Mise En Scene - Captive

A created brainstorm was created by us all for what we would need for our title sequence filming, it was not all going to be used and a few extra things would be added. We chose to do this so we all clearly understood what was required so would have no trouble or problems when it came to filming. Also things that are include in the brainstorm are: Props for maria, props for doctor etc, we decided to include camera movements in this brainstorm so we could bring this with us to filming so it was al on one page. 

Plan of filming for Title Sequence

In Friday's lesson we wanted to create a calendar for:planning the filming process,key thing for the sequences and dates to meet up.

In the half term we have all decided to meet up for two days to get the all filming done in all the settings we want to film in. We planned to do some pre test filming for shots and using the camera equipment so when it comes to the final filming time we have enough practice. However we need to film some scenes in school because the easy access to good quality lighting equipment the school can provide because we wont be able to access this when we film in the half term. 

Sophie created this calendar on Outlook and used our online social chat group to send it to us so we could all have the same plan to follow so no mistakes were made. 

Roles of the Group - Title Sequence

As the time to filming our title sequence is coming close to starting which wanted all of our group to have a major role in the title sequence, so we decided to look at our personal strengths and what we could best contribute to the title sequence. 
Our final decisions for our roles were:

• Me: As a group we decided I would be playing the female/main character in the film, 'Maria' who would also be seen in the title sequence. This decision was made because I feel confident in acting and being in front of the camera this is because I did GCSE Drama which has given me confidence.

• Lucy: We chose Lucy to be in charge of filming the title sequence and help direct the sequence because she will be behind the camera most of the time. As a group we came to this decision because Lucy had done GCSE Media and she has slightly more knowledge of camera movements and angles.Also she feels comfortable working with the camera and equipment the most. 

• Christian: The other main character to be included in our title sequence was the doctor/stalker male character and Christian seemed like the best choice to play the role. We believed this because he is doing AS drama and previously did GCSE Drama along with myself. In addition he is tall and has the right frame to be a believable older man. 

• Sophie: She would be the voiceover for the title sequence after we had done the filming and begin to start editing for the final piece. We thought that Sophie has the most innocent voice but is also confident to speak and be recorded. Furthermore she would support Lucy in the camerawork process when we are filming me and Christian.

NEW BRAINSTORM - Ideas for the content of the title sequence

This the new brainstorm we created so the information we put on the hand written was more clearly visible, so we as group could more easily access the information.
