PRE-PRODUCTION • Final Book | Development

-


My role in making our pre-production book was the layout and design. I did this as we went along and as soon as one of the book documents had been completed, I entered it into the book, changing the font and spacing and inserting the pictures and the titles. 

 For printing out book, we used the company Colour Digital Print Limited. Initially, I called them and asked if they would be able to produce the books in the time frame that we needed them as we found some other companies wouldn't be able to ship them so they arrived before christmas,. This company worked out well and saud that they could do it so that we recieved the books a few days before our deadline so we could check them. They were a really good company to work with and when I called again with questions about how to lay out the document, they we're really helpful.



 The margins I chose have worked and no words are lost down the crease of the book, the picture quality and the title are clear. I also think that large coloured titles add a good amount of colour to the pages, especially the ones that are large amounts of text. When we were uploading the book document to the printing company website, they asked for it to be provided in CMYK rather than the colour being in RGB, otherwise, some of the colours may look different after printing. When exporting our book to PDF, I changed the colour format and the final book colours look just like thy on digitally which I'm happy about. 
I am happy with the final product and think that they turned out really well and that all the information we included gets across our idea for Young & Famous, our vision and plans for the production.

Writing a Script

-

*A screenplay only tells us what we can see and hear*  Important things to consider are  Title page - which should contain the name of the story, the writers name, draft date and contact details which are important if you are handing out your script to people. Scene headings - the scene heading should state whether it is to take place inside or outside using INT. or EXT. It should also contain the location, e.g. BEDROOM, HOUSE and time of day - DAY/NIGHT Action -  The action under the scene heading should contain enough detail so that the reader can picture the location or action but concise enough that it is just a long paragraph of description, it should also be written in the present tense.  Characters - when introducing a new character, their name should be written in capital letters so that the reader knows they are a new characters. If the character is not in the scene but can be heart or are a voice over, then (V/O) or (O/S) should be...

PRE-PRODUCTION • Director of Photography | Research

I chose to be the director of photography (DOP) because I feel the over the course of the last two years my camera and lighting skills have increased greatly and I wanted to focus of those skills more in my final year. To fully immerse myself into being a DOP, it is important that I researched deeply into the role and what it would include. Being a Director of photography "includes creating the visual identity, or look of the film/ tv programme, they work with the Director, camera crew and lighting department to achieve this and they manage all aspects of filming, from ordering and overseeing equipment to reviewing footage." (Creative Skillset, 2017) My main tasks will include creating the overall look of Young & Famous and putting into play the vision of the director. I will be focussing the camera and lighting aspects of the role and make the technical decisions as well as some creative ones. Framing: for this, I will work closely with the dir...

Scott and Bailey - TV Drama

-

Scott and Bailey is a British crime drama focusing on the lives of two female detectives. DC Rachel Bailey and DC Janet Scott are not only work colleagues but close friends, a main part of the story is their relationship and the problems they have.  In each episode, there are 3 to 4 different story lines, the main one being based in the police station, centred on a crime and the others about the personal lives of the main characters. For my script, I would like to do something similar, I want to have the main story line revolve around a major case they have given, and then the personal lives of my two main characters, Shane and Annie.  The characters have many flaws that are pointed out in multiple episodes. For my character Shane, I want his flaws to be quite relatable. Through his dialogue and mannerisms, I want to reveal to the audience that he is wary of new people and finds it hard to trust them and that he is also emotionally immature and afraid of com...
