Final Film Poster

For the final poster in comparison to all our ideas, we used the poem as a background and blurred out the words so the title will be more in focus and enlarged. Some of the words are bolded compared to others such as "stressful" and "known" which can reflect what kind of film it will be.

There are a few things that need to be included still. We do still need to include the tagline and also the production name. We need to plan to go back onto Photoshop and put that at the bottom of the cast's name.

Filming

During our lesson, we filmed in the school locations. We started off to film outside with a long shot of our character walking to school. We had to quickly film this scene as people kept passing by the camera or getting in the way.

For this scene, Asher was an extra in our film and we focused on getting an over the shoulder shot between Asher and Marcus playing as the main character, Michael as well as a point-of-view shot to show a more perspective side of the characters.

We filmed in the lunch hall to focus on shooting from Marcus' back with the report card on the front of the table to show how lonely he is during college.

Another location we filmed in was the locker room and did a close up shot of the camera in the locker to show what was in Michael's locker. Along with a medium shot from behind him so we have more shots to look at when we edit our scenes together.

We plan to film a scene with a teacher giving Michael the report card so it will connect to the scenes from the locker room to the lunch hall.

Shooting Schedule

Above is our shooting schedule which we have decided upon. So far, we have decided to start filming on the following dates: 22nd, 25th, 26th and the 27th. Locations will be the school shop, Marcus' house and Nathan's house. We have yet to decide if we need to film in the future but this is currently what we have planned.

Sound

At the Lambeth CLC, we tried out equipment at a Sound workshop that would benefit for our filming and give us better audio for our short film. We took roles to see the difference on being able to hear with each equipment; cameraman, interviewer and the interviewee.

We experimented using the camera with the boom attached which worked well because you can hear the speaker clearly however you cannot hear the other person asking questions if they were behind the camera or at a distance from the speaker. If they were the next to the interviewee, they could be heard clearly.

Along with the cameras, we used the boom-pole to see if there was any difference in sound. It had the same effect as when the boom was attached to the camera but since it was closer to Nathan, there was an increase in volume which is why he is at a good distance from the boom-pole.

Moving on to more audio equipment, we used a wireless microphone recorder attaching it to the speaker. Attaching the microphone on the speaker, you could hear the slightest movements such as rattling very easily so if the speaker wasn't moving around a lot, the sound would clear.

We tried the Maranz however upon using it, one of the headphones weren't working however the audio was still clear and we could hear the speaker clearly. It is also best to keep still while using this equipment as fiddling with the wire and unnecessary movement can be heard and also includes into the recording of the sound.
