Health and Safety Risk Assessment

For our horror opening I made a risk assessment to make sure that we was all aware of the dangers that we would be facing. This ensured that we was prepared for any upcoming dangers and how we could steer clear of this. I then uploaded this to Slide share to help connote this.
 

Script

When it came to filming our opening sequence I decided to create a script using 'Celtx' which was very useful while filming as it helped the two characters in our film know hat to say and when they had to say it. It was also very useful as they was able to rehearse there lines so that they was comfortable with what they was saying and so that we could get straight to work when it came to filming. I chose to use 'Celtx' as it made it look more like a script and more professional when it came to filming. By having a set dialogue is also very conventional when it comes to filming as the actors/actresses will be confident with learning their lines.

Shot List

When we was preparing for our filming to take place our teacher informed us that it was essential to create a shot list in order to make sure we was fully prepared for the day and for our opening sequence. For this I created the first half of the shot list while after my group member Ishpreet Sundal took over and completed the final half. By doing this we was incorporating both of our ideas together which connotes good team work and we found that we both had a go at picking the different type of shots we would want to include.
By creating a shot list helped us prepare everything that we would need for the day and also helped us when it came to filming as all of our shots would be in order, it also helped us with the props and equipment we would be using in each shot so that we wouldn't leave anything out.
Once the shot list was completed, my group member Ishpreet Sundal then uploaded this onto SlideShare.

Storyboard

When we was beginning to plan our opening sequence it was essential that we created a storyboard, I took on the role of conducting the storyboard as it was extremely important that we would use this when it comes to filming. When I was filming the opening sequence I would use the storyboard and inform my group member Ishpreet Sundal of the next shot type we would be using and she directed on how we would connote this. Although we may have not stuck to our story board having one reassured us that we took all the footage that we would need and we also managed to gain some extra footage of the location. Once we had finished our story board we then chose to upload this onto SlideShare.

When it came to creating this storyboard I had to refer back to make sure that I included the 180 degree rule as an essential part of this creation. As there was only two characters in our film opening there would be a large use of two shots, so as I was creating our storyboard I had to make sure that I didn't break this rule and considered it when we came to filming.

We was also taught how the use of shot reverse shot helps portray the use of dialogue in films, we will be using dialogue as an important part of our narrative so to do this in a correct manner we will be using two cameras and two tripods so that we can incorporate a clear understanding of shot reverse short into our horror opening. After conducting our preliminary task this gave us practice for when it came to filming our opening sequence as we had been able to productively use the cameras in this way so we knew what we was doing when it came to filming.
