Planning - Equipment_List

Equipment List:

For our AS product we use 3 types of equipment. What we recorded our product on (Camera),  How we set the scene up (Rigs) and how to view it to have best quality (Accessories):
 
Camera - Digital Camera Portable Mini Handheld Camcorder

Rigs - Tripod, Umbrella (Wind), Lighting rig (Red heads)

Accessories - Microphones, Headphones


So in total for our AS production, Callum and I used:
·         Camera x2
·         Tripod x2
·         Umbrella (sound purposes)
·         Red/flood light (lighting purposes)
·         Microphone (audio purposes)
·         Headphones

For most of this equipment we had to book them out form our schools recourse. We had to go ask them in advance to see if they had the equipment we needed, this was in case anyone else had booked out the equipment before hand. This also meant we had to work around booking our equipment out with when our actors where free, all but the umbrella and flood light as I was able to borrow them off a friend.
All equipment is important, as it helps us create a product with a high quality and semi-professional look to it.

Planning - Opening_Scene_Film_Title

Film Title:

The title of our project is 'Choices', having been changed from the original title of 'Really?' following feedback from Mrs Bobbett that it didn't seem suited to a narrative based around a school student turned drug dealer who is conflicted as to whether he should continue to deal or return to school to finish his education following prompting from his friends biased to each side (Rachel's character wants him to return to school, while Lewis' character thinks he should continue to deal drugs). 

The reason for the title change could be attributed to our planned conclusion for our opening sequence, which would feature Ben's character facing a choice of going with Lewis' character to continue their illegal activities or going with Rachel's character and going back to school to finish his education, get a normal job and live a normal, crime-free life.
