Documentation Post 4 – Week 10

This week, on Monday, we had our presentation to the panel about our comedy short-film. We discussed our film form, synopsis, characters and our inspirations. We then discussed the comedy theories we were going to utilise and how we would employ them. After our presentation, we read some of our script out-loud to the panel and the class. The feedback we received was that despite our slightly unorganised presentation, the project looked promising. We had to make sure to get a cleaner script together, as well as ironing out some of the details to make the film make more sense and be a little more flowing. The only critique we had was the lack of female characters, (which was hard considering our group), but I think we will made this work nonetheless. At this point in time, our focus was to really finalise our script as well as putting our shot-list together. We all headed to our filming locations after class to check them out and get an idea for lighting, shots, sound etc. This was really beneficial for us because we could go into the filming next week with a solid idea on what we had to get done.

By Wednesday, we had been in communication all week and agreed that next Wednesday and Thursday (22nd & 23rd of May) we were all going to film at my house and the surrounding locations, (I had a lot of cleaning to do). Angus finalised the script and the shot-list over this week so we now all we had to do was book our equipment and prepare for next week, the filming week. It was really exciting see our idea come to life and we were all very excited to begin production on the project we had been planning for all these weeks.
