Answers to Questions…..Media Premiliary Task

1. We first decided on what we were going to do, and then we sorted out what we needed and where we were going to base it (location). We manage to find most of the costume for then characters and props. We then had trouble find some of the props and clothing for the old woman, so we decided to change the character to a foreigner, which made it easier for props and costume. We first had trouble finding the location for the filming, as it is a police investigation interview, we eventually found a room at the sewell park site and manage to film. We didnt use much props for a task, so therefore wasn’t a big issue. We first thought of what genre we wanted it to be and what about, once we decided on that we developed the script.
2. We were originally going to use a real cigerette, but we decided to either use a fake one or a smoke machine, in case for health and safety reasons. But since we couldn’t access a smoke machine, we did not use it.
3. When making the script we all had ideas and we made them into the script. When we created the storyboard we divided it in four (person enters, beginning of convosation, end of convosation and leaving the room.) We wrote on the storyboard any sound, lighting and what camera shot will be used.
4. We knew who was going to do the acting so first we decided on the costume the characters would where (old woman and the investigator) and then we decided on the actor who will be playing them. But this soon change because of props and costumes we not accessible for filming. We then thought where the appropiate location would be and like. We wanted a room with clear walls, like an interview room. Then we discusted what props we were going to used.
