PRE-PRODUCTION • Title Sequence | Development

-

After our tutorial where we viewed the title sequence so far, I went away feeling like there were lots of changes I could make to imporve the title sequence. Some specific things I took away from the tutorial were to add in the names of the main actors and to make sure the ending matches with the theme of the show in that they never quite succeed in their goal to become famous. 

 As a group we decided on the ending of the titles and chose an idea that we best best conveyed to our audience who Annie and Dean are and their dreams as well as their reality. After we see Annie and Dean on the red carpet, the background will then fall down to reveal their living room behind them, in order to show they are almost living in a dream world and the red carpet scene what what they wanted but in reality, they are just parading around their living room, and by the red carpet set falling down, it revelas to us as the audience that in reality they are a regular couple who aspire to be famous.

 Some other feedback that I recieved from the group was that the charcaters were very still as there was no movement from them which I agreed with. I have since added in the characters blinking and I have also added Annie waving to the cameras as this fits in with the scene and her characteristics. This adds more movement but also makes the scene more interesting as it adds another elemwnt to the characters. 

As a group we dicuseed how we were going to fit the title of the show into the scene and our final idea and the one we agreed on was the the titles would appear at the end of the title sequence so that they are the last thing people see beofre the episode starts aking it more memorable. I also sugested that I could take one of the letter 'O' in either of the two words and try to make in so that we could green screen out the tile middle and zoom in tghrough the O to end up with the opening shot. 

 Before we agreed to this, I did a test to make sure that it was possible and see if we felt this would work for us. The test that I did is below. 


Although the titles I used were not of the quality I would for the actual openig sequnece, the basic idea did work and therefore I will go ahead and edit together this style title for the final sequence. 

 Overall, I'm pleased with my progress so far and that having my tutorial and regalr feedback from Becca and Laura has been really helpful in my progress.

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
