Pre Production Planning

Mise en Scene Planning

One of the pre production tasks was to look at the Mise en scene of our program.

Casting:

As shown in our presentation we have already looked at a number of different cast members who fit the role of our characters well. We are also hoping to work closely with the schools drama department in order to cast the correct members for our production in order to make it as professional as possible.

Locations: 

We have also briefly discussed locations in our presentation. When discussing on locations for characters such as the immigrant we thought of Southall Broadway but later came to the conclusion it would be inappropriate because of the riots in 1984 it could offend a number of people and also break ofcom's rules. Other highly Asian populated areas such as Hounslow will be used instead. We will also be having scenes shot in estates, gyms and boxing arena's alone.

Lighting:

When considering lighting we decided it would be best for the type of program it is to leave it looking as natural as possible and so we have decided to use no particular lighting and just natural lighting. 

Props:

Each character will possess different props. For example the failed boxer will carry boxing gloves, the failed WAG would carry a handbag with an animal inside of it.

Costumes:

The costumes worn by the actors is a very important aspect in this program as it will be what allows the audience to differentiate the characters with for example the failed boxer is likely to be wearing boxing clothes such as shorts and so the audience are able to recognize and identify with him.

Progress Report/ Action Plan

Progress -
This week we have began filming and the opening scenes have been filmed, we have also made changes to the script. We also took lessons from the drama teacher and found better locations for our production.

Action Plan -
This week we will try to get one characters filming over and done with. Also plan the magazine cover properly. 

Front magazine cover Pictures

4. The good thing about this picture is that you can see the character smiling, she is not looking at the camera so it seems like she is not looking down at the audience but is in the same social status as the audience not above them.  She is in outfit for the shoot so it seems as she always seems this way, not putting on a front for the audience.

 5. The good thing about this picture is the pose done by the character, the props are in place, and she has the bag in her hand so it seems as she is ready for the shoot, but in this one she is looking directly at the camera so she may be looking down at the audience as she may be superior to them.

7. The good thing about this picture is the way the bag is positioned, it could be better if the bag was put more into the photo. If this is done so then the bag is emphasised in the photo and the audience can relate with the character.  

 8. One thing good about this image is that the character is looking directly at the audience, by doing so she is directly addressing the audience, it is also high key lighting so the light is all natural, and by not wearing make up even though she is a wag she may be showing that she is more natural than fake. 

 6. One way this photo could be improved is if there was more props, but the way the hair has been positioned is different to other images so in some ways it looks better but the props such as the bag need to be in the image.

 9. The reason why this picture has been ranked at the bottom is due to the fact the way the characters face looks, she does not seem happy enough to be on a front cover of a magazine, so it seems as if she is not interested. 

 2. The good thing about this picture is that you can see the character smiling, she is not looking at the camera so it seems like she is not looking down at the audience but is in the same social status as the audience not above them.  She is in outfit for the shoot so it seems as she always seems this way, not putting on a front for the audience. Also she is positioned differently in this image so it seems as if she is more happier and in the 'mood' for a photo shoot.

















3.One thing good about this image is that the character is looking directly at the audience, by doing so she is directly addressing the audience, it is also high key lighting so the light is all natural, and by not wearing make up even though she is a wag she may be showing that she is more natural than fake. On the other hand the  way this photo could be improved is if there was more props, but the way the hair has been positioned is different to other images so in some ways it looks better but the props such as the bag need to be in the image.
