Health and Safety Risk Assessment

Health and Safety Risk Assessment

Before the filming of our project we put together a short health and safety risk assessment to determine the level and extent of the precautions we might have to put in place to protect our child actors, as they are only 8 and 10 years old.

Over the duration of our actual project, there weren't many problems in terms of health and safety. The crew managed to film effectively and the actors were able to use the play equipment without falling or hurting themselves. There were a few instances when the kids would try to attach the buttons to their capes and accidentally prick themselves with the safety pins. Luckily the pins are almost blunt and are pretty much harmless, so kids didn't were not injured in any way, however after Sadie and Vinnie pricked themselves multiple time, the crew attached the the pins to the capes rather than them trying to do it themselves to avoid further accidents.

Title Sequences

Title Sequences The title sequence of a film opening is especially important as it aims to establish character, setting, genre, mood and atmosphere. The opening titles introduce the title of the film and the key people involved in the film through visual text, i.e. the distribution company, the production company, the names of the primary/top billing actors, sometimes introduced alongside their character, the producers and executive producer and the director and then the film title itself. Generally the cast and crew of the film are introduced in this order and the director always comes last. Sometimes the editor, composer, costume/character designer, cinematographer and screen writer(s) will be included in the opening sequence, but this can depend on the overall running time of the film as well as the running time of the opening itself. Opening sequences are expected to include aspects such as an establishing shot, introduction the main cast, or at least the protagonist, and...

Evaluation of Preliminary Task

Evaluation Explain about how you went about the three compulsory aspects of this exercise - shot reverse shot, 180-degree rule and match on action editing. The compulsory editing aspects of the preliminary task were all followed correctly throughout the entirety of the video.The shot reverse shot features the two primary actors (Claire and Tilly) sitting face-to-face at a desk when t hey have a conversation about how Claire had been stealing stationery from people’s lockers around the school. The camera flicked between them numerous times varying between close up and medium shots. These shots show the facial expressions of our actors and help to pull the story line together. The 180-degree rule was a little bit tougher for us to follow, as we had to re-shoot the opening shot as we had accidentally broken the rule. However, the re-shoot meant that the rule was no longer broken and the editing could be completed efficiently. The final compulsory aspect wa...

Introduction

Hello! I'm Tilly and this is Amy! This blog is going to outline our Media A Level project, starting with our pitch and preliminary task until our final project, a 2-minute film opening of our own design. The final project will incorporate the conventions of film openings, such as establishing the setting, genre, primary characters, aesthetic, establishment of enigma and, most likely, it will include opening titles. We will also include various camera shots, camera angles, camera techniques (e.g. handheld camera adds tension, verisimilitude and can create POV shots) and a diverse cast. We also hope to create enigma and interest in the film. We have chosen to explore the family adventure movie genre. As we don't have the technology to create CGI animated children's films (or the budget), we will be attempting a live-action children's film instead. Examples of this type of film include ' Home Alone (1990) ', ' Cheaper By The Dozen (2003) ', or ...
