Meeting Minutes 14 - Daniel Da'Costa Brewster

Meeting Minutes 13 - Daniel Da'Costa Brewster

Weekly Update: Wednesday 10th July - Thursday 18th July

Since last week we've only been finishing up the few thing left of the "Planning & Research" section of our production. This week the work that was due were:

• Score Notes
• Storyboard
• Equipment List
• Budget

As I said the "Score Notes" were to be completed by Daniel by for the 10th and he'd done that  however we decided that as our film is an ongoing production right now we will be adding more sounds and music along the filming and editing process. Therefore these score notes are not the last of them but are the basis. Daniel also completed the storyboard so then we as a group went through them and discussed a few tweaks that needed to be added which he in now in the process of doing.

Finally, Daniel has written up the "Equipment List" of what we have and are to be using for this whole production process and as usual before he wrote it up we had discussed it before hand. Furthermore, I  have also written up our budget list. This will hopefully help us with thinking through the decision of adding (if necessary,) a new idea, as we would be able to review the cost implications.

Location Release Form

This is the form we shall be using when securing a filming location, stating that we have been allowed to film at the location, as well as enabling us to bring and use the equipment needed for filming on the location. By using the form we are providing physical evidence that we are able to film at our chosen location and it legally binds the owner of the location into a contract with us. Therefore, if any problems from the owner of the location arises once we finished filming, such as the owner no longer wants us to use the footage containing their home, we can then use this document to show that they had given us full consent within the contract to use footage with their property even if they would in the later stages want to pull out. This is a legally binding document and if broken and needs to be, it can allow us to take the owner to court.

Score Notes - Daniel Da'Costa Brewster

Obtained from: Internet/SoundCloud - I decided to go with this song, as it helps bring emotion towards the characters in the film and the lyrics in the song really relate to the ongoing drama which has unfolded within the film, 'No one can save us' and lyric which is repeated over and over again within the song goes well in relation to Lucy, who after being raped, nobody was there to help her or save her from the pain, physically and mentally which she will receive.


Obtained from: Internet/SoundCloud - This song by Jim James is a very powerful piece of non-diegetic, it helps to really set the scene within the film as it will address the context of the detention scene very well and create a verisimilitude for the audience and create a sense of boredom for both Ramon and Mr Wicks. It also helps the audience feel for the young man 'Ramon'. Obtained from: Internet/SoundCloud - This song will be used in our walking scene, at first you could argue that it doesn't really go with the shot or the genre of the film, however it is easy to connote that the shot does go with the scene as it foreshadows an event which might happen, the sharp instruments with the high bass sounds create a real sense of awareness and make the audience really think, What is going to happen next? drawing them into the film from the start.

Weekly Update: Wednesday 3rd July - Wednesday 10th July

This week has been a light week in terms of workload. Assignments that needed to be completed were:

•    Score Notes
•    Location Release Form

Also this week, Daniel begun sorting out score notes for the sounds and music we will be using for our film and should have a basis by the end of today which we are to discuss.

Lastly, I also made the "Location Release Forms" so that if any damage or mishaps were to happen within our time filming at the location we would not be held accountable and so that we have a physical written copy between us and the owner of our location so that they can not choose to not want their location to be used any longer. This form is ready for when we do find a location.

Health and Safety - Risk Assessment (Sunraj Bolina)

Location: Back Up

Media Coursework - Location 1, a set on Flickr.

These images are of our back up location. It's a great setting but we're looking for something easier to travel to after school. The house is small and it looks as if it would be lived in by an intellectual person as there are books everywhere. This upholds the image that we hope to portray of the father/ teacher Mr Wicks.

This week we've just been continuing on the work that is to be completed. Along with discussing our idea further and thinking of new ideas that we could incorporate into film, we have also been thinking of new interfaces that we could use to make our blog more interactive.
