In this weeks teem meeting we discused:

• Myself and Vijaya will work together in creating the poster as we both have the knowledge and ability to use photoshop, due to both of us studying Graphic Design
• Shorai will do the journalism aspects for our film review as she is the best suited to this task due to her studying English Language.
• Benedicte will be the photographer as she has the most knowledge and understanding in how to use the camera, this is also due to her studying Photography. The shoot will be on the 8/01/2015.
•  We decided that the colour scheme we will be using is green, black and white. As these colours are used to represent natural scenery.

Team Meeting

Team Meeting 

This week (Week 6) as a group we discussed the following:

• What sound we would need to add within our short film to emphasise the actions within the film e.g make it creepier. 
• What parts of the film we need to take out as the film is over the length of time it needs to be (5 minutes).
• What to say on t he broadcast as it needed to be changed to give the audience a clearer understanding of what is happening in the film.
• What type of establishing shots to use at the beginning of our film to set the scene.
• What we need to do with dark scenes in the film as it is hard to see what is happening. We did this by using colour correction - a tool on final cut pro.

Team meeting 

This week (Week 5) as a group we discussed the following:

• That as a group we should try and find people which can help us empty the cargo container and also help us put the items back, as this makes it quicker for us to start filming. 
• That Benedicte will be our main camera woman as i (Simone) can no longer do it as i am now one of the actors actor. 
• We are deciding what kind of pictures will look good as a poster and also looking at if we should take some photos in the locations we are filming at (Hollow ponds and cargo container) to put in the posters as well. 
• To use close up and extreme close ups to set the scene rather than just using an establishing shot. 
• That while we are filming we should take pictures of what we are doing so we can put it on our blog to show what we were doing on this day, rather than just talking about it. 
• Talking about what days to shoot our scenes as we are now behind schedule.

Team Meeting

This week (Week 4) as a group we discussed the following:

• That we should try and find people which can help us empty the cargo container and also help us put the items back, as this makes it quicker for us to start filming.
• Benedicte will be our main camera woman as i no longer can do it as i am now an actor.
• We are deciding what kind of pictures will look good as a poster and looking at if we should take some photos in the locations we are filming at (Hollow ponds and cargo container)

Team Talk

I recently talked to my team, as our actors have let us down to many times, so I asked them if it would work if we had two female actors instead of one female and one male. As I would personally volunteer myself to be an actor, if they are okay in using two female characters. The advantages of using me as the female actor is that I will be reliable, I would always be there. As I know if I do anything to set the team back it would not just be bad on me, but also on my fellow team mates.

Team Meeting

Team meeting notes: In our third group meeting we discussed:

• Who can be our actresses as we need somebody reliable.
• What days we will be filming, and what we will be filming on that date.
• what to do if one of the cast members can't make it - replacements
• Special effects- what we can and cannot do, which colours and shades to use as their are different types of cuts and bruises.
• We've discussed where to film in hollow ponds.
• We know what area to film in.
• Progression of actors and members.
• What the cargo container looks like from the inside.

Team Meeting

Team meeting for week 2 

• Back up actors as the ones we have already are not keeping in touch and confirming dates to meet.
• We decided on dates to film, so we can try our best to complete it before half term. If not we did also plan for one extra day after half term.
• We discussed that as we need the cargo container for our short film, we need to do a lot of work clearing it out, and also decide what we will keep from the cargo container to use for our short film, as we have permission to use that too.
• What props we would be using in the film and were we will get the props from.
• What clothing the actors will need to wear, also taking into consideration items they may already own, to keep cost down.
• What time of the day we will be filming.
• What day we should be filming on.
• What we scan do if one of the crew members were unable to attend on one of the filming days.

Team Meeting

Week 1- Team meeting

• We discussed what role each of us will be doing, so we do not have conflict when it comes to actually producing the film.
• We created the storyboard of the short film, working out each scene, what would be happening in what location and also what camera shots will be used.
• We discussed if there will be any issues while we will be filming the short film and see if we can resolve the issue now, or if it is something we have to consider in the future.
• Who should deal with what problems, such as positioning and controlled lighting would be left to the camera person.
• We created a script which helps each person to follow role and scenes easier,even though we do not include a lot of dialogue. - With the script we will give it to the actors before hand so they can understand the story better.
• We discussed what locations we would definitely be using, with this we also went and asked permission.
• We have been able to get two actors so we will be able to film when planned.
