Rebecca Barrett - TV Production blog

This shot list is only for the few basic shots I plan to use, if any more complex/more shots are used then I will update this list as I go on. The storyboard will be added underneath as the week goes on.

For my project, I am planning to film the ending of my script - this is because it is the easier to film out of the script as it only requires my two actresses and one room - rather than outside the house and inside. For the cast, I have chosen my mum and her friend as they are both more than willing to film for this project. For my crew it is only me at the moment, but I will be asking my other friends if they are free for the shooting day once it's chosen.

These are print screens for my risk assessment, due to some location changes, some of these may change, but will be updated ASAP.

On Thursday, our class went to Dungeness for a day location project. For our pre-production phase on Monday, we went into groups of three (I was with Alyssa and Katie) and were instructed to write a 2/3 page script which we could film at Dungeness (Thursday) and then edit today (Friday) for screening on Monday in front of the class. After looking up Dungeness on Google Maps for location inspiration, we found two key areas we wanted to use.  The abandoned shed (left) and the beach front (right). These two areas gave us the inspiration for our script, which was about two friends who has returned to the beach where their friend had died. The beach front represents where the friend died and the shed represents where they used to hang out as a trio. Myself and Alyssa chose to be the two character on-screen, while Katie was our narrator and third character in the occasional shot. As there is no dialogue in our script (instead we have a voice-over from the narrator), we relied on

In our last theory lessons before the half-term, we learned about drama shows and how to judge the quality of a TV Show. Plot = The story Narrative - How the story is told Quality indicators: Budget lavishness Skills of makers/performers Prestige Originality Cinematography Seriousness (is it a serious programme or one made for fun?) Quality of drama = Writing quality Criteria of quality TV similar to that of quality literature The writer becomes a brand - used to market shows Writers - "Originators of programmes" How to judge quality: Public service function Aesthetic = (Visual or structural?) Avant-Garde or experimental? Exploits the apparent fundamental properties  of the TV medium Professional experience of makers Contribution to definitions of national culture or a perceived heritage of excellence? Costume dramas: Literary sources Costumes, elaborate historical mise-en-scene and location shots Big budgets = 'lavish productions&
