Pre Production

Today in Pre-Production we looked at different scenarios about health and safety, and was given many examples of what is acceptable.

We then filled out a risk assessment form, to find out what we needed to do in order to make our Viral Advert safe and legal, the two main things we have to worry about are high speed traffic, because we will be filming close to a public road, the second thing is the weather, as we live in England the weather is always horrible, so we have to prepare for the worst.
Other things include, watching out for pedestrians and unsafe obstacles.

Pre Production

Wednesday 21st November 2007

Today in Pre-Production we identified all the equipment needed for the production of our Viral advert, this included a camara, tripod, video editing studio ect. then we found out how much all this equipment would cost to rent. I decided to only rent the equipment for 1 day to keep the price low and because we dont need that much time to make the advert. I added up all the prices and found the total, then printed off my results.

Pre Production

Wednesday 14th November.

Today in Pre-Production we learned to use a PD150, we took our camera's and went around collage recording, the task was to record our self walking, we recorded several different sequences. From our experience with these cameras i learned allot of different types of shots including; long shot, close up, mid range shots and full body shots, i also learned how to set up and operate the PD150 as well as the tripod.

Our sequence consisted of the two of us doing a action like video, we did this to spice up the boring idea of recording a simple walk. We tried to be as creative as possible with our few ideas.

In the end it looked pretty stupid, but was allot of fun, unfortunately since we had no one to control the camera, it was alittle out of the frame, but it we get a chance we will rerecord this.

Pre Production

Wednesday Nov 7th:

Today we discussed different age certificates e.g. U, PG, 12, 15, 18 etc, we then had to find out which was best suited for our Viral advert. so we used the Internet to research, and find out which suited our advert best, we found out that 12 would best fit our needs.

Our add will not have allot of violence but may have some of sort, it will not have hardly any gore but may be slightly graphic, that's the reason's for choosing the age 12 certificate.
