KARJ PRODUCTIONS

1. Location
Scouting

2. The first step was linking a location to our potential scenes,
this made it easy for us when it came to the filming as we
already have planned it this meant it would save us time, it
also built a time line of how our film will turn out.
As our film is called the 'The Job Interview' it only makes
sense to use a working environment as our title signifies
work. It only made sense to use the school premises to do
our filming, first of all it isn't costly and it was a safe
environment, we also had far more access to the school
which makes production times far more flexible and
convenient.

3. SCENE 1
We wanted an area which would allow the
protagonist to reflect bur yet be alone. We
want to start the film off showcasing the
preparation our protagonists for their job
interview. Public toilets will potentially allow
our characters to show their true colours
because they wont be in an open space
area, instead somewhere they can be
alone with their thoughts. The colour
scheme of the room will also help set the
scene too. There's no stand out colours; it's
all plain and blended in which may allow
the characters to stand out more. This way
the audience can focus far more on the
characters specifically their emotions.

4. SCENE 2
Scene two will take place in the corridor
outside the toilets. This scene will be
where we see both our protagonists take
their two journeys to get to the job
interview. The building we're filming in is
rather big and has long corridors that we
feel should be included. This corridor in
particular is bright, fuelled by natural lights
and has no stand out colours. Just like in
the first scene having a fairly bland
background scene means the characters
can have more focus. Being a short film
the focus is character creation so having
them stand out means we can showcase
their emotions far easier. Another benefit of
using this scene means that we can use a
wide shot perfectly fitting in both the
protagonists and the corridor walls.

5. SCENE 3
We want the two protagonists to walk for a
short distance together during scene 2. In
scene 3, however we can have the two
protagonists take their own path; one going
along the corridor and one down the stairs
to the left. There's also quite a contrast in
the two scenarios. At the back of this scene
you can see the corridor being bright. This
could be to emphasise one of the
protagonists having a positive calm
attitude. The stairs to the left are darker
and quite hectic. This could emphasise the
other protagonist being 'all over the place'
and organized. We could make it so that
the one on the left is late to the interview
from taking this path because he's
organised and doesn't know his directions
correctly.

6. SCENE 4
This shot follows on from the staircase to
the left. There isn't any particular
importance for this scene specifically,
however we didn't want to skip parts of the
journey. Having the scenes follow directly
on from the previous will create a full sense
of continuity throughout our film.

7. SCENE 5
The second set of stair cases is located at
the end of the corridor in scene 3. This
scene serves the same purpose as scene
4. We want to make sure that our audience
can follow the journey and somewhat
create a picture of the building layout in
their head. Another benefit of this staircase
is that it's located near to where we'll
potentially have the interview room.

8. SCENE 6
Scene 6 is where we want to incorporate
an outside location. To get to the room we'll
use as the interview room you need to go
into another building. This location
specifically has many potential benefits
within itself. It's a large area so we can
incorporate a variety of different camera
angles and find out whichever one has the
most positive impact. Secondly it's a wide
shot so if we decide to have our two
protagonists meet again this would be a
perfect location; they wouldn't appear
cramped within the shot.

9. SCENE 6 CONTINUED
This is the same location taken from the
opposite angle. As you can see it's a bright
and wide opened space. Granted the
scenery isn't that appealing however, it's a
short film so we want the focus to be on
our characters more so. If we use a good
camera angle we can really use this scene
location to great effect.

10. SCENE 6 CONTINUED
From the previous shot you can see an
opening to the left which is the entrance to
where we want the interview room to be.
What's great about this location in
particular is that you go from the wide open
space of the previous shot to this tighter
angle. It's almost like the audience is being
funneled into this specific location. It could
serve as a fore-shadow that this is where
the entire film so far is leading towards this
location.

11. SCENE 7
This is where we will have the waiting room
just outside the interview room. The benefit
of this area is that its fairly small and
doesn't have anything that stands out.
What we're thinking is that we add some
chairs to the area to really create that
'waiting room' atmosphere. The plain wall
on the right is where we'll have the two
chairs resting against and aim our shots
directly facing the chairs. As the area is
small we can really make great affect of a
close up shot on either protagonist. There
is also the possibility that we do a 'fly on
the wall' camera shot. The usage of a fly
on the wall means we can really show the
protagonists true feelings.

12. SCENE 8
This will be where our final scene takes
place; the interview room where the entire
film leads up to. We've chosen a small
room which is quite dark especially if the
blinds are rolled down which can make the
room rather dark. One thing we thought of
was having a sinister atmosphere interview
room so it feels like the interviewers
domain. The benefit of that is we can really
create a twist with the interviewer and this
scenes darker feeling. As this scene will be
the final one most likely we'll most likely
compose our shots of dual shots for the
protagonists or close ups for the
antagonists.
