Production Diary's for Film Opening

Production Diary 1

07/11/16
Today was the first day of being introduced to our groups and we was told to begin discussing between the groups to get a slight understanding of each others ideas. Renae, Travis and I were all placed in a group together and we was satisfied with each others thoughts and we helped expand each idea to make sure we could picture it too its fullest potential. We can up with a variety of film opening sequences and a few genres. Some of the genres we thought of was, Mystery (magic), Sport and Comedy. We tried to balance out the positives and negatives of each film opening and decided that realistically, the magic film and sport film would effectively be the best.

As Sophie was the only one present in her team on this day she followed through with making a presentation with the ideas discussed within the group. Sophie decided to list down all the categories needed to be within the presentation to suggest to the class. We then shared out our responsibilities and got ideas from each other whilst asking about our own categories to complete.

Within this day, as a group, we discussed our ideas further and came up with more ideas revolving around the content and locations for our film. We came to a result that we are more persuaded by the idea of the sport film as it will be more realistic to film and complete with our school being a sports college. Not only that factor, but also a variety of different shots and locations can be used to make it seem more interesting. We emailed the Olympic stadium office asking if it was possible to use the inside of the Olympic stadium to film the track and to film the stadium seats for a panning shot within the film. If the reply is negative then we thought about just filming a shot outside the Olympic stadium with Renae and Sophie walking towards the building. Another shot we could involve within this location is a panning shot of Renae and Sophie looking out onto the Olympic stadium.

Throughout this day, we needed to have finished our presentation to show our ideas as a whole to the rest of the class. As we presented our presentation to the class they made notes for feedback which we would then read and take on board to make our presentation the best it can be. We received vocal feedback in help for our title and explained our idea for the film further.

Today, we started planning our shots and our script. We also had a discussion with our teacher about what actors we need in our film opening. We are planning to have a two different p.e teachers from our school to be coaches for the two running girls in our film. We are thinking of having a more experienced coach for Renae as she is the 'rich' girl, and we are then thinking of having a less experienced coach for Sophie as she is the less fortunate girl. We have also started to plan the outfits that the girls will wear in the different scenes. In the running scenes Renae will have up to date running clothes and trainers, whereas Sophie will have run down and worn out clothes and trainers. This will show to the audience the difference in the two girls.
