Props for Drama

Props for scenes 3-5
I have bought a foam brick to use in the mugging scene so that I will keep my actors safe from any harm during the scene and it will also make the scene look realistic and authentic. As it will be dark outside, you will not be able to tell that it is foam. From seeing the brick in Brendan's hand, it will immediately add tension to the scene which is something that I want to create. 



This will be the laptop that Miranda will be using to work on during scene 5. I have chosen a Mac because she is an architect and therefore is paid well enabling her to afford a high tech laptop. Also lots of software that Apple makes, architects use. 




 There will be a wine glass on the coffee table for scene 3 when Brendan has taken the spare keys and has let himself into Miranda's house. I have chosen to have deep red wine (which I will substitute for Black current) because the red symbolises the danger that Miranda is in when dealing with Brendan. Also it shows how Brendan is confident and feels at home around Miranda's house as he is comfortable pouring himself a glass of wine. 





Props for scenes 1-2 

As it is a birthday party, Miranda will walk in with a bottle of champagne in a gift bag for David. Again, having champagne as the gift shows how she is financially stable and can afford a classy bottle of champagne.

Studio Production: Scripting for As Live and VT Productions

Image
A script for an As Live and VT Production, the scripts are very different to that of a film. Below is a guide of how to create a script for an As Live Production.  Layout of an As Live Script There should be two columns: - Left= Shot numbers, camera numbers and shot description. - Right= script, stage instructions, Sound Effects and Graphics.  There are cut lines placed at the end of the word or action at which the cut is to take place.  This allows the vision mixer to the cut the show together with ease.  Adding shots to the script means you need to create a sub shot. For example, Shot 10 would become Shot 10a.  The Camera Operators need to know that you have made a change to the script so that they can add this onto their camera card and be completely aware of what they are doing.  These camera card are provided so that they are fully aware of what it is they need to do for their shots and when to do s...

Fiction Adaptation: "Being British" by Deanna Rodger

Image
I have chosen to adapt the poem " Being British " by Deanna Rodger.  From my understanding of the poem, it is about the challenges she has faced regarding interracial stereotyping and the struggle to be accepted as a British Citizen of natural birth.  Deanna is a spoken word poet and an international performer. She has had achievements such as being awarded " Elle's " UK " 30 inspirational women under 30 " as well as The Female Lead 's " 20intheir20s " and Cosmopolitan's  " No.1 trailblazing woman ".  She is also a well known poetry grand slam champion and does in fact host her own poetry competitions such as; Chill Pill  and Come Rhyme with me.  Deanna lends out her poetry for educational purposes and evidence of this is seen on her website: https://deannarodger.co.uk/deanna-biography/ I have chosen to adapt "Being British " because I think it will give me a challenge to create a realistic drama out of Dea...

Production: Producer's Role During Post-Production Research

As I am the Producer for Young & Famous and I am not editing the project, I understand that the Producer takes a step back from the post-production phase.  I have researched into what the Producer's role is throughout this stage as I was unsure if what I was doing was enough.  According to the Creative Skill set; a Producer's role throughout Post - Production is to keep in regular contact with the Director and editor, but to let them harness the footage and create the film.  As the Producer, this is their time to deal with all the finances of the film such as paying actors, marketing and liaising with the distribution companies to sell or exhibit the film and confirming edit or sound changes.  As we are not going to be distributing Young & Famous to big companies to sell, I focused on paying all of the actors their expenses and regularly coming into the edit suit for review meetings with Simon and Andrea.  I...
