Production Schedule

Date			Activity
22-04-2013			Pre-production Our initial idea was to create a religious concept for our narrative. We developed the idea further by studying different types of ways that religion disagrees with criminal activities, and how it can affect your faith.  We then decided to create the main point of the film, which is that people should not be regarded by their religion, but rather who they are; since depending on the sort of person you are you can still become influenced by money and the people around you. Our short film is inspired by the film ‘Fish Tank’ and also the music video of the artist K Koke ‘Turn Back’.
24-04-2013			After discussing our ideas, we successfully developed our idea further by introducing characters and developing the scenes of our short film. We constructed a plot that the group agreed on. On this day we also managed to assign the paper work, and these are the following roles that were assigned: Idris:  Risk assessment, Production Schedule, Crew List Ousama: Director, Editor, Writer and Actor Omid: Inspiration Board, DA’1st Ash: Storyboard, cue sheet, equipment list and cinematographer Bilal: Character Synopsis and Cast list Priscenya: Actress
24-04-2013			The group then began to complete the paper-work. We made the risk assessment including all of the possible risks which might occur during the recordings.
29-04-2013			The group then made a production schedule, and also collected the contact information of the crews phone numbers and emails. In our production we had to switch roles for the writer since the original person who was assigned to the task couldn't complete it in time. So Ousama had to adopt the role and create the screenplay of the scenes.
01-05-2013			Recording On this day we began to record the outside scenes for our short film. Ash the cameraman, managed to capture the footage of the scenes using the screenplay as the guide. Throughout this day we managed to record all the outside scenes.
02-05-2013			On this day Ousama and Priscenya came back to the college in order to finish the last scene of when she leaves the house. They also had to get permission to use the studio.  The re-recording of the audio for the scenes also took place.
03-04-2013			Post Production After finishing all of our paper work, Ousama edited the short film on Sony Vegas Pro. We chose to use Sony Vegas Pro to edit the short film because it allows us to edit quickly and to add colour grading. He also used Audacity to sound mix the audio, because it was too noisy.
15-05-2013			Reviewing Work On this day the group had to go over the work we had done, checking that enough content was in them. Idris had to add more to the Risk Assessment and Ash had to rewrite the Call Sheet. The work was also reviewed by Ousama, to check that all the content was valid and by making sure it was up to standard.
20-05-2013			Evaluation After we completed all of our production and pre-production work, we had to reflect on what our roles were and how we developed our ideas in detail, how we feel the production stages went, the strengths and weaknesses of our video, and if we thought our production succeeded our expectations.
