Criticisms of Round 1 of the Party scene

- The camera work is shakey

- The dancers were not dancing together so it did not look crowded

- We did not get a variety of camera shots

- We did not get the dancers under control

- People changed the music whilst we were filming

Party Scene Round 2

Proposal

Ask media, film studies students and the actors in the schools production to act in our party scene because they are more likely to listen and take it more seriously because will understand the seriousness of filming and acting.

Ask the lighting technician if can do the lighting again for us and for him to not let anyone to change the music apart from Jordan, Genie and Naomi.

Just before we film it outline to them what we actually want them to do and also position them if necessary. Mark a circle ion the stage in which I want them to stay within so it continually looks crowded and looks a club scene.

Do rehearsal before final filming so they can get to terms to what they are doing and get use to
dancing to Dubstep music, if they haven’t before.

With the camera work we are going to use a variety of camera shots and also in a way so that the projector screen is shown rarely.

The outline of where the dancers were positioned- the white chalking

The Storyboard

The Script Drafts

Deadlines

Storyboard to be done and put on YouTube by Wednesday 20th October evening - (Naomi)

Final Script to be done and put on YouTube by Tuesday 19th October evening- (Genie)

These important deadlines have not been meant by Naomi and Genie, this is having an effect on how long it is taking us to film because without the script we do not know exactly what we need to film and without the storyboard it is uncertain at times what camera shoot we are meant to be producing.

The Prop list

The Letter

We chose to use a letter to signify the time where we are filming a 1960s scene and in that era sending letters was the most common use of communication. Also we chose to have the artist's name on the letter to introduce the artist in which the letter is shown at the start.

The Laptop

We chose to use a laptop to signify the change in time where the laptop is expressing a change to the 1980s from the letter where sending emails started to become common in the 1980s. Also chose to place coloured squares on top on the laptop allows the laptop to look more retro.

Postman bag

We are using this postman bag to expresses that the man on the bike is a postman to the viewers so that the meaning will be clearer as well. Where it also having the top British post brand the Royal mail on the bag is a strong indication that the actor is a postman

The Wig

We are using the wig to signify that the character wearing it is acting out a 1960s scene. In which long hair it this wig was common in the 1960s and in the music business where also the the women in the original Mr. Postman song have long hair.

Dear: Receptionist

I am writing to ask if we can use the schools Royal mail Postman bags for our media coursework because we are doing a Postman scene.

We are filming this scene on Friday 8^th October so if we can use the bag it would be very much appreciate and would help use a lot for our coursework
