Our group decided to choose the following assignment brief:
A short film in its entirety, lasting approximately five minute, which may be live action or animated or a combination of both, together with two of the three following options:
- A poster for the film;
- A radio trailer for the film;
- A film magazine review page featuring the film.
As a group we decided that choosing the option of creating a short film is the appropriate chose. This is due to our group finding this the most interesting as we had many initial ideas. During this week we decided what role each member of the group will be given. We considered our past experience and each member’s strengths and weaknesses before coming to a decision. As a group we decided Syed to be the director, Atul (me) to be the editor and be responsible for sound and Chris to be the cameraman. Working in a group for this production will enhance our communication and teamwork skills.
I created a Production Schedule which would give our group a clear indication of the tasks that need to be completed in order to complete our production to the highest standard. I considered all group members preferences and we discussed who would be the best person to take on specific tasks. The production schedule will also will have dates of when each task will need to be completed, this will help us to stay on track and use time more productively.
We created a group blog where we all our work will be presented. We decided to use a blog as all group members will be able to access it from school and home. We also created personal blogs which will be linked to our group blog. Our personal blogs will contain our ancillary tasks and our analysis of short films. We will be using Blogger to create our blogs.
I created a brainstorm for our short film production on bubbl.us. The brainstorm contains initial ideas of our group and clearly shows the factors we took into consideration before creating our production.
