The Henley College AS Media Studies production unit evaluation presentation of 'Ghost' by:- David Kirwan Rachel Finn Ruby Urwin Michael Smith

1. M e d i a S t u d i e s Production Unit By David Kirwan, Rachel Finn, Michael Smith and Ruby Urwin!

4. David My tasks in this production were to write the screenplay, direct the film and edit the film. Scriptwriter: For the script I chose a basic storyline of a ghost following round a couple of kids. I thought this would give a wide range of shots as well as being an interesting effect.

5. Director: As the director I lead the production of the film which at times was challenging. I was in charge of what shots we were going to film on different days and how we would shoot those shots. I found it easy to tell the camera operators how I wanted each shot filmed

8. Actor I acted in just one of the scenes as I was the only one that hadn’t been filmed and was voted the best at screaming. It was filmed just outside the media room in R115 as it is quiet and empty there. It was shot by Michael and he decided to shoot it as a mid shot at eyelevel creating a neutral feeling, but showing the audience my feelings to. Unfortunately though due to the software, the audio couldn’t be included so David used his initiative and used a scream found from the internet. I think this works just as well.

11. Voice Over I found this difficult, as I got my words muddled up, and I ended up rushing it, sounding breathless on the film. I am disappointed with this as I got frustrated, when all I should have done was take a breather and try again, but with the time restrictions this wasn’t possible. Prop Help Lastly I was prop help (which is a lot more interesting and harder than it sounds). I had the fun of blowing paper of the counter with a hairdryer and pushing over a stool, which is good for getting rid of that anger. Overall this was a worth while and fun experience, which would have been better if we had more time, but was done to the best of my, and our, ability.
