to edit and we can evidence the work we did in the beginning with test shoots and meetings.
  4. We don't have photos of the cast to use for the production poster, however, I might see if Harvey is interested in doing something that's a bit more graphics-based. However, this doesn't really suit the style of the film and I think I'll need to put some more thought into it. There might be some photos of Herne Bay that I can use.
Alongside other relevant research, communication, and professional practice evidence, this will hopefully cover all of the bases for the project to fulfill the criteria.

Screenwriter: Jack Thorne

Jack Thorne. Jack Thorne is a screenwriter, known most notably for This is England  and Skins , but also stage plays such as Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and Let The Right One In . [1] His work tends to be dark or particularly stylistic. You can see a similarity between a lot of his works, in the way characters relationships are very realistic. He seems to know his characters like they are his friends and family, and write them in a way that makes them particularly relatable and believable to the viewer. In Skins, all of the characters have a friendship that is unique to them. None of them will share the same kind of connection. This can also be said for This is England . From what I've seen in This is England '86 , this sense of unique friendships continues. Every character is different to the last, and they seem to be known in so much detail that you could guess things about them that aren't even shown. He represents real people and real situations, albeit ...

Documentary: Presenters

Presenters. Presenter-led documentaries create a certain style that is easily engaging for the viewer. They have a sort of 'reference point' to focus on and that feeds them the information they need, while asking the questions they're wondering. As presenter of our group documentary, I want to know what's involved in being a presenter and why a presenter is used for some documentaries, but not others. The Role As a presenter, it's your job to, as you would expect, present the show. Using research that has been done in the pre-production the presenter is able to inform the viewer. They also interact with contributors asking questions, and essentially tell the story of the documentary. It's useful to have a presenter as it means we are likely to get more information from actuality if the presenter asks questions as it's happening. It also adds to the story as the presenter is usually on a journey to learn about the topic of the documentary- this is s...

This House Has People In It (S2S Research)

This House Has People In It. This video is one of my favourite short films by YouTube channel Adult Swim. The video consists of (fiction) surveillance footage from an American family home. The shots show different angles from throughout the house and the production is edited in a format that is much like a security camera scroll- it goes from camera to camera as the scene unfolds. The parents are talking in the kitchen with the daughter lying face down on the floor. Eventually the parents turn the conversation to the daughter on the floor and try to get her up. They believed she was throwing a tantrum but soon realise she's stuck. As the family get more and more panicked she begins to sink into the floor and chaos unfolds as the cameras continue to flick between one another showing the rest of the house. Adult Swim The YouTube channel Adult Swim joined YouTube on March 2nd, 2006. Channel stats from Social Blade . Since then, they have made 8,302 public videos and ga...
