Thirteen First Draft

Although this video is about 7 minutes long, what you acctually need to watch is about 2 minutes. The reason for it being so long is because the audio track continues after the video is finished.

Filming Rough Draft

 




We filmed all of the basic shots in which we needed to create the first draft and meet the deadline. We stuck to the story board and filmed the therapy convosation from three different angles so we had a variety of shots to edit with.

 These images show where we filmed and how we helped to create a realistic scene with the little amount of time we had.
The tripod was improvised using a collection of boxes. Unfortunatley this created a static affect when filming a pan etc. We are looking for a smooth affect so it looks professional.
 Myself and Rachel will be re shotting majority of all of our shots over the christmas break. This will allow us more time to film everything to a better standard and hopefully create the setting to have a larger amount of verisimilitude.

Props and Costume planning

Notebook + pen

We decided to just use this simple american style notebook as it was easy to get access off as I owned one.











Collection of books 
We decided to film in my summer house the scenes during therapy. However my mum uses the summer house for her sewing business. To cover up the machines we used deviders. On the other side of the room you could see other aspects mum uses within her business, to cover this and create a sense of verisimilitude we used a large collection of books.

Change of Plans

The actors for our characters have changed, this is due to late notice and work situations. George Bartram (Benjamin Winters) is stuck at work and we cannot get a hold of him on the day which we had planned to film. Alice Malyon( Jasper Wynee) has personal siutations which prevents her from joioning us aswell. This created a slight problem with the plans. However, Rachel and I at last minute has now decided that myself will be portraying the role of Jasper Wynee. And our friend Elliot Hall will be portaying Benjamin Winters. Also within these last minute descions my mother will be portraying the role of Collette Wynee. These descions would work affectively as she is my acctually mother so the look alike bond will be there to create verisimilitude.

Elliot Hall
Elliot Hall: Benjamin Winters
Elliot is a good friend of myself and Rachel, and I know first hand he is good at acting, I trust he will be okay with this.









Joelle Riley: Jasper Wynee
Joelle Riley
I have been doing drama since I was 4 years old. I have much professional background so I feel comfortable portraying this role.











Collette Riley
Collette Riley: My mum is a really confident person so I trust she will be okay with filming with us. She is only needed for some short sections and she never really needs to speak on camera or see her alot. This role is only really needed for extreme close up etc.





Summer House





There was also a chnage of plans with the filming of the Therapy Room. Unfortunately we were not able access to the study area of Nottingham Contemporary as it was going through re-construction. Due to inconvience we decided to film inside of my living. After lots of disscussion we came to the conclusion of filming in my summer house. This was because it was out of the way and as similar to the study as possible.
