Test Film Analysis

One of the main things we will change on our test film is that we are no longer going to do a split screen. This is because after the test shoot we found that having a split screen was far too confusing for the viewer. Therefore we are going to play the first "dream" sequence as an actual dream the boy is having. We will then show the boy waking up and having him think that everything he does in the dream he can do in reality. When in actual fact as the story unravels we see that he cant fulfil this and everything he tries to do is just embarrassing him and failing.

Test Filming

We carried out a test filming to get an idea of what shots will work together well when it comes to our final filming and editing. I will next produce a post on how we are going to change certain aspects of the film to make it much easier for the audience to understand. This has also be posted on our Walking Frame Productions Blogger and Facebook group.

Storyboard analysis

We created a storyboard so that we were aware of what shots to carry out and when. This made filming a lot simpler and ensured that all our shots flowed smoothly. We used this storyboard to create a test film to then develop so that out final project works as best as possible.

Location Shoot

I took some pictures of the locations that we will be shooting to ensure that when it comes to filming we take proper care and consideration into which shots we will use. This will also allow us to be able to look at the types of lighting will be available and when, and also what equipment we will need when it comes to the day of starting our final film footage.

Production Mind Maps

Mind Maps We produced mind maps whilst brainstorming our idea for our short film. This then led on to coming up with an idea which involved two characters swapping bodies. This then led onto to coming up with an idea which instead of two people swapping bodies instead we see the same person but in too different realities, one being a dream world and one being reality. We will be later creating a short production plan for our developed idea.
