Task 1 - Treatment "Voices" (P1)


Treatment
Outline of purpose or concept/plot  
The outline of the plot is that there are two friends that walk past a gravestone. One of the friend (Zara) is laughing and continues even after her other friend (Maria) tells her not to. Then Maria tells a story of people who have heard voices in their heads after laughing at the gravestone of this particular old man. Zara does not believe it, and continues to laugh around the gravestone. After some time, Zara begins to hear voices in her head that no one else hears. She freaks out, and asks Maria how to get rid of hearing voices. At the end she goes back to the gravestone and apologises until the voices suddenly stop.

Assignment Unit 5 - TV & Short film production Task 2 - P2 / M1 / D1 P2 Filmed evidence of equipment setup During the equipment setup, I had to demonstrate a variety of procedures. These include various steps like setting up the tripod, attaching the baseplate to the camera, extending cables and others... The most important parts of the set up were: doing the white balance, checking audio levels, focusing camera and exposure. White balance has to do with the colour of the light and it was necessary to make sure the lighting was balanced for all the shots. Although different light sources have different colour tones, by setting up the white balance the camera makes sure all indoor and outdoor lights are smoothly assembled. Therefore, avoiding any shots to look too bright or too dark. To do the white balance it is necessary to use a white surface like a wall or a blank white paper.  Then if a box appears on the screen it would mean that the white balance has been set ...

Assignment Unit 5 - TV & Short film production Task 4 - P4 / M3 P4 Focus group questionnaire for the final production to obtain feedback about the film we had created, this allows us to pose question to a sample of our target audience to see if they liked the film and what improvements could be made. The focus group comprised of a mix of boys and girls aged 16, who all live in East London, this was a good sample as the film is based on Urban Legends in East London so they will be able to relate to the content and tell me if it appeals to their demographic. There was a variety of different backgrounds in my group so i was able to see if the film was interesting to people of different demographics. We presented the film to the group with a short introduction and after they watched the film, we left the group to complete their questionnaires individually. After that we were able to collect all the answers and see if there were trends between the responses. These are the qu...
