Treatment




Here is the newest copy of our treatment, however this was when we had two male characters as the lead. These have changed now to two female characters 'Stacie and Frankie'. We decided on changing these characters because of one main reason being the lack of male students we were allowed to film, because not many male students are in the media studies department. For this reason we had to change this to two female students. After changing these two characters we realised how this would help us 'Challenge' the normal codes and conventions of a typical comedy genre. We thought this would be a disadvantage, but it turned out to be an advantage. Hoping to get a positve feedback from our target audience.

Photo Storyboard











Our photo Storyboard is just a real life photo version of our storyboard.
Again it will be used for our director to interact with our cast.
This made our commuication between all of the members on set very well.
It was also a still version of how we wanted our film to look, this made it easier for our director to show our cast how he wanted them to act.

Storyboard









Above is the storyboard for all of our film.
This was the drawing version, this is what we will always refer back to when we film, showing the angles we want to film at, and the positions we want our cast to stand.. etc..
This was a usful tool for our director to have, so he could refer to and from the storyboard when talking to the actors.

Pitch



Above is our pitch. We presented this to our fellow classmates. This was so they could have an idea as to what our story is about, and what we want to achieve from making this film.
Showing this to our classmates will allow us to gain vital feedback from the classmates on how we could improve our idea or film.
Throughout our pitch we involved the audience by making them play the lottery game, this got them active and made them smile and feel more enthesistic about our film.

Shooting Schedule



Here is the shooting schedule created by Josh our director. Here was his plan that he wanted us to follow. This was so that on the day we had clear structure to follow. This again would improve our time management, and also enabled us to plan on when we needed the cast. This was so that they can plan their lives and other subjects around acting for us.

Props List



We created our props list to hand to all of a team members. This was so we all knew what to bring on production day, and we arranged what person was bringing what.
This improved our time management skills, because it saved us from rushing around last minute deciding on what we needed to bring!

Location Reece



Having a location reece sheet allows us to plan all of our locations we wanted to film at, likewise we would look at downsides of the locations, and all the risk assessments of these locations. This will help us choosing our final locations on which ones hold the less risks.
