Sound
The document discusses non-diegetic and diegetic sounds used in a short film. It describes creating a low, ominous bass sound on Garageband to build tension. A second, darker multi-note sound was made on Garageband. Stock doorbell and video game sounds from editing software and free sound libraries were also used to emphasize drama.
Photos - BTS
The document contains behind the scenes photos from a production day on set. The photos show the difference between what the set actually looked like versus what appeared on camera. They also looked at makeup application to check if it looked realistic enough for the scenes being filmed.
Film analysis' (1)
This short film takes place entirely inside and around a parked car outside of a bank. The lead actor shows his frustration at being tormented by a fly through exaggerated comedic movements and gestures rather than dialogue. The film employs rapid cuts between close-ups of the actor and objects in the car, and wider shots that show the car's exterior and location. It uses this editing and slapstick physical comedy to tell the story of a getaway driver who has three minutes to kill before his crew returns from a bank robbery, drawing unwanted attention to himself through his efforts to kill the pestering fly.
Pitch
A young girl is left home alone for the first time when her family goes on a trip. Her older sibling sends her a toy to keep her company, but strange things begin happening around the house related to the toy. As the dark and gloomy events escalate, the quiet girl starts to realize too late that the toy is responsible for the strange occurrences. The short horror film will have minimal dialogue, focus on a home setting with two actors, and target a teenage and young adult audience.

Risk assessment.docx.1
This risk assessment is for a student film titled "The Gift" filming on 10.12.19 at 43 Deerings Road in Reigate. The team members involved are listed as Amy Watt-Pringle, Molly Trubee, Abigail Slade, and Caitlin Briody. Hazards identified include falling downstairs, tripping over wires or a tripod, and being harmed by scissors. Control measures for each hazard, such as walking only and holding the handrail for falling downstairs, and keeping scissors in a safe place when not in use, are outlined to minimize risks to team members.
Evaluation
This document provides an analysis and evaluation of the author's short horror film titled "The Gift". The author drew inspiration from three short films - "The Ellington Kid", "Operator", and "The Fly" - in terms of establishing setting/atmosphere, using close-up shots to build tension, employing different shot types, utilizing lighting, location, sound design and lack of dialogue to drive the narrative. The author analyzes how their film compares to these inspirations and evaluates their own film's target audience, preferred reading, and areas for potential improvement.

Task 1
This document discusses several key elements of narrative storytelling in film, including formats and purposes of short films, components of narrative structure, character archetypes, themes, and analyzing short film examples. Short films allow filmmakers to gain experience, showcase their talent to wider audiences at film festivals, and help secure funding for future projects. Narrative structure in films typically follows three-act structure or other models like Todorov's five stages. Character roles include protagonist, antagonist, mentor, and other tropes. Themes are often specific to genres like science fiction. The examples analyzed apply techniques like shot types, editing, sound, and more to tell compelling stories in short formats.

Call sheets
This document contains location call sheets and shot lists for the film production "The Box". It provides details of the crew, actors, props, equipment and shots planned for three different filming locations - a house in Croydon Road, Reigate, Castlefield House, and the Castlefield grounds. The shots include the character Theo waking up confused, finding and opening an empty box, following a friend through a house, and eventually discovering a body in the woods while looking sick and tired.
Character Notes
Theodore is the main character, described as tall and average-looking with a deep voice. He gets stressed easily but does not get angry. As an only child, he is close with his parents and friends, who are like family. His friend is smaller than Theodore, wears hoodies, and has a calm personality. He has a deep voice that is sometimes monotone but expresses emotion during stressful situations. He is Theodore's closest friend and is seen behind Theodore frequently as he guides him through the story, which ends badly for Theodore.
Location checklist
The document provides location recce checklists for three potential filming locations:
1) Castlefield grounds - There are plenty of trees that could be used for cover and different shots are possible. Natural light may be blocked by trees.
2) Croydon Road (House) - It has multiple rooms suitable for different scenes and shots. Natural light comes from windows but additional lighting is needed.
3) Castlefield - It lacks natural light but has LED lights that can be used. Noise from other filming may be an issue.
