planning- shot schedual

Shot 1- Will be an establishing shot and you will see Stanley walking up an ally way on his way to the shop, trying to avoid bumping into Adam. This shot will be used to show the full length of the character from a long distance. Also it could show the surrounding area and you can see how comfortable he is in the area depending on who is around and what area he is in.

Shot 2- cut to a medium close up of Stanley, This shot will be used to see an actors facial expression but also shows the actors body language, it is also good to distinguish what genre the film could be, as you can see the actors clothing. 

Shot 3-cut to an establishing shot and you will see Adam walking up an ally way to meet Stanley although Stanley does not know he will bump into Adam.   This shot will be used to show the full length of the character from a long distance. Also it could show the surrounding area and you can see how comfortable he is in the area depending on who is around and what area he is in.

Shot 4- cut to another medium close up of Adam walking in the same ally as Stanley but they have not yet met. This shot will be used to see an actors facial expression but also shows the actors body language, it is also good to distinguish what genre the film could be, as you can see the actors clothing.

Shot 5 and 6- cut to a medium long shot of Stanley this will show his facial expression and body language and also will show the audience what is around the actor and gives them an idea of what is going on in the film. 

Shot 7- cut to a high angle shot of Stanley still walking along the alley, this shot is used to show that Stanley is a weak character and how it can make them feel to have someone of a higher authority tower over them, he is getting looked down on.

Shot 8- cuts to the opposite, which is the low angle shot of Adam walking, which will show that Adam is the stronger character and has power over Stanley. Usually a character people look up to.

Shot 9-cuts to a shot reverse shot of Stanley then Adam then Stanley again you will see a close up of the two characters faces and Stanley is still oblivious that he will see Adam soon. This shot will be used to show a close up of both of their facial expressions.

Shot 10- cuts to back to a medium long shot of Stanley which again is used to see an actors facial expression but also shows the actors body language, it is also good to distinguish what genre the film could be, as you can see the actors clothing.

Shot 11- cuts to a side shot of Adam and tracking is being used as he come round the corner and shocks Stanley with his presence, this angle will show you the side of Adams body including his face this may show the audience his body language.

Shot 12-cuts to a reaction shot of Stanley’s reaction to seeing Adam coming round the corner and then coming face to face with him as a low tracking is being used also. Stanley looks confused and scared. 

Shot 13- cuts to a two person shot of Adam and Stanley this shot will be used to show Adam and Stanley and how they act around each other, it can show their relationship, friendship and how comfortable they are around each other. You can also see their emotion and can see both actors body language

Genre- Thriller

Form- Short film

Location-  Somewhere quiet / garages

Plot outline-
Stanley owes Adam money for a previous drug deal in which Stanley could not afford to pay so Adam had helped him get out of being beaten and hunted down. Stanley is walking after returning from hiding and is walking through the streets which will allow the voice over to explain what has happened previously between them two and for the two minutes we will have the camera following him. The scene will then end when Stanley finally bumps into Adam and cuts which will leave an enigma with the audience.

planning- costume and makeup

For the costumes in our film the characters Adam and Stanley were dressed slightly different Stanley was dressed more casually where as Adam was dressed more smart looking.
Stanley wore a green parker coat with a brown, white and grey scarf, black jeans with white trainers.
Adam was wearing a smart black fitted coat with a beige jumper underneath, black skinny jeans and black loafers. From what the characters are wearing it can tell you a lot about the character. You would usually know how wealthy the character is and where the character would come from.

planning- equipment

Equipment-

for our main task we will not be using much equipment but we will be using:
A Camera
A Tripod
A Podcast

we will need the camera to film our film and to take pictures of our location. we will be using the tripod so that we could have a steady movement shot when either following a character or when having a wide shot. we used the podcast when Malcolm had to do a voice over for his character Stanley.

planning- location shots

location shots-
Our location shots would most likely be in a garage setting/abandoned area. we have found a big alley way which backs onto garages. cars can come up or down the path.we have chosen this location as we will be able to film with no interruptions and no noise, but this will also create an intense atmosphere when Malcolm (Stanley) is walking up the alley and also between the two characters as it will make the effect of the fight scene look better.

Within our location we have changed our first area of choice which was the garages due to the length of time it took to get to this location and limited space we had within this location.
So in replacement to this we have chosen to film in a housing estate as it sets the realistic features of everyday life and having an ordinary teenager walking through with a want for revenge and a dark past.

planning- risk assessment

risk assessment-

There wont be many risks with in the making and organizing of our film, as we will be filming sensibly and safely, making sure that we do well and do not have anything going wrong. The risks that may occur would be things like cars being in the road, as our film  is located in an alley way which cars can access and come through, but we will prevent this by making sure the road is clear when we are filming. If any cars do come onto the road we will simply pause our filming and move to one side. Another risk could be when Ollie and Malcolm start to fight, they could accidentally hit each other. this will be prevented by being careful and safe as we have researched into stage fighting and know the correct way for the film to look as if they are hitting each other but really they are not, making it look realistic and brutal.
