Production Diary

Image
 In this post I will show off my production diary, this includes behind the scenes of my filming production and the codes and conventions I used etc. Phase 01: Setting the Camera (Phone) While a smartphone may not be a proper camera it does produce high quality videos and image due to it being a model (I phone 11) that is still up to date, although it isn’t the most advanced phone to exist it gets the job done. The phone cover I have also acts as a stand to help balance the device when recording so I never really got to use a tripod for this one.  This device allows me to produce high quality images as well as live videos.

Pre-Production: Creative Elements

Creative Elements for Pre-Production .  Scripts : Draft Script (Original concept idea) Using google docs I have built both scripts from scratch, click on the links to view them.  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Erm4_rMwcoBYPG5WZpMvFx8k5aF9icih1jzBVwWqZ88/edit  The first script contains an idea of a young man named Tommy who is living his daily life at Sunderland, he hangs out with his two friends both Oliver and Harry.

The reason I have scrapped this idea was because I came up with another one that I actually liked slightly better then the original concept, I will explain as I go through the second script. Script draft 02: (New and final Idea...
