PLANNING: RISK ASSESMENT

  

PLANNING: RISK ASSESSMENT

A risk assessment is necessary to avoid any injuries or dangers which we may come in contact with throughout our filming. This table below presents these possible dangers and how we avoided them. I categorised this table into the main themed risks: Location/Environment, Weather and General Public. 

HEALTH HAZARD: 

These are all the factors which could be dangerous and are highlighted as risks to us. For example, we identified the fact there were rabbit holes where we were filming, factors of which may be dangerous to us due to if we accident stood in one it may injure us.

RISK LEVEL:

This is judged with labels, H, M or L, standing for high, medium and low, judging the health hazard by how dangerous it is. None of our risks we discovered were labelled H, mostly medium and low. An example of this is when we labelled the rain risk as M due to the rain wasn't an extremely significant risk, however it could effect us when filming.

RISK EXPOSURE:

This is a list of how and why the health hazards are dangerous, for example, we evaluated the 'trespassing' problem by explaining that being found in a location which we weren't given permission to film in may result in us being banned from there or just get in trouble with the teachers. 

CONTROL MEASURE: 

This box explains how to avoid the dangers and reduce the risk of them, such as wear more layers of clothing to avoid the cold weather when filming.

PLANNING: OUR COMP LIST

 KEZIA WILLIAMS: She believes that it is really important to understand who your audience is and what motivates them and what’s going to interest them and drive them to go to the cinema. So you start, often, by examining similar films that have been released in the past– comparable films is a way in which we refer to them in the industry– and create a set that we can then look back at data so we can look at lots of different data and do research, really, on those comparable films to identify who the audience was on those films. So it might be that we look at demographic data and think about, did it skew more male or more female? What’s the age group that it appeals to?Skip to 0 minutes and 46 seconds Does it have multiple different audiences that that can appeal to? And there’s lots and lots of cinema-going trends that you can dig into from that comparable set. We’ll also look at box office data to understand regionality, to look at the cinema-going skew– so did more people go to a certain cinema chain to see these comparable films? Right down to which cinemas performed. So it might be that there’s a cinema in London that had a fantastic box office share, and that’s an important aspect for us to consider. And then once you really understand who the audience on those comparable films were, you can start to talk about the differences and similarities between those films and the film that you’re working on.

Today we carried out similar research

 List of three comparable films, find three films that are going to be in competition with our film.

 

YOU GET ME: Written by Christopher Crowe, directed by James Foley

This movie fills the audience with both interest and tension due to the main character, Holly, played by Bella Thorne, who acts as a crazy obsessed teenager, she is in love and desperate for Tyler (the other main character) and his attention. Tyler is played by John Smith.

The plot of Holly's role as a psychotic girl is initially unknown by the audience, however her true identity is soon exposed as the film continues. This film is chosen as one of our competitions due to it's gripping and intriguing storyline which takes a turn and surprises it's viewers, as well as the involvement the film has on it's audience, engaging them with the tension and stress of the plot. The roles are played by well known actors and actresses, especially Bella Thorne who stars in at least 36 movies and multiple tv shows. This film links to our personal film idea due to the thrill and suspense involved, as well as the psychotic main character, who has inspired us. 

MISERY: After a major car incidence, novelist Paul Sheldon (James Caan) is rescued by former nurse Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates), who claims to be his biggest fan. Annie brings him to her remote cabin to recover, where her obsession takes a dark turn when she discovers Sheldon is killing off her favorite character from his novels. As Sheldon devises plans for escape, Annie grows increasingly controlling, even violent, as she forces the author to shape his writing to suit her twisted fantasies.Rob Reiner's Misery is largely hailed as one of the all-time best Stephen King horror film adaptations. Also starring James Caan, Richard Farnsworth, Lauren Bacall, and Frances Sternhagen, Kathy Bates. Misery tells the story of famed romance novelist Paul Sheldon (Caan), who suffers a car accident in the snowy woods of Colorado.

FEAR: It revolves around a wealthy family whose seemingly perfect life is threatened when their teenage daughter begins dating an attractive and mysterious young man. The film was largely derided by critics upon its release, but became a major hit in the spring of 1996, engaging $20 million at the U.S. box office. This is our competition because it contains some very large names within the acting world; Reece Witherspoon and Mike Wahlberg. This is relevant to my film because both contain an obsessive male character. That goes to many lengths to get close and stalk the other leading female character. 

PLANNING: INITIAL FILM TREATMENT

 A Treatment will usually include a: 

TITLE: Usually a good title is used to present a solid central idea

LOGLINE: A one/two sentence stating an idea proposal 

SYNOPSIS: Outlines the key idea in more detail (300-500 words)

CHARACTERS: outline each main character with a short description and introduction 

TOPLINE: an 'elegant sentence which sums up the action' 

BIG QUESTION: What is the enigma which will unfold? 

NEXT:

•  After writing the treatment, you create a STORYBOARD (hand drawn on sheets we are given) which presents a brief visual idea of a storyline 
• and a SHOTLIST

BRAINSTORMING IDEAS: 

We initially brainstormed multiple different ideas and genres to start off with. We have access to a boat house, and therefore thought planning something which involves that location would be successful. 

Locations for Shots:

• Boat
• The Mansion corridors 
• Isolated places 
• Woods
• Empty car park
• Walking down an empty dark road

FILM IDEAS:

Props: 

• Pin Board
• Documents
• Pictures
• Files
• Doctors notes 

Plot:

• Genius girl with access to the whole/majority of her brain, is being stalked 

Effects:

• Clips from YouTube
• Titles
• Background music/sounds
• Filters

Location:

• London (south bank)
• Liv's boat

Girl has more access to her brain than normal and therefore the stalker wants her cause she's different.

TITLE: Abnormal, the exception 

CHARACTERS: The doctor, the stalker, the girl (main)

ART OF THE TITLE- SPECTRE JAMES BOND

The opening scene of spectre starts with a plain black screen with simplistic white phrasing 'The dead are alive' this short phrase emphasises the suspense and grasps the audience by making them wonder what will happen next. The action films conventions are shown by certain images such as the dominical vibrant streets of Mexico City.  

 The scene begins with a continuous birds eye-view shot where Daniel Craig ( James Bond) carries out an untheorized mission in Mexico city on 'The day of dead'. In the opening sequence, Bond is being portrayed as indomitable because of the way the camera is following his every move. and The first shot was lensed with a technocrane, which created the establishing shot, the camera was then lowered and zoomed into to follow the actors. A transition occurs when bond enters the hotel with the woman which is actually occuring on a different street.
