This week Syed created the first draft of our script on an online programmed called Celtx. As a group we read the script and critically analysed it thinking of ways to improve and make it more interesting for our target audience. We also got our actors to read through it and ask for their feedback. We also asked for feedback from our target audience and they suggested ways to make it funnier. After we have improved and was happy with the script, Syed created a second draft of the script.
I created location, cast, and costume and prop notes on a Microsoft Word document and then uploaded it on Scribd, which allowed me to embed the document on Blogger. The location notes I created clearly showed the various locations we are going to use throughout our short film and why we chose these specific locations. The cast notes clearly showed the actors and actress we are going to use and the reason we chose this specific cast. The costume notes showed the reasoning behind the costumes the cast are wearing. Finally I created prop notes which stated all the props we were going to use in our production and the significance of them.
Syed created a shooting script which is used during the production process of our short film to help communicate the filming process to all crew members and actors involved. The following factors make up a shooting script for the production portion of a short film project. Syed also created a letter for the head teacher stating what our group are aiming to do and asking for permission to use specific locations out of school hours.
