Risk assessment

Before we start filming , we need to assess whether it's safe to film on location , also if they is any risks.

Part of our film is filmed in a woods location , there is certain risks filming here such as:
- tree roots sticking out
- wet mud (slippery)
- nettles

Location


For the short film , as a group we decided on three main filming locations which were the woods , doctors office and a house.

The woods took up a fairly large part of the film. This is where she walks about

Costume and Props

Due to the fact alot of our film is filmed outside , as a group we decided on suitable clothing for certain scenes.

Brittney: Woods scene (thick green coat , skinny jeans , black converses and a purple bobble hat)
                                      The hat is what we used to show hair loss , we added darker make up under and
                                      around the eyes.

               Friendship scenes ( Red dress , various pieces of jewellery , black heels)
                                       Make up and hair is alot different a fresh healthy look


      
               Doctors scene (Cream Jumper , skinny jeans , boots)
                                      Make up is very much the same as the friendship fresh ,

Cast List

In our short film we have three characters which show throughout the film at some point.

Main character Brittney: (Amy Tibbett)
Brittney's close friend Rachel: (Megan Weallans)
Britney's Mum: (Carol)
Doctor: (Joe)

As a group we decided four characters was a significent amount to have as less character's wouldn't give us enough to film and more characters would mean the film had to much happening for the five minutes.

Short film coursework

For my A2 coursework , I had to work in a group to create a short film around five minutes long. The short film I have chosen to create is the life of a young girl living with cancer and the struggles she faces in every day situations. It includes many different themes such as friendship , challenges and peer pressure. The film also includes two other compulsory themes which are time and technology whicih we had to use in the short film.

To help with the film , I had to create various plans such as cast list , location , costume , script and risk assessment. These lists helped alot and made the whole task much easier.
