Place Setting Updates

Yesterday Jo began thinking of places we could film, mainly focusing on the alley ways. She took some pictures of various places and I will see what the rest of my group think about them. I have also thought about costumes.

Audience Research Updates

Last lesson Amy created a Facebook page in which we will all post anything that we need feed back on including moodboard and animatic etc. She has invited a number of people to the group so that they can easily see the work and have everything together to look at.

Tripping over lighting kit power cables.	Serious injury, electrocution.	Cables are to be 'gaffer taped to the floor for the duration of the shot.	I will be in charge of taking responsibility for obtaining he gaffer tape from the home.
Kit getting wet from drinks/ rain.	Electrocution, damaged kit.	Don’t drink anything when near equipment and if the weather isn’t good then re-schedule for another day.	We will need to arrange more than one day we are all free in case we can’t do it on that day.
Burning ourselves on the lights.	Burns.	Make sure that the lights don’t over heat and ensure no one touches them until they are cooled down.	Amy will make sure the lights aren’t in the way so people don’t have to get close to them when walking past.
Lights setting things on fire.	Burns, equipment damaged.	Make sure nothing is covering the lights for example; blankets, clothing etc.	Dan will check this regularly and stop people putting things on the kit.
Recording over previous work.	Losing our work.	Before recording make sure it is at the end of the tape.	We will all check this before recording.
Forgetting costumes and props.	Re-scheduling for another day.	Make a list of everything we need and assign the different things to different people.	I will make this list after our meeting.
Running out of battery in the camera.	Re-scheduling for another day.	Ensure the battery is fully charger before working.	Amy will make sure it is fully charged before leaving the house.

Customes & Props

Costumes

Ideally the main female destroyer would be wearing a black dress when she is sat on the edge of the bed to emphasize what she was doing.

A black dress is seen to be classed as a cocktail dress which is essential to every women's wardrobe, that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. 

This is so it shows that she was out the night before as she wouldn't be wearing a black dress in the morning. 

She then goes to her friends house the next day to see her friends where she would be wearing casual, to emphasize that she is tired and is chilling with her closest friends but still is a stereo typical women who likes to look nice. 

The girls are all in nice casual clothes as they all are close with each other and know each others fashion sense. 

I was thinking for the male role, that he needs to look quite simple, but scary and demanding so I think when he  is walking down the alley way he needs to look demanding so I thought of a long black coat and a hat.
