LO3 Annotated PRINT SCREEN of edit timeline


Annotated PRINT SCREEN of edit timeline
(each individual must show how they contributed to the edit decisions)




Here is a screen shot that was taken when we was editing our video. In this screen shot I am adding the music we had chosen to the specific area of the video. The reason why I did this was so I could test myself to see if i got the hang of editing. 


This is the screen shot that was also taken while the editing was in process. The Moriarty of the editing was done by one of our group member as she was more aware of how to use such effects and helped make our video a good start.

LO3 Be able to apply single camera techniques in a production


Production roles
(who worked as director, actors, camera operator, editor etc.)

Warda - Director/actor/editor
Minha - Filming/Photographs/Camera Operator
Sabeena -  Filming/Camera Operator

Production meetings and production log
(individuals must show evidence of their contribution to the production)

Diary Log

Throughout the whole unit of single camera my group and me worked together and planned everything that we wish to apply on our video. We all came up with many different ideas and then we decided properly which idea mixed seemed better.
We came up with the idea where we will have a culture girl where she is under a lot of pressure and at a point it gets too much for her where she tried to run away but then gets hit by a car.

There is a mixture of ideas that Warda and I came up that we both combined together. Sabeena helped us give some ideas as well as doing the idea board layout.
With all the work we have done we did together but in most of the work I added a bit more of my own details in. I uploaded the location and cast photos more understanding and myself that I took to make my work look clearer.

LO2 Script / Prop list / Character Profiles


Script

Our Script
Scene 1:
Aisha’s body is lying on the pavement, with blood on the floor next to her body.  The camera zooms out of her body and shows the sky.
                                (The screen fades to Black)

Scene 2: 
 Aisha's stressed out and someone keeps calling her in school, she gets upset and doesn’t answer the calls, this is set in Sidney stringer school up in 6th form.

Scene 3:
This scene has been shot in Foleshill. Aisha is walking home in the dark as soon as she gets into her house Aisha and her mother have a talk about her getting married.
Mother (Sidra): you got me all excited, teenagers like you! There married, they’re married and have two kids. What are you looking at me like that? Listen I'm being serious Aisha, like seriously you should get married I have the perfect idea of a beautiful marriage. You need to have a sustained, you need to be in a new environment, and your old enough and I think that you’re ready. 

Aisha: Mum don't OK i want to stay in education, I want to make something of my life, please don’t get me married off at this age, and please I'm begging you.  

Scene 4:
In this scene Aisha is worried about how her fathers going to return from Africa in two days with a proposal, she is storming off and as she is running out of the house, she tries to cross the main road; without looking at what’s coming…

The car knocks Aisha over, and the camera fades away and the screen turns white indicating the ending of the story.


Props list

We will also be using Props;

Fake blood -  fact that the main character Aisha has been hit 
Pen/Books – this is to show she’s in school and is having a hard time doing work
Table
Mobile – lover trying to win her by constantly bothering her

Character profiles

(Personality traits, background profile and costumes worn by character)
Aisha- she is the main character (she is very perky person and has a very bad attitude when it comes to her parents). She doesn’t wish to hurt them so she does everything they will without a complain. She wears the Islamic clothing (Jubbah and Hijab). She keeps herself to herself and tries hard not to let anyone get involved with her in any way.

 Sidra- is the other of Aisha (is very shy and listen to every word her husband says to her). Sidra and her husband Hakim have a marriage where he has all the say and only he can be right and is always right according to her and him, so this means she is easily persuaded by her husband to do what he thinks is right and she does this without a question

LO2 Recce photos of your chosen locations (put in WORD; annotate, justify location choices)


Recce photos of your chosen locations
(put in WORD; annotate, justify location choices)



This is the first location we used for our first scene. It was based in school where the students go and do work during their own time. The reason why we used this area is because it was colourful and a good location for the scene for the time then.


This is the same location from a different angle but the reason why couldn't use this angle is because it wasn't as good as the other angle of filming and also it looked quite busy. Other angle of filming and also it looked quite busy.



This is the a little kitchen area in the student 6 form room which we was thinking of using but didn't because it got quite busy at times and we wont able to use it at the times we needed.



This is the location we wanted to use for the first scene but then changed our minds as it was surrounded by load of children and we wont able to hear each other or film without people interfering. 



We decided to use the stairs while she leaves to go home but we find it hard to film from the angle we was at as it was to hard to film.


This is the hallway we used for Aisha to walk across in a rush our scene 2 was filmed here.


This is the house we used for the main character to call home.




This is the area we used the actor to be hit by a car.

LO2 Casting photographs and justifications

Casting photographs and justifications

Casting auditions for Aisha ( main character





Sonbul
This is one of the cast we auditioned for Aisha (Main character) but she wasn't able to do the acting as well as we hoped.



Amirah
Amirah was also auditioned for being Aisha but her acting wasn't as well as we were looking for so for this reason we weren't able to take her on for the role.



Sarah – Jeena
We auditioned Sarah for Aisha but she wasn't as confident to do some of the scenes we had to shot. So for this reason we wont able to take her along.




Warda
Warda was the chosen main character as she was most confident and her acting was what we was looking for. 


Casting auditions for Sidra ( Mother




Kadijo
We auditioned Kadijio as Sidra (mother) however she looked a bit to young for the role so we had to decline her.





Marian
We auditioned Marian as well for being Sidra (Mother) but she didn't look old enough to be the mother of Aisha and didn't look any similar to her and it didn't look as real. 


Amal
Amal was perfect for the role of Sidra as she was the younger sibling to Warda but she looked much older and it looked real as they are family.
