CID2: Jeans, Trainers, Shirt and Jacket.

Drug Dealer: Cargo Hoodie and hat to hide face

Risk Assessment: Car Scenes: Biggest Risk – We’ll be using experienced drivers all times when the car is being driven, Someone making sure cars come in safely, make sure all actors know exactly where cars come in/out, especially when filming, one person devoted to this, to make sure no accidents happen during or before filming, and all people in cars wearing seatbelts, no unsafe/illegal moves in the cars.

Jumping over fences: Minor Risk – Make sure all actors know exactly how and where they will be going and that we have someone on hand watching their approach, consult videos on how to do this.

Jumping off the motorway steps: Minor Risk – Make sure that actor is prepared and knows how to take fall. We will also place a mat where he will land to ensure least possible harm

Tackling Scene: Minor Risk – We’ll instruct the actors the movements they be performing, so nothing is improvised on the spot, and everyone during the filming process etc. Knows what is going on so people think that the drug dealer was actually tackled to the ground.

Screenplay Decisions And Editing

We used a copy of the final screenplay to make changes as we went along. We made changes to some of the camera shots and angles and dialogue options amongst other smaller changes. We also made noted onto the screenplay details of how we wanted each individual shot to be filmed to give off better effects. However the whole group afterwards decided that a digital storyboard would be more professional and be easier to use to remind ourselves of shots and scenes than reading text and deciphering from that. Our team spend one whole evening with our screenplay and took pictures using a digital camera of all the different camera shots. Along the way we came up with more different ideas and techniques that we jotted down on our screenplay and took pictures of as proof and also so we had a digital copy, which is safer than having the actual paper copy. And the storyboard was completed shortly after which can be found above.

Evaluation

1) The process we went through to reach our genre about was we added all our idea's together and saw the basic analysing themes of all our ideas, which happened to be a horror/comedy genre.
2) During the process we used several creative methods and changes in the process due to several things gthat could not be feasible in the end.
3) Our preliminary could be improved by improving continuity, such as same clothes etc. such as when we accidentally were shooting a scene and the cameraman could visibly be seen in a mirror in the location, in our main task these mistakes need to be corrected.
4) Next time we will will change possible genre, towards another genre outside of usual expected ones such as crime/action with a twist, also outside of our pre -lim genre.
5) we changed several things during the actual shooting process due to problems or impossibilities with location and the people in and around it, as it was a public location. also shot angles could have been changed to show superiority. Furthermore the weapon used could have been made more realistic, The Speed of door entry, the use of dialogue overall, and more use of in depth dialogue and cutting any unnecessary items out.
