Studio brief 2 main idea OUDF404

Our main idea since being unable to do our original idea consists of an election for student president where there are two people running against each other. One of the people running is the milky bar kid who promises to give free milky bars forever. The milky bar kid wins the election but then later on in the year he realises he has no budget left for anything. He takes a look at his expenditure and sees he has spent all his budget on milky bars. All the students are angry at him as he has no more milky bars for them. They end up chasing the milky bar kid away. He hides away in a small room and eats the final milky bar he owns.

This is our script of what will happen and what shots will be taken:

We all had our individual roles on set and off set. We ended up having an additional person to our crew James who was then in charge of sound and editing as he needed a part in the production. 
These are the parts we each did;
Sacha- Director, Producer, Script writer, pre-production and assistant editor (colour correction).
Sara- Costume organiser, Cast organiser, Assistant producer and End credits. 
Simon- Camera man, prop buying and initial concept work.
James- Editor, sound editor, On site health and Safety, Additional Casting director, Assistant director. 

Sacha made the storyboard of what scenes will take place and where they will.

Starting scenes. 

Milky bar kid realisation. 

The chase. 

End scenes.

These are what should happen in order, they also show the camera angles that should take place.
Before we could get down to filming me and Sacha went to take a risk assessment in order for us to use the location this is what was sent to the Health and safety officer.

Students filming in the Students’ Union area and the Students’ Union office.

Sacha  Frampton, Sara Gowthorpe & Simon Sturgeon

Duration:

Set up: 30 minutes

Filming: 1.5 hours

Equipment

Dado lights [with lead]

Slow Motion camera [with lead]

Tripod + XD Camera [no leads]

Information

The students will be filming scenes in the Students’ Union area and the office.

No other specific equipment is needed and there will be minimal risks associated with the scenes.

The students have asked if staff and students could be asked to use an alternative route to the smoking area for 5 minute intervals while they film. They will have 2 students to stand at each end of the area to speak to students.

Is this possible to do – as I have suggested they don’t ‘prevent’ students?
