Assignment 3 task 2 Production

Upon collecting the equipment provided by the school and signing it out we proceeded to make our way on site to our filming location and proceeded to check the hazards of the location while we set up the equipment. After deciding all applicable hazards of the site where safe and the crew and cast understood what and where they were, we proceeded to move into positions to take the first few shots.

By making sure we filmed at midday on a sunny day with a clear sky we didn't need to worry about lighting as it was consistent throughout the filming period.

When instructing the actors and crew members we gave them a rundown of the storyboard and how each person fit into it to give a general idea where everyone needed to be, we then prosseded to tell the actors to improvise for the first few takes to get a rough feel of where people needed to be and tweek how sections where performed minorly so the final advert ran fluidly. we then proseeded to inform the actors exactly where they needed to be and introduced signs so the actors knew when do a certain action i.e run in from the left and the zombie to start attacking.

Proposal for "the purple box" Prepared by Harry Smith Sinister dimensions productions 21st May 2013 clients- Rocksteady, Mojang, Capcom, Ubisoft, atari copyright © 2013

Proposal for "the purple box"

Sinister dimensions productions has currently planned a 30 seconds long advert suitable for TV broadcasting set in a fake news report format. this advert will be aimed at a audience of 15-21 year olds, and will give unique references to each game in the box set throughout. This advert will feature two different locations a fake news station and on scene at a park in "Racoon city". The advert starts with the fake news report at the station with reports of chaos due to the release of a new game box "The purple box" which then brings the report to the park with the reporter there who randomly interviews characters from the games in the game box. this will then lead to cutting back to the news station where chaos will ensue and the station gets attacked by zombies which will lead to a blank screen and then information on the product. (how much it costs, what the box looks like, where it can be bought and the products website) The advert will be recorded with Sony DCR-TRV480E and the budget will be approximately £600.

The Slack in The Chase- Fitting location being a flat field with a city background and various trees
this fits perfectly with the planned events in the advert such as a character attempting to cut down a tree and another hiding behind a bush

Health and Safety- 
Uneven ground- need to make sure crew do not trip or fall

Potential filming problems- 
No electrical supply- all equipment will have to rely on battery power thus recording time is limited
No access to lights- so advert will have to be recorded in sunny days
The crew need to be aware of walkers incase they get in shot by accident.

Assignment 2 task 4

potential problems with advert	inclusion of problems	effect/ how to resolvent
copyright music	N/A no music used.	Would need owners permission to use music if used / use under 10 seconds.
copyright of ideas	* See Assignment 2 task 2	* See Assignment 2 task 2
risky content,	Violence.	Can cause the time the advert is shown  to be limited past a certain time to avoid it being viewed by inappropriate audiences.
false advertising	Advert could be mistaken as game footage.	This causes viewers to believe falsely of the product of what occors in the games however this can be resolved by stating in the advert that this is not game footage throughout.
product placement	Individualisation of products included in the game box at the end of the advert.	Contact owners of products advertised for approval of the use of products as presented in the advert.
