PRE-PRODUCTION • Filming Resolution Test | Development

-

In order to decide which filming resolution I wanted to use, I did a test shoot of the two different options that I felt would work best for us. The first was Full HD and the second was Ultra HD. 



Full HD

 Full HD is physically smaller than UHD in the amount of pixles that fill the screen. At 1920x1080, HD is a very high quality of filming and is used to film many televison programmes. 

 This is a high quality of filming and is a good option for filming Young & Famous as it look nice, is easy to edit and will  create a good overall product.

 Ultra HD

 Ultra HD gives more pixles in a frame there for allows more room for edits to be made in post-production without the loss of quiality. When the two shots are put side by side and zoomed in by 400%, there is alsight difference in the quialty in that the UHD is of a better quality than the FHD which is more pixely. 

 One of the stuggles I had with filming in UHD was that when it came to editing, the editign software struggled to cope with the size of the footage which meant that I couldn't watch a clear playback of the footage whihc made trying to edit the footage really difficult. 

Although when close up, there is a slight difference in the quality, when watched at the full screen size, it is very difficult to tell the difference thefore by using FHD, we don't lose out too much as the overall look is very similar. This also makes the edit easier and ensures that we can get clear and precise cuts in the places we want them as I had no trouble watching back the FHD footage.

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 used.  Dialog

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 commitment b

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
