The document provides details about a documentary being produced about graffiti in Leeds. It discusses pre-production elements like the topic, purpose, intended audience, and platforms for distribution. Risks associated with filming include visiting private property or abandoned buildings for shots. Interviews will follow COVID guidelines. The production schedule outlines filming and location visits over several days, with editing taking place over multiple lessons. A low budget is planned to cover travel and potential interview costs. Health and safety protocols will be followed during filming.

1. Pre-Production

2. Pre-production
• What are you making? I am making a documentary about graffiti
mainly based around the Leeds scene it will include interviews with
writers and shots of pieces and people doing graffiti.
• Why? The reason I choose to do it on graffiti is that its been around
for years and years however people still view it very negatively and I
want to try change that view on people that watch it.
• Who is it for? It will be targeting anyone as everyone has there own
view and I would like to show everyone that graffiti is a very
creative and positive style of art not a crime.
• Where will it appear/on what? I will use platforms such as YouTube
to promote this video and get as many views as possible however
this might be difficult as it may go against the YouTube community
guidelines which may even t=take my video down if I put a warning
at the start
Reflection:

3. Risk assessment.
For my risk assessment there isn’t much I will need to worry
about as most of my shots will be done on the streets. The only
risk I may face is if there is a certain piece I want to visit that
may be on private property or an abandoned building this may
cause a risk. However I haven’t really thought to much about
locations and don’t have any intentions of visiting these risky
locations. The main risk I will face is when I am interviewing I
will need to make sure it is all safe with the current covid-19
guide lines and will need to make sure to social distance and
isolate for the appropriate time before. This should be easier
when I come to filming as the guidelines should change and I
hope I will be allowed to do these interviews in a indoor space
so my audio quality is the best that it can be. Other than that I
cant think of any other risks I may face.

4. Story board.

5. Mood board
For this mood board I will be choosing locations
where there is a range of graffiti in the streets and
on private property I will find several different
locations.

6. Color scheme.
In this project I probably wont stick to a single color scheme as the documentary is about
graffiti so each separate piece will have its own color scheme and would make this project a
lot harder if a had to stick just to one. However I will have themes in my documentary all the
colors will be bright and bold this will make my final project look a lot better than if I just
stuck to one color scheme.

7. Shot list.
Location. Time Shot type.
My house
or Leeds.
1-
2mins
Intro to the documentary will either be filmed at my house or a
covered graffiti location so the audio is clean.
Leeds 10s-
1min
This shot will be of graffiti and some of the best pieces that I find.
My house 1min Start of the interview with the first person I interview. This interview
will be recorded in my house so the audio quality is clean.
Leeds 1min I will then follow up with more graffiti shots to get a better idea of
what sort of art I will be promoting in this video.
More
interviews
with the
same
writer
1-2
mins
I will carry on the interview and maybe start adding shots from the
2nd interview it will also include shots of graffiti and maybe even
shots of pieces done by one of the writer I interviewers to make it
more personal.
Long shots
and more
graffiti
1-2
mins
In these shots I will make a short montage of graffiti shots with
some accompanying music probably jazz as that is most fitting to
graffiti mainly as graffiti originated from new York and so did jazz.
Final shots 1-2
mins
This will be a round up of all that I said in the documentary it will
also include shots of graffiti and some outro music to finish.

9. Resources
Equipment/ Props/
Costume needed
Locations needed
Camera Studio or room to film the interviews.
Transport Belle Vue legal wall (Leeds)
Good editing software both at school
and home.
Meanwood/ Sheepcar Beck legal wall (Leeds)
Microphone for better sound quality (not
essential)
Scrap Merchants legal wall (Leeds)
Lights for any shots I want to get while its
dark.
Pudsey legal wall (Leeds)
All other shots will be done on the streets of
Leeds.

10. Contingency plan.
For my contingency plan there isn’t a lot that can go wrong the
main two things that could go wrong are my interviewers cant get
here or cancel on me or I cant sort transport up to Leeds or
locations I want to shoot at. Both of these could happen but aren’t
that likely if my interviewers cancel I will have to try and find other
writers that will be willing however that may be hard to do. With
transport I should be able to get a lift up to where I want to shoot
however if I cant I can just use public transport such as the train
which I may use anyway as there are a lot of pieces visible from
the train that I may not be able to capture if I got a lift there.
However this will be the same from a car as I will probably see a
lot of pieces on the way and I will be able to get out and get more
high quality pictures or videos of them. Other than these there
are minor things that could go wrong like if I cant come into
college for editing I will need to use free software at home but
nothing to major that would massively effect my project.

11. Contingency Planning
Potential Issue Solution
Interviewers cancel . In this case I would need to find new
interviewers
Weather of days I plan to shoot could be bad. I would have to re-schedule to a nicer day
when the weather is better.
Covid-19 restrictions worsen. This would effect my project as I would
have to shoot the interviews outside making
the audio quality worse.
There is a risk of if I take the train to Leeds they
may ask why I am travelling and if they dong
see it as essential travel I may get a fine.
If this does happen there’s not a lot I can do
other that re try another day or just focus on
the graffiti around my local area however there
is a lack of good pieces near me.
Cant get the camera equipment I need. I would just have to make do with worse
quality videos and audio which could massively
effect the final look.
Schools and colleges close again. I would have to do all the work in my spare
time with lower quality editing softwares which
could also effect the final look of this project.

12. Script.
In my documentary I will only need a script for the intro and outro I will also need
questions that I will ask the people I interview, if I get several interviews it will help to
give the documentary different views.
Intro
Outro.
Today I am I Leeds to look some of the graffiti that has been done here I will also he
talking to writers and getting people views on graffiti and how it is effecting the
community’s in city’s like Leeds. I will be looking at how it has changed over the years to
see what we have now and also look at the people working to stop this unique art
expression of art.
I hope this documentary helped you see the wider views on graffiti and helped you
understand why these people go out risking there freedom for a tag or a piece.

Script

14. Production Schedule
Day/Lesson Tasks
Day 1 I will film the first interview and the second
interview straight after as it will probably be
over the phone.
Day 2 On day 2 I will go to Leeds on the train and visit
half the spots I want to visit.
Day 3 I will get the rest of the shots and do a few
more interviews with writers I meet or even
explore the publics view and ask people o the
street what they think about graffiti.
Day 4 (Lesson 1) I will start the editing and start looking through
all the shots I took previously.
Day 5 (Lesson 2) I will start putting all the clips together in order
and get the basic structure down
Day 6 (Lesson 3-6) over these 3 lessons I will finish off the final
documentary and get it all edited and all the
final touches done so I will be ready for the
evaluation.

15. Location recce
• Pudsey legal wall (Leeds)
• Scrap Merchants legal wall (Leeds)
• Meanwood/ Sheepcar Beck legal wall (Leeds)
• Belle Vue legal wall (Leeds)
• Studio (My house)
• All other locations will be street shots in and around Leeds.

16. Budget.
My budget for this documentary will be very low as it is a
non profit piece of work unless it actually gains the views
to push it further and start making profits however this is
very unlikely. I will have to pay quite a bit on travel fees
and maybe also to the people I will interview to get them
to my location. Other than travel fees I will also have to get
a new SD card for my cameras and might even need to buy
Adobe Premiere Pro if the restrictions get worse forcing
me to have to edit at home. However hopefully they
should not allowing me to use the software I want to use
for free instead of having to pay for it.

17. Health and Safety
Potential Issue How will the issue be
avoided?
Working with electronics can be a risk in
several different ways a specially if in close
proximity to water.
To avoid any possible risks I will try only shoot
while its dry and jus being careful around them
will take away a lot of the risk.
Another risk there may be is some of the
locations I want to visit may not be on public
property and I may need to find a way in.
To stay safe while in an abandoned building is
relatively easy however the getting in is the
difficult part for this I will make a planed and if
it is too difficult I will just move on there’s not
much point risking an injury for 1 or 2 shots.
The interviews and who I talk to at the moment
with Covid-19 about may cause a risk to me and
or others.
I will avoid this by following the government
guidelines and make sure I am always socially
distanced so there is no risk of it spreading.
Other risks I may face are
