Task 3 - Research for production

Task Three - Research for production

We need to find out about each of the following things before you can start a practical production because if anything goes wrong or if there are any faults, we need to know in advance so we can change what we are doing and have a different idea as a back up.

Technical Equipment

The equipment we will need is a camera, tripod, a dolly the Lucozade Sport drink, and to use our school dance studio. We will get the camera, dolly and tripod from our school Media block. We will not need to hire out any equipment as we have it all in school. We will buy the Lucozade Sports drinks from a local shop, which will cost around three pounds.  We will be filming for around 3 days as we will be doing it during lessons aswell as doing it in our own time. The shoots will take around two hours per day to do. We will do many different shots and edit them all together.

Potential Filming Locations

We will be filming our advertisment in our school dance studio. We will get permission of of the school dance teacher and go there during free periods in school time as well as lunch time. We only need to walk round to the dance studio. The only problem we could face is the dance studio not being free at times, but we can work round this and it will work out.








Actors and Actresses

For our advert, we are using my peir and I. We do not need anyone else in this advert. We may be using our P.E teachers to show energy. They are also young, therefore, it will still appeal to young people. We are both female, and sixteen years of age. We will need to hold auditions to choose suitable cast members. In this advertisment, we will not be paying any money to the actors, and we will not be using the general public.

Costumes and Props

The costumes we will need, we will need dance costumes or sports wear. We will ask if any of the actors or actresses have any of the costumes or props already and go from there. We will store the costumes in a store room in the dance studio to keep them safe. We will not be spending any money on costumes or props.
