Additional Pre-Production Documentation

Location Recce: These pictures show, what locations we used for filming, and what we had to do, to get them the way we wanted.
 
Technical Recce:
In the room we filmed in, we had to add in a table and three chairs. Two of the chairs were used for filming; the other was used to gain height advantage of the room.
When filming in the hallway, we had to close some of the doors, to class rooms so that the noise from the rooms would not be picked up by the camera.
Risk Assessment:

If there was a fire there is one exit out of the room, at the bottom right of the room
There is a table in the room and somebody may bump into them causing themselves injury, to avoid this all of the crew need to be warned about the hazard.

When the radiators are on they could burn somebody if you touch them, to avoid this radiators need to be on the lowest setting possible. If the risk increases the radiators need to be switched off completely.

The chairs could be tripped over if they are not tucked away properly; all chairs need to be moved out of the way once they have been used.

Power supplies could be a risk if they are left on and touched. All power supplies need to be noted and all the back stage crew and actors need to have a wear of where they are.

We need a risk assessment so that we can see what risks there are during the filming and how we can avoid any injuries.
There is a rather large window in the room, if someone were to fall they could either fall through the window, causing injury due to the glass, or if the window was open, someone could fall out of it.
There may be a possible reflection hazard when shooting outside of the room, due to the glass on the door, which means that the lighting in the room will have to be controlled to make sure that the camera man is not seen in the reflection.

Jump Cuts, Over-the-Shoulder Shots, Cutaways and Point of View Shots

Jump Cuts: an immediate transition from one scene to another
Over shoulder shot: When the shot is taken from behind someones shoulder, ussualy at another person to catch their diolouge/ action
Cutaways:  In film, a cutaway is the interruption of a continuously filmed action by inserting a view of something else. It is usually, although not always, followed by a cutback to the first shot.
POV shots: When the camera is being shot from a
persons point of view, as if they are holding the camera.

script writing

At one point in our script we need athe OFFICER to place the file she is reading on the table, buty then cuts to CCTV footage, we need to make aure they are all in sync and in time

Continuity


the meaning of continuity

  • a detailed script used in making a film in order to avoid discontinuities from shot to shot


  • This makes filming easier and more accurate, so that the audience doesn't get confused if the character has moved. such as filming shot reverse shot, both takes from both side must be done the same to avoid any changes that the audience may notice.

    • The 180° rule is a basic guideline in film making that states that two characters (or other elements) in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. If the camera passes over the imaginary axis connecting the two subjects, it is called crossing the line. ...
      this is used because if the camera were to break this rule, the audience could be confused as to which side the character is standing.


    • Shot reverse shot (or shot/countershot) is a film technique wherein one character is shown looking at another character (often off-screen), and then the other character is shown looking "back" at the first character. ... this is used so that the audience can see each character speaking and acting

    either an action commenced in shot A is completed in shot B, or an action in shot A is mirrored by an action in shot B, for example when we cut from character A in location A reading a letter to character B in location B reading the same letter. this is create emphasis on the action or object rather than the character.
    these are my examples of shot reverse shot
    These are my illustrations for the 180 degree rule and shot reverse shot
