Location Reece



Requirements of lighting- When filming at school I need natural lighting, unless if it gets dark I will use the artificial main lighting. When shooting at Bedford prison, I need natural lighting that is cloudy and grey to match the cold dingy location.
Clearance for shooting- Before filming in the school canteen, I will speak to the staff that work there asking if I can film in there? what 2 days if possible I am allowed?, if it is possible for them to keep the canteen open for an hour after school a couple of days in my shooting week? and what days the canteen will be free from all staff?
Before filming at Bedford prison, I will ask the staff if I am allowed to film there.
I do not need any power as the equipment I am using does not need power available.

The problems I may face is if I am not allowed to film at Bedford prison because that is the most local and convenient prison I am near. Although I can research other prisons reasonably close to me that allow filming. Also, another problem I may face is if it gets to dark while filming at either of my locations as it will prolong filming schedule, the cast may not be available other times and I will have to ask further permission for more time to film at my locations. I will resolve this problem by preparing in advance, I will ask the cast beforehand what times and days they are free and if they can do overtime in case the shooting goes over scheduled time. Furthermore, in advance I will ask both of my location whether I can film there multiple times for an unlimited or limited amount of time in case filming goes over. With the school staff, I will ask if they may be able to book the canteen out prolonging the closing time for additional hours or days.

The equipment I am using is a camera, tripod and I may use a microphone; these will all be equipped by school and I will be bringing the camera outside the school premises to shoot the prison shots. Beforehand, I will ask how to use all my equipment in case when I am filming I come across a difficulty in the equipment so, I will know how to work it out efficiently.

  1. Very detailed Tillie. It may be worth scanning your sheet in which you can do in reprographics at the front of school. Try to also add more visual elements. Take some videos/ short videos of your locations to add alongside here.

Evaluation: Newspaper Advertisement

Evaluation: conventions Background I chose my background to be of prison bars because it clearly indicates to the audience the ideas, themes and genre my documentary is going to be focused around. I think the black and white effect connotes the dark realities of prison and how harsh and shocking the crime system is reflecting the themes presented in my documentary. In addition, I admire how well the background blends with the rest of the advertisement as it contrasts with the bold red title, ITV logo and my main image. Photo I decided to use a extreme close up shot of the prisoner's face from a clip of the documentary because it is zoomed in and focused on the prisoner's intense expression, which draws in the target audience. I increased colour contrast and changed the filter to a black and white effect, which looks effective because as it blends in with the background and imposes fear onto the reader.   Chose of layout I decided to place the m...

my pitch

http://prezi.com/nd0bqsoecfak/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy&rc=ex0share Feedback : What's its purpose?  The purpose of my pitch is to develop my outlined idea further of my documentary, it enables me to think of any additional details, equipment or elements that I should add to improve my documentary. By talking to my class it could allow me to identify and distinguish my target audiences by age, gender and interests. What you did? I went through my project in depth talking about my outlined idea, what the documentary is going to be like, examples that inspired me, information from recces sheet and location scouting sheet, logistics, problems I may encounter, target audiences, institutions, what will happen in the extract and marketing.  How it went?   I think it went well because I got positive feedback and questions that made me think how I am going to structure and plan my documentary which is important. I think I should have includ...
