This document outlines Stage 2 of a research and experimentation process. It instructs the reader to research potential production techniques, examine at least 3 related works, and collect supporting materials. It also recommends experiments with camera, editing, audio and getting feedback from a target audience. Potential constraints that could impact the production are identified, including issues related to time, personnel, costs, technical factors, locations, and organizational elements.

1. STAGE 2
RESEARCH +
EXPERIMENTS
James Gannon

2.  Research potential production techniques you might want to
use or feel would be most appropriate – these can be related to
camera, editing, story, sound, etc
 You should look at a minimum of 3 related products in your
research.
 You should collect clips/still images/how to guides/etc that
might help you. When watching scenes from films, etc you
could also ask potential target audience what they think.

6. EXPERIMENTS
Camera/Editing/Audio Experiments
Be prepared to add extra slides

8.  What elements of your experiments will you include in your
final product?
 I will make sure that the characters and camera man stick to
the plan and script to ensure that the film runs smoothly.
 Everyone will play a part wether its filming, editing the
footage or acting.

9.  List all the potential constraints that might affect or limit your production,
you should consider issues from each of these categories:
 Time/Personnel/Cost/Technical/Location/Organisational
 People being late/not turning up/ill
 Price of props bought or used in the production of the film.
 Lighting/camera malfunctions/no sd card/ low battery
 Rain/cloudy/noisy (if outside) very noisy/ too many obstacles/things in the way
(inside)
 Script not taken, may not have a schedule or time to get to a certain location/
miss informed of location
