AS2-Task Three:Requirements for production

The reason to why I need to find things out before the actual production, is because there could be problems that occur. Thus if the problems do occur then we need to be aware, in order to solve it so it does not happen again.

Technical Equipment

• Camera
• Tripod  
• Microphone

                       

                         

                         
Luckily the equipment will be provided to us by school media department, yet we can also hire from websites such as hirecamera. So to hire the equipment for two days the camera will cost £80, tripod £16 and microphone £30 meaning the total cost is £126. In addition, the shots are not very long but we may record different angles with one camera, therefore it has to be perfectly precise.

Potential filming location

Our potential filming locations are in Robert Clack School and the other location is my house. To get permission to film in the school we will ask the media teachers of the school, and to film in my house the group will need my permission and obviously if we get permission then we would just have to arrive on time. Personally for me both the locations are in walking distance from each other of five minutes and for my group members it would take just a bit over five minutes to the location by walk. Finally, the issues that might arise in the school is the weather which we are not able to control, along with there being danger of us tripping and the public in this case the students. On the other hand, there seems to be no issues if we were to film in my house.   

    

Actors and Actresses

The sort of actor and actresses we need for the advertisment will be of both genders at the age of 16-17 as it is close to our starting range for the target audience. Furthermore, we decided on not having a well known actor/actress as they could demand a lot of money for something which is just short and simple, so there will be no auditions held. However, myself and Daniel will be casting in the advert for free. Plus, in my opinion I think both me and Daniel can do a good job as we have known each other very well for a long amount of time. Additionaly, as we are going to film in the school we decided we are not going to use the general public, so there is no need for disclaimers yet as mentioned before the public may be walking around to get to lesson. Hence we will wait for them to go, while we get ourselves ready for the next shot and also we may consider a disclaimer as some students could be very disruptive.
  

Costume and Props

The costumes I will be needing is casual clothing such as jeans, t-shirt, trainers and Daniel will need a tracksuit with trainers. Props we are using are phones as well as earphones. All of the costumes and props involved are our personal belongings, so the costumes will be sourced by myself plus Daniel. Another thing Daniel will provide is earphones, and the phone we are using is provided to us by Basra. Theoretically, the shots may be filmed in the space of a day rather than two, therefore we do not need to store them between shots. But if it ends up to be two days then our properties will be stored in our cupboards at home. Lastly, the costumes will roughly cost just over £50 and the phone costs £450.
