Task 6: Storyboard (Updated)

Task 9: Filming: Detailed Risk Assessment

Hazard: Risk	To whom:	Uncontrolled Risk Severity x Likelihood  = Risk Rating			Control Risk By:	Residual Risk: Severity x Likelihood  = Risk Rating			Further Action Recommended:
		Severity	Likelihood	Risk Rating		Severity	Likelihood	Risk Rating
Tripping	Actors and production team	1	3	M Medium	Ensure that all actors and members of the production team are wearing suitable footwear when filming. Also tape down any loose wires along the floor and keep the legs of the tripods clear from pathways, to eradicate main tripping hazards. Clear main filming areas of furniture and objects that aren’t required for filming purposes.	1	2	L Low	Venues and areas used for filming will remain well lit through the duration of the process. Actors and production members should also be alerted   of potential hazards created by the equipment on the site.
Cuts and other minor injuries	Actors and production team	2	1	M Medium	Inspect all equipment for sharp edges and broken or rough surfaces before use. Then check the surrounding areas for sharp objects that could present danger before commencing filming.	1	1	L Low	Ensure a first aid kit and someone trained in first aid is present during filming and/ or easily accessible.
Food related injuries E.g. burns, scolds, choking and allergic reactions.	Actors and production team.	3	2	H High	Have a qualified first aider and a phone to contact emergency services present at all times during filming. Any food and/ or drink consumed will be provided by reliable sources and will be accurately labelled for allergens.	2	1	M Medium	Make sure that all members of the filming process are given a break long enough to give them the time needed to safely consume any refreshments if needed.
Fire and electric shocks.	Actors, the production team and members of the public.	5	1	H High	Check all electrical equipment for any faults of damage that could result in an electrical fire of electric shock. Also locate nearby fire extinguishers and sources of water. Do not handle any electrical equipment if they come into contact with water, unless they have a secure watertight casing.	3	1	M Medium	Make sure that the fire evacuation procedure for the areas of filming   are identified and recognised by everyone involved in the process of filming. Keep any substantial amounts of water away from electrical equipment during filming.
Antisocial behaviour from participant in filming or members of the public.	Actors, members of the production team and members of the public.	3	4	H High	Brief all individuals involved in the process of filming to clarify that any antisocial behaviour and time wasting will be unacceptable, as time allocated to filming will be limited.	2	1	L Low	Attempt to film all scenes set outside at times of the day when fewer members of the public will be present. When filming inside of a building, choose a quiet space, removed from other members of the public.

Task 9: Filming: Production Schedule (Second Updated Version)

Production Schedule
Date, time and location of filming.	13/01/2017 10:00 am – 11:00 pm Office/ empty classroom in Landau Forte Academy Tamworth Sixth Form
Actors	Andrew Coultard Costume= Business suit or casual business wear Reece Humphreys Costume= Business suit or casual business wear
Filming Plan	shot reverse shot match on action 180 degree rule eye-line match over the shoulder shot close up shot of case file/ picture
Equiptment	Digital camera Video camera Traditional tripod Gorrilapod
Props	Office stationary Chairs Table or desk Case file Image of female character (played by Lauren Cannon) Picture to go on the wall of the office.
Risk Assessment	Risk: Tripping. Probability: Medium. Prevention: Wear sensible footwear when filming and clear the filming area from furniture and objects that aren't required for filming purposes.
	Risk: Being cut on sharp edges. Probability: Low. Prevention: Inspect equipment for sharp edges before handling and ensure that none of the props are damaged so that they pose a danger to the actors handling them.
	Risk: Electric shock. Probability: Low. Prevention: Keep electrical equipment dry and do not handle directly if they come into contact with water, unless they have a secure watertight casing.
	Risk: The disturbance of filming by bystanders and members of the public Probability: High Prevention: Ensure that filming occurs when the building is relatively empty e.g. when few students are on a break in the corridors surrounding the site of filming.

Opening Sequence Progress Update 12/01/2017

Filming and editing had been postponed to allow for myself and my actors to revise and prepare for the mock exams or "Pre-Public Examinations".

In this time, I have further evaluated on the script I created for the new scene in my film's opening sequence. I have concluded that the script I had originally written for the scene of the police investigators discussing the new case was too long in length and contained too much dialogue for the first five minutes of the film. To compensate for this, I have reduced the number of actors required from three to two, and by cutting out one of the characters and re-wording the script, I believe that the script is of a suitable length for the footage to be combined with my existing project, whilst remaining under the time limit of five minutes.

The updated production schedule, script and storyboard for use during filming tomorrow will be shortly uploaded. After filming, I intend to begin and hopefully finish the second edit of my AS media production. Once this is completed, the second edit of the opening sequence of my film "Sub-rosa" will be uploaded to YouTube and then uploaded in a blog post.

Once this is done, I can turn my attention to re-writing the evaluation script for my AS media coursework.

Film Opening Sequence Progress Update

I postponed filming for the additional scene I plan to insert into my existing footage, as I had some second thoughts in relation to the script. As the distribution of speaking roles is currently very uneven across the characters, I have been in the process of re-drafting the script.

The actors I had originally recruited and assigned to roles are also extremely busy with work for their A-level subjects. I have had to keep this in mind when attempting to re-arrange a date for filming, which has further postponed my creative process.

As all of my pervous actors are similar in ethnicity and age, I have also be re-evaluating my casting choices, and am currently considering urecruiting an older male actor in order to add diversity to the roles of the police investigators.

Research and Bibliography for Task 5: Script / Screenplay

Research into Screenplay and Script Structure:

"At the beginning of a script, you’ve got about ten minutes to accomplish three very fundamental things for the reader: (1) illustrate in detail who your protagonist is - he or she should be interesting, flawed, and if not likeable, at least empathetic, (2) establish the world of the story and the character’s status quo, and (3) set up the dramatic situation - that is, make it clear what the story going to be about."
