In the first session we learnt how you
get ideas for moving image projects on to the screen. Before anything is
commissioned or funded a pre production stage takes place where ideas are
developed and clarified ready to shoot. Once there is a clear
creative vision for a project the practical, logistical and technical aspects
have to be planned. In groups we were asked to produce a pre
production package based on a short drama script provided. It involved
working through the essential practical and creative stages of preparing a
project ready to shoot.
In our groups we worked through the process of visualizing the appropriate style for the script, creating a detailed treatment including images and references.
During the class session we were given the tools to breakdown a script and idedntify the key elements required to create the essential management paperwork.
Homwork task:
Week 2:
In our groups we divided roles including:
-Acting
-Lightng
-Sound
-Filming
-Editing
We were then shown the scipt for a short scene from fight club, and I took the initiative to be the actor and main protagonist. After breifely learning the script it was time to get into my role !
The Script:
We decided to take a different approach compared to other groups. At the end of Fight Club we find out that Jack and Tyler are actually the same person and Jack is just a figment of Tyler's imagination. Therefore, we decided to make myself act as both Jack and Tyler as we wanted to differentiate the scene as much as possible from the origional.
Our Fight Club scene:
Behind the scenes (set-up):
Week 3:
Our final task was to read through a film script
called 'Clay'. We were then split into groups and had to create two powerpoints
(clay treatment and Production management) that allowed us to get an insight
into the pre - production stage of a film. Within our groups we divided roles
for each powerpoint.
